"IF TRUMP WINS THE ELECTION, I WILL LEAVE THE COUNTRY!"

(a list of Liberal Celebrities who think we care whether they stay or leave)

There are a plethora of other websites which have published lists of prospective "Ex Patriots", but they are largely redundant and this list seems to include most of them.

The funny thing (and I mean funny in the sense of 'amusing', not 'odd' is that there are no follow-up stories of "Celebrities Who Have Actually Left The Country Since Trump Won!"

These 23 Celebrities Said They'll Leave The Country If Trump Wins - Catherine Dunn:  *
   1, Jon Stewart 
   2. Chelsea Handler 
   3. Neve Campbell 
   4. Barry Diller 
   5. Lena Dunham 
   6. Keegan-Michael Key 
   7. Chlo Sevigny 
   8. Al Sharpton 
   9. Natasha Lyonne 
 10. Eddie Griffin. 
 11. Spike Lee
 12. Amber Rose   
 13. Samuel L. Jackson 
 14. Cher  
 15. George Lopez  
 16. Barbra Streisand 
 17. Raven-Symon
 18. Whoopi Goldberg  
 19. Omari Hardwick
 20. Miley Cyrus 
 21. Ruth Bader Ginsburg  
 22. Amy Schumer 
 23. Katie Hopkins

I recall a similar list when "W" won the presidency, and as far as I can tell nobody actually left then, either.

One funny thing about this list, is that I don't see Alec Baldwin on the list;
he was on the "George W. Bush Ex-patriot list"  back then.
He didn't leave either.   In fact, he disavowed the rumors!

I wonder how many of the current list of Bail-Out Big Names will follow in Baldwin's "Flunk-out Footsteps" this year?


* I make no claims to the veracity of the reporting.  In fact, I don't even know who half of these people ARE or why anyone cares whether they stay, or leave  (I recognize 11 names).
 But I do find it amusing that all of them are Democrats.   I don't recall any Republicans "threatening" to leave America if a Democrat was elected to the highest office in the land.   I may be mistaken, but I'm never wrong.

Also, it's interesting that the article cites "23 celebrities", but the LINK cites "10 celebrities".  My guess is that the list grew as other opportunists jumped on the non-committal Band Wagon.

OMG!

"Inviting Tragedy"

The correct response when “ordered” to do something like this is “Fuck You, Sir.”

Trumpiness Trumps Trump

Two weeks ago I wrote:

I do NOT like Donald Trump.  I'm outraged that this is the best candidate the Republicans can find....
I like everyone else on the Republican Report Card even less, because they seem like children.  ON ONE HAND, Trump is at least a grown up and understands money .... I'm just not sure that this is the same thing as being "a viable candidate" or "presidential timbre" (whatever that means).On the other hand, everyone who seems to be campaigning for the Democratic Nomination is so extreme that they make Trump seem rational.

I take it back.
Nothing can make Trump seem rational.

Now, I'm willing to settle for "not evil" (which lets Hillary out of the running).

But I'm not willing to give up the "Trainwreck" theme, as Trumps Billions have created an egomaniacal  monster ... (should I have said "megalomaniacal"?  I always seem to get those two mixed up) ... whose self-love is only exceeded by his disdain for any opinion other than his own.

Which puts him squarely in the same category as Obama, only with more money and more power.

So it would appear that there are NO candidates for President of the United States.  Rubio and that other guy whose name I can't remember have assumed the back seat, apparently hoping to be tagged for the VP spot when the country votes FOR The Donald and AGAINST The Hillary (who is soon to be wearing prison blues anyway;  I wonder how Trump engineered that one.)


Remember "I Have A Dream"?


That was probably the most powerful speech ever given during the 20th century.  I would have voted for that man.

Compare that with this:



While I'm opposed to unrestricted immigration, this ad makes my teeth hurt.

So, I will officially oppose Donald Pouty-Lips as soon as I find a Republican who can beat Hillary Clinton.

Any suggestions?

Anybody?
