Does it matter who he is? Forcing face down on the floor and handcuffing for asking questions in a press conference is overkill no matter who asks the questions.

Given Russia's history, what does he think would happen to the present population if Russia managed to take over Ukraine?

I noticed this morning they are also recommending Americans don't get on an airplane unless they have a measles vaccination.

Will I buy it? No I'm vegetarian, but actually I won't buy anything American if I can avoid it nowadays.

We talk about those who got out of the Third Reich in time as smart, now is the time to get out of the Fourth Reich, while they still let you.

Why do they need precision targeting gear when they bomb everything?

Difficult to enforce. Eg. I'd argue "Fuck Israel" isn't an insult, more a statement of desire or intent. "The Israeli govt. are fuckers" might be, but a good lawyer could well argue it to be a true statement, not an insult. That would be even more embarrassing for the fuckers.

"I don't really, but my parents said I had to get a job and it's the best of a bad lot"
Whatever you say, don't be honest. This question is trying you out to see if you can lie properly.

To take into account antagonising the wrongdoer flies in the face of the rule of law. The law should be applied equally without fear or prejudice.

Why "diminish global science", shouldn't that be 'relocate global science' ? Are scientists going to stop thinking when they leave the US?

In my garden, avoid power tools, get exercise with hand tools and hear the birds.

"That detects" implies a conscious process. "Invisible", in what way? Transparent? Too small to affect photons? It's tourist trap trivia made from something interesting. I look at the picture and think 'Nothing with a person in a boat floating on it is 'Ultr-pure'

My Wegeners is now GPA because Wegener was a nazi party member. It's all wrong, science is science no matter what your political persuasion, and as a university professor I don't think he had any choice. What happened to your famous 'Free speech' Mr Trump? It can't just be for some, not others.

I have Wegener's granulomatosis. The name was changed to an acronym recently because Wegener was a member of the Nazi party. So what if the science is good? Who next? Socialists? And I don't think you had much choice anyway working in universities, doesn't mean he wanted it.

Know it so well, read through carefully twice, hit 'post', and then ... how?

So there is this 80 year old nobody who left school at 16 and got a couple of 'A' Levels later in life who is better educated than the people running America? Sounds like their DoE actually needs reform, then they could make America great again and not be run by morons.

Am I reading this right, did they really confuse transgenic with transgender and start shouting about it? That would be hilarious, but sad.

Strawberries have their seeds on the outside, I think they are the only fruit that does.

Can I be bothered? Do I have the time? It is easier to treat it as entertainment and disbelieve it all.

Has anyone investigated any relationship between diners and restaurant owners? Not saying there is, but it is a traditional way of giving someone 'A little leg up' at the expense of others.
