Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 19, 2019 Members Share Posted August 19, 2019 Even the NYT can still publish deeply affecting pieces. This is one of them. I read this on MSN.com's news site though but for some reason, MSN doesn't tweet out these links but in case you don't want to give the NYT site their click(s), there is also a direct link to the MSN website. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/women-are-fleeing-death-at-home-the-us-wants-to-keep-them-out/ar-AAFYiFg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 19, 2019 Members Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Two breaking developments: 1. Planned Parenthood withdraws from Title X funding: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/19/health/planned-parenthood-title-x.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage 2. NYPD fires the officer in the Eric Garner case: https://beta.washingtonpost.com/national-security/nypd-fires-officer-in-eric-garner-case/2019/08/19/2d0ead96-c296-11e9-b72f-b31dfaa77212_story.html Edited August 19, 2019 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 19, 2019 Members Share Posted August 19, 2019 ^^I hope that this police officer, excuse me former police officer gets the same treatment as the police officer in the Anthony Baez case. That officer was fired and eventually tried after initially being found not guilty but that was after the feds came in and re-tried the case. In the Garner case, in order for there to be a similar outcome, there would definitely have to be a new administration in the White House. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 19, 2019 Members Share Posted August 19, 2019 ICAM. For me, it isn't enough that he was fired (after five, long-ass years). Eric Garner's family deserves more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted August 20, 2019 Members Share Posted August 20, 2019 The Native American stuff is the main reason I was wary of supporting her in the primary. It's always going to be an issue, but at least she is trying to repair some of the damage. I read that Susan Sarandon is out making digs about her. No surprise there, really. I see a lot of comments about stories like the the one about the abused women which basically say - we have our own problems. And these comments are from Democrats, and people who could see themselves as moderate or liberal. I understand why people feel that way, but I worry about what this coarsening will do to America in the long term. That's the worst of Trump, in some ways - in the long term he has encouraged so much coarsening and rotting away of the best of what the country was meant to be (even if it was rarely actually able to live up to that best). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 20, 2019 Members Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Susan Sarandon was getting heaps of derision in regards to her comments (which I read, didn't watch the video) last night on social media. I didn't bother to post anything, because at this point, I really wish people would ignore Sarandon, who is obviously unnerved by yet another woman running for president that she thinks is getting in Sanders' way. For all intents an purposes, Warren is now considered (and has been, for years) a bona fide Democrat, something Sanders is still not regarded as by the majority of Democratic voters. Hopefully Sanders will remain mired in fourth or fifth place (sixth place would be even better) so the idea that somehow he's the best of what the Democratic party has to offer would finally and definitely be put to rest for good. I just wish that people would stop giving oxygen to Sarandon's foolishness. Edited August 20, 2019 by DramatistDreamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted August 20, 2019 Members Share Posted August 20, 2019 I could understand (somewhat) Sarandon's antipathy toward HRC in the last election. Warren, however, has a cleaner record by comparison, and Sarandon's STILL pitching for old, white, out-of-touch Bernie? Y'all were right: white women hate each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 20, 2019 Members Share Posted August 20, 2019 What a stupid decision by the government. This is not just to protect the detained migrant population but also the larger population who could contract the flu. These centers are not hermetically sealed, it only takes one un-vaccinated worker or guest to "carry" the virus to the outside population. Also, the basic premise of having sick incarcerated children and adults suffering and possibly dying of the flu is just inhumane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 21, 2019 Members Share Posted August 21, 2019 So, in Trump's quest to undue the Obama era regulations, he didn't foresee that California and several automakers would thwart his plans with even tougher regulations. Ha! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 21, 2019 Members Share Posted August 21, 2019 Who the hell still watches Dancing With the Stars??! Or Dancing With The "Star", as Whoopi Goldberg used to refer to it. Meanwhile there's an inept madman in the White House who refers to himself as King of Israel and Jesus Christ Superstar after backing out of an international visit with Denmark because he was rejected in a bid to buy Greenland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
