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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
