Government response should be.... "While the government sympathises with your plight and considers protecting its citizens a core duty, recent events have left the government under manned and thus powerless to protect those who cheer on the downsizing of the government until it directly affects them. Therefore please accept our apologies but until such time as staffing levels allow us to focus on anything but the absolutely vital functions of government which are already more than we can handle, we will not be able to offer you any support."

The country that is the world champion in school shootings doesn't have much credibility when pointing the finger at others.

Rather than introducing sensible gun laws, they'd rather try to paint someone else as the villain.

While what you are suggesting is useful information no one outside the US needs to know it. We already know they are throwing stones from their glass house. Anyone inside America won't believe it.

In that article it is mentioned that Trump is going back on an agreement he signed a few years ago.

Therefore agreements made with Trump do not mean anything. He will choose not to honour them if and when it is convenient to him.

But then I guess we already knew that from his business practices.

The art of the deal is to make the other side believe you are honourable, use that credibility to offer more than you intend to give and leverage them to give you what you want. Then invent a pretext to cancel the deal and keep your ill-gotten gains.

The problem with governments dealing with trump is that they trust him to be true to his word. I do not believe he will. I fear he will use this approach with Ukraine to hand them over to Poo-tin. Then when it's to late for the international community to do anything he'll just say Zelenskyy didn't hold up his end of the bargain.

Just be yourself and let him decide if he loves you. Don't decide for him.

If you can smell something, part of it is airborne. Pretty sure I know what peanuts smell like.

I've been on a lot of flights and never been served peanuts since the 90s. I was under the impression they did not serve peanuts on flights any more but those stories you linked say otherwise, but of course you can't stop people bringing their own.

I think you have to speak to a doctor and maybe see what the options are.

I was thinking more about his survival prospects but ok.

Can we strip him of earth citizenship and send him to Mars? Preferably without any of the engineers whose work he claims the credit for?
