    Does the US not have an extradition treaty with Scotland? Shouldn’t convicted felons typically be arrested and sent back to their country for processing? 🤔

      Britain does not extradite to the US without an ironclad guarantee they won’t be their true backward colonial selves and apply the death penalty.

        You think the Scots are weird, head down to the other end of the island and get a load of the Welsh. Their motto: “Rydym yn caru defaid!”

      I guess it’s just closer to the center, and it would have been weird in place of the T.

      While basically everything is pointing at that (and basically everyone knows, including even some MAGAts), there is no hard evidence for that at the moment, and if a newspaper mentions such a serious claim they could be sued for that. Now, unfortunately, “but come on, Mr. Judge, we all know that” is both true and unfortunately insufficient for defense. I guess that’s part of the reason they didn’t use his entire face, and they can say it’s just someone whose eyes look similar (it might even be the case, and they might reveal the entire photo). You could also say the smaller letter text under it is unrelated. I guess there is a reason they didn’t mention his name in the big text one, either.

      Honestly, even if they got their hands on the Epstein files, a single name entry in a list of invitees might not be sufficient for sentencing him, since simply being there doesn’t immediately mean that you’ve done anything to minors by existing in that location. It is a great material to start a legal process or an investigation, but unless there is an actual photo, video or someone’s confession in it, it won’t stand on its own.

      Everyone who you think is on the list is on the list.

      Just write all their names down on a piece of paper and say it’s the list, if they want to disprove it they’ll have to release the actual list. Except it won’t, because your fake list will be an accurate representation of the real list.

    It would be a real shame if someone were to find out which way the obese imbecile was arriving at the golf course and vandalised it cashing him a paedo and rapist. A damn shame. I hope no one does that…

    Though I’m not sure he can read anyway.

    Odd question, but I’ve traveled to Canada with a coworker who was denied entry because he had a felony. I wonder if Trump can go to Canada?

      We found out when he showed up at the G7 meeting in Kananaskis last month.

      For the record, you can also order political opponents assassinated on Canadian soil and be welcomed as well. Mr. Modi was there as well.

      What a joke

      Yes.
      He’s exempted via diplomatic passport. The same would have applied to Trudeau entering the USA, as he’s admitted guilt to possessing a controlled substance.
