Trump

I completely understand you're reluctance to post Jobbo - The naysayers would say you're being over the top and have nothing to worry about but it's not worth the risk.

I'm so glad we got our New York trip BEFORE he was inaugurated and I won't be going back until he's gone.

It's the UK who put people in jail for saying something on the internet.

If America doesn't let you in, is that so bad

Dave!

If we’re doing false equivalencies, it’s worth remembering that the Americans shoot people dead for disagreeing with their policies. So there is that.

It's ok, I know never to run in a straight line and always look for cover.

I've about 3 years of work out there soon, I'll be getting my work visa in a few weeks so i'll be sure to grab my Reversible MAGA/No Kings hat before I go. Its the east coast so I don't know if I should arm myself or not. Supposedly pretty nice to work there but thats when we had a lot of work in Peoria I think.

Dave!

Assuming that he's talking about Lucy Connolly, she was jailed because she pleaded guilty to a hate crime.

I think it would massively impact your holiday if you get denied entry on landing at JFK because you get unlucky with a random check of your online posting history. Easier not to make it an issue.

I read somewhere it was advised to remove all social media from your phone. I guess it’s just simpler/safer to take your old phone, wipe it aside from a few essential apps. I’ve got 30,000 photos and there’s probably a screenshot of a Trump meme in there somewhere which I’m not gonna find!

Years ago I got held at JFK for 8 hours because a prick at the check in desk kept folding my passport in the opposite direction and main page with the photo started to come away from the spine.

Nigeria, horrible passport control guy put the stamp on the details page.
China, not allowed work phones or laptops there, must use specially supplied ones from work.
Sudan, laptops and hard drives checked for porn.
Now America is joining the fold

I don't know anyone who has had an issue and we send a lop of Trump memes about, we have about 6 guys out there now.

Maybe don't dye your hair purple and wear a keffiyeh or Shemagh at passport control though !

Dave!

He’s stood in front of the entire UN today and announced he is changing the name of Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence" and all US government documents will now be changed to refer to "SI".

He actually said:

the United States also totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control for the— artificial INTELLIGENCE being spoken of SO MUCH now, herein and after officially called SUPER— intelligence. changing the name, and that the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake. it makes intelligence fake. it makes it sound fake, and it is not fake. it’s actually— amazing. but we have to be careful. IN FACT, it is exactly the opposite of— what it— purports. from this point forward, ALL OF United States documents and hopefully the world’s will be changed to use the much more ACCURATE term SUPER, as opposed to artificial. so it’s— super— intelligence. in other words, WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD of super intelligence, dash, SI. SI. let’s see if that goes. sounds much better, it is much better, and it’s much more accurate. let’s see if I have any power. maybe I do and maybe I don’t. we’re going to find out pretty soon. SUPER INTELLIGENCE. every major new technology brings challenges.

The speech as written obviously said “super intelligence - SI” and he read it out as “super intelligence, dash, SI”. Because he has the reading skills of an 8yo.

But wait ! There’s more ! He had a meeting with Burnham and said afterwards:

he asks good questions, but— and I think there’s a tremendous patriotism, in Britain. we call it the United Kingdom, Britain, sometimes England, you to back to the old— it’s got more names than any other place in the world. and sometimes you have to be educated as to what— but uh, there’s great patriotism in the country. and they want to see— great things happen.

He literally has no clue what the UK is.

When you read, verbatim, what Trump actually says, it really highlights how dim he is

Rarely finishing a sentence/train of thought

Musk is the same
