What's the world coming to when Blair says something reasonable?!

It's difficult for me, Ginger. I'm still trying to read the Runes as if these were 'normal' politicians - and while some may be, one is clearly not. (I'd probably do as well by checking how many slices of bacon he had for breakfast. Blush)

GingerIvy · 22/02/2017 16:43

Interesting to point out that I saw a meme today re Standing Rock. The pipeline apparently was supposed to run through another town (not Native American) and the townspeople complained as there were concerns it would poison the water.... so the Native Americans got forced to take it instead. Even though it's their tribal land.

Ah. So the 'so-called' judges raised only a couple of 'technical dofficulties'? Grin

Sorry. ...difficulties....

I think someone needs to explain to Trump that if you break the law and end up in court you can't just go out and break the same law wearing a different hat and expect everyone to go 'oh, well that's OK then' Hmm

cozietoesie · 22/02/2017 17:26

He'll try it nonetheless. (And just who is going to tell him? Grin) The GOP need to have certain things laid down.

Maybe he realises that deep down. Wink

GingerIvy · 22/02/2017 17:27

Very convenient of Miller to tell the news media that it serves the same purpose, is the same thing as the old one. hahahaha

Be fair, ami. He didn't write that himself so it would take physical time for the draft to reach him. Smile

I am surprised that he learn stuff by going to that museum. Surely someone who aspires to lead a country should know the history of that country. Slavery and racism is a massive part of that history.

Same for the holocaust museum.

I said before on previous threads why this all really bothers me. When I was young, I lived in Cyprus. A country that is still divided. There was an invasion by Turkish troops to protect the Turkish Cypriots. Villages were divided. We went on a school trip at the age of 10, just a few years post invasion and went to an abandoned village. We saw a mortar shell that had killed a child my age. Blown her head off.

Since then - I've been to Auschwitz. The Holocaust museum. Dachau. Prague. Krakow. All areas involved in the Holocaust and the effects of hate. I've done a lot of travelling and that's opened my eyes.

Hate kills. We are greater together than separate.

As far as the pipeline goes, the thing to remember about tribal lands is that although they 'belong' to us, they are 'held in trust' by the US Govt. Which, in effect, gives the Govt control over what happens on them. In order to stop an action on tribal lands, the tribe has to sue the Govt . The problem with that is that in the United States one has to have permission to sue the Govt. Guess who grants that permission?
