Gabriel: Hi guys! good news: Gabriel: <file_other> Isabella: that's quite amazing Nate: finally, he really should be impeached, such a disgrace for America Isabella: I agree, although I'm not sure it wouldn't be counterproductive Nate: what do you mean?

Isabella: I'm just afraid that as soon as the impeachment procedure starts, they would only consolidate around him claiming that it's a huge conspiracy against "American people" Isabella: and if he was impeached they would keep believing that he was stoped from making America great again by some evil people Nate: I get your point Gabriel: I am unfortunately afraid of it as well Gabriel: but it means that we have to wait till he really destroys this country completely, so the majority would be convinced he is evil or at least incompetent Nate: but it may be too late then, he's not only destroying this country but the whole planet Nate: think about the Paris Agreement Isabella: right, very sad Isabella: ok, there is some hope that the impeachment procedures would be conducted thoroughly presenting to the public all malpractices of this administration Isabella: especially the Russian story may be appealing to the conservative mind Gabriel: right, but as said - there are too many good reasons Isabella: but for that to happen we really need to convince some republicans and media Gabriel: and there is a question - who after Trump? According to the constitution I believe Pence should become the president Gabriel: and he's a real bigot, arguably worse then demoralised Trump, who after all doesn't care about most of the things apart from his ego Isabella: Yes, the moron Pence as president! this would be the end of the world as we know it

Anne: Thanks a lot! I was thinking about Angelo's as well, but it happens that my cousin is Italian so I think it may be a bit risky to impress him with an Italian restaurant ;) Carl: Fair point. What about Toff's? They are famous for having the best fish and chips in the UK. Anne: Haven't heard about them! Where are they? Carl: Third zone, near Highgate. The area is beautiful, really worth going, especially if someone's never been to London. Sarah: If you're looking for something more central, I highly recommend Yori. It's a Korean restaurant, a true gem <3 Anne: What are the prices? It's not that we are really on a budget here, but wouldn't mind saving some for more touristic stuff ;) Sarah: Cool, I find Yori affordable and their prive-value is really high in my opinion. Carl: Same for the Toff's, they mainly sell fish and fish and chips, so maybe check with your cousin if he likes it first. Anna: Oh, I bet he'd love to have an Instagram worthy photo with a fish and chips in London, hahaha! Tom: If I were you, I'd focus on the bars more ;) Take him to Soho, skip the fancy ones though. Anna: That goes without a question! Have a few places in mind already. He also has a sweet tooth, so I was thinking maybe Hummingbird? Sarah: I think I may be joining you for that one! If not, take the salted caramel for my sake. Anna: Always! I always go for the red velvet, even if Tom thinks it's overrated. Tom: Because it is, it's just a normal cake with red dye in it. Sarah: So Tom is definitely not going to Hummingbird with us :D Party pooper :P Carl: How long is your cousin staying? Anna: Four days so that's four lunches/dinners - waiting for your recommendations! Tom: Hm... I would also suggest street food on Brick Lane or Borough's Market - if a party pooper may have something to say :P Sarah: But never on a weekend! Unless you fancy getting stomped or like to waiting for your food like FOREVER. When is he coming? Anna: Thursday to Sunday, so Thursday after flight it is then. Fortunately, he's flying in the morning. Thank you so much guys! Carl: Our pleasure, as long as you bring us come cupcakes on Monday :D Sarah: Yeah, three red velvets for Tom :P
