Be careful what you wish for. Isn't he safer wrecking late night TV than the economy?

@amandaknox.com I wonder if they have your books in the DS9 library...

Captain Pike, Captain Picard and Chief O'Brian - both captains recalling their positive experiences with condensed time memories, O'Brian.... not.

I think the worm took anything that was left left boxed up to-go.

I think the idea is that it's like a lottery ticket: tiny chance of getting anywhere each time, but if you do it enough times...?

And make it "Trump-Epstein files".

He’s so far gone he’s even started telling the truth by mistake. Complaining about the President appointing the fed chair … in 2017. The “terrible” trade deal with Canada - negotiated by … the 45th President.

Or a vote to release Epstein himself, having missed the news about his death.

Some of us saw through it, but a lot just blindly swallow their daily five minutes of hate without thinking.

"No justice"?! The killer was caught and sentenced - and in fact has now been released, and already seems to have reoffended against another woman (trial imminent). The police also arrested 3 innocent people - contributing nothing to any kind of justice.

Want to outwit Skynet? A spelling test should suffice:

Facebook AI claiming that "one thousand" does not contain the letter N. Oops.

The costs can be dwarfed in some cases, like if you sell a house in the UK - and the US just cut the cost of renouncing too. Real barrier is just how likely you are to want to move back vs staying put.

020

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 24/05/2025

I grew up with some in the UK too - I doubt Trump actually has any plan to fix it, but I hope someone does eventually. Keeping such a big inventive to renounce citizenship doesn't seem like a good idea to me, probably why only one other country does it!

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 24/05/2025

AIUI as long as it's uniform between states it's OK - so a special "red state tax deduction" violates the 14th, but the existing overseas deduction could just be made unlimited, and the US effectively joins the rest of the world outside Eritrea.

120

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 24/05/2025

I don't think it needs to apply outside the US - indeed most laws don't. "Without apportionment among the states" and equal protection would mean it couldn't be different between NY and TX, but overseas taxes are already different from domestic with the non-resident deduction.

110

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 24/05/2025

In the other country, yes, but not the US if you renounce citizenship. (Only one other country taxes its citizens overseas anyway; Trump pledged to fix that, too, but we know how far to trust that...)

He'd probably take it in Confederate dollars, too. Or old Zimbabwe ones.

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 20/05/2025

Too many seem to - usually through vaguely remembering old headlines and never having learned any of the details, like Rudy Guede being convicted of the murder and the forensic evidence showing he was alone at the time.

The insanity of calling him "genocide Joe" while backing the nut who actually wants to do literal ethnic cleansing to replace their homes with a new golf course... Not enough facepalms in the world.

"Just" prostate cancer at least - so there are much worse cancers he could have had - but the bone mets can be nasty. Fingers crossed for him and his family.

"Real US prison food" (Nutraloaf) on Instagram. Quite the range of comments: "atrocious", "better than most American meals"... www.instagram.com/reel/DIyr2EH...

Can’t be - he was just complaining about SCOTUS stopping him flying criminals out of the country!

The only change I can think of is that surely he'd be subtler than this - how long before the MAGA caps sport a hammer and sickle?

If you're in (legal) trouble, asking for a lawyer is usually the best starting point. They can help get a translator, make sure your country's consulate has been told about it, explain what's happening - and stop you being railroaded in a language you don't speak fluently. *cough*Italy*cough*

010

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 14/05/2025

That and "Vienna Convention", where Article 36 requires your country's consulate to be notified of arrest and allows them access to detained citizens. (Of course, some are more helpful there than others...)

Hopefully have a happy reduced-troll mothers' day, with your mother and both your very lucky kids!

Put him in a small cage and poke carrots in occasionally? Seems cruel for a bunny, they need space and exercise, but for Mr 45 IQ, I'll allow it.

010

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 11/05/2025

How about when it mistakes the little brother's finger for a carrot and bites it off... Then he gets back from ER, wags the newly reattached finger at it and says "naughty bunny" - and it happens again? ER doc an hour later "this seems strangely familiar..."

Our liver can make enough glucose via neoglucogenesis from other energy sources. We also evolved to metabolise alcohol, giving us an advantage over the other primates, but hopefully we won't get official SG's advice of "drink like Hegseth, it's what sets us apart from the other apes!"...

I very nearly said to a friend in Amsterdam "hey, Dutch people love orange, right... Could I interest you in a second-hand politician? He doesn't speak any Dutch, but he can just about manage English on a good day..."

010

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 05/05/2025

That's the scary thing. They could have run that story under any previous president and we'd have laughed - with this guy we have to go and check if it's real (yet)... What joke headline really manages to go too far? "CBP diverting all suspected tourists direct to Gitmo for enhanced interrogation"

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 05/05/2025

Biden *did* make it better, Trump is making it worse and needs to be stopped.

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 05/05/2025

How does it look if you split closed and open primary states? ie how many are Republican versus "want to vote in Republican primaries"?

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 05/05/2025

On the bright side, he probably forgets all about that after nap time and has 3 new ideas each dumber than the last. One day he'll watch "Escape from New York" and want it made real. That'll be hard on his staff.

I had a "99" (vanilla soft serve cone with a Cadbury's Flake in) last month, first time in ages - I've missed that.

Not sure about "more" profitable, but as a replacement client for the service they had been offering the UK it makes sense for them.

Nah, simple enough. She posts good and interesting stuff, people like it. You should try it sometime.

They're very confident in Trump's ability to pardon them so this change won't affect them personally?

James Sutherland @sutherland.pw · 01/05/2025

There's an expiration date on that, though: his ratings are already nosediving as people lose the jobs they thought he was saving, pay more for the groceries they thought he'd make cheaper. Die-hard fans say "wait a month" - and when it's even worse in a month? They get very lonely.
