  • Most foreign official gifts which the President and First Lady do not retain for themselves are transferred to the National Archives by the Gift Unit, and become part of a presidential library museum collection.

    Any foreign gift that is of substantial value is considered a gift to “the people of the USA”, not it’s president, so if the president wants to keep it they must purchase it.

    They’re trying to find loopholes to this rule by transferring it this way or that way, so Trump can keep it, despite it being clearly against the law.



  • It is not, all public schools where I live are prepared to handle this, there are nation-wide protocols for it.

    My kid has a severe food allergy, and has to carry adrenaline pens with him at all times.

    This was documented in the enrollment process, and this “flag” prompts action by a bunch of different people, like the nutritionist that creates the school meal plans so that they can adjust his, and also the meal prep workers, who will avoid contamination when preparing the meals.

    The health services that work with the school are also informed, and they include this in school health prep plan, which eventually causes the teacher and helping staff to receive training on how to identify allergic symptoms and how to administer the adrenaline pens, and cautions that need to be taken when food is around.

    Do you think that letting kids starve or die because of a food allergy is a better alternative, or what? This is literally what I pay taxes for, so that all kids (not just mine) can learn and have a full belly.


  • It’s a genuine mistake (/s), they thought that pro-business/anti-regulations would help their small business.

    As with everything, they lied. It’s about billionaires making more billions, at the expense of EVERYONE else - workers, but also other businesses. I’m convinced that all the rest, including the racism, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and overall bigotry are just tools to convince people to act against their own interests.
