    Another unforced error. When summoned you go. Especially when your boss is making waves constantly.

        @Renauda ???

        (I am assuming you are not talking about Papua New Guinea. 555. Though of course, maybe you think he should be exile there. I know that the capital Port Moresby is one of the roughest places to live. )

          PNG is short for declaring a diplomat persona non grata, void his diplomatic status and send him back home.

            @Renauda France will not do that. Neither will Belgium as the consequences might be too obnoxious.
            But this is definitely a US strategy: causing havoc by pertinently lying about and interfering with local politics in Europe.
            Trumpty-Dumpty and Shite (US ambassador in Belgium) are exponents of sheer stupidity and arrogance.

              I offer my sincere apologies on behalf of my countrymen who voted for this.

              The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

                No need. For all the bluster, missteps and chaos it's still better than the alternative.

                    The mere fact that you don’t think there’s a need is proof of the need for someone else to do it.

                      No, no it's not. I criticize him as much as anyone but you. I just don't do it with such a pathological hatred.

                        You’re not making sense.

                        Apologizing doesn’t imply hatred. Nor does it at all imply anything about the alternative.

                        When you’re at the beach and your toddler steps all over someone else’s blanket with his sandy feet you apologize to them. It doesn’t mean you hate your kid and it doesn’t mean you wish you had had some alternative kid.

                              Your years of derogatory posts toward Trump and anyone foolish enough in your eyes to vote for him are ample evidence of pathological hatred.

                                Here's a start: an apology on behalf of someone who doesn't want to apologize, is not a legitimate apology. It's really only a sanctimonious posturing, meant to imply a superior moral positioning.

                                  I am genuinely sorry he was elected. You can’t possibly believe otherwise.

                                  So I’ll rephrase it.

                                    I am aware of that, and agree with your breakdown on it.

                                    I also feel similarly that Ottawa should PNG the current US ambassador to Canada, Peter Hoestra. In the past year his comments on Canadian domestic affairs and issues have periodically ventured way offside of acceptability for the most senior accredited diplomat representing a foreign country here.

                                      @jon-nyc Now that we're therapizing, do you suppose the wallpaper of vomitous hatred you ply this board with, will help to keep people from voting in the way you're "sorry" for, in future elections? I know the word "sorry" can be multi-purpose, and one can be "sorry" for things they had nothing to do with, but the most effective apologies stem from regret for one's own behavior.

                                          Not so sure. I doubt “the alternative” (this one time I am not referring to Nikki Haley either) would have awarded an ambassadorship to a convicted felon, albeit pardoned by Trump himself, and family relative through marriage.

                                          At the very least, bad form and raises more questions than should otherwise be warranted.
