No European law applies outside Europe. That’s kind of the nature of laws.

Back when I lived in N. Carolina, there was a local brand called “Dr. Enuff.” Loved that stuff.

On earth? No, not by a long shot. We would need to get into the deconstructing planets business.

An interesting analyses. It certainly matches what we’ve seen. His attacks on the standard list of people is moderately pathetic, and quite predictable.

He’s never told the truth in his life. How hard would it be to say “no, of course not.”

Wasn’t he introduced with a story of pulling off a miracle to escape the Gorn? Or am I not remembering properly?

Trouser Python. Technically true, and no-one is going to check.

Can Trump prove his citizenship, if this policy goes through?

the only time I was ever hesitant about a vaccine was the smallpox vaccine that they brought out just as I was enlisting. It was widly reported that it was risky to take, as it contained actual virus, rather than just the recognition bits.

I picked it up from an episode of Deep Space Nine. Good times.

The US is obligated by law,

Yea, that’s a law we passed, right? One which we could repeal, too?

I thought I was wrong, once. But I was mistaken.

And we provide Israel weapons to bomb Gaza.

That doesn’t always work.

We used to have an agreement, didn’t we? What happened to it?

Oh. Right.
