Yesterday, my wife said something I'd never thought she would say:
"You know, maybe we should start thinking about moving out of the country?"
She's still a few years from Social Security age, and my parents are still around at age 92, so the time is not right for this possibility. However, if things don't start turning around in 2018, we may well start thinking about where we might go as expatriates. There are a number of possibilities, of course, so perhaps I'll start looking at annual living costs, etc. for some of them.
Both my wife and I speak conversational French, and I'm OK in Spanish and Russian. Russian's right out, although there are a few former Soviet bloc nations that are possibilities, and where Russian is still commonly spoken. Spanish seems more useful, though, and there are a number of countries where US expatriates live in sizable numbers.
Still, I'd like to stay right here, so could we all please work together to reverse this ugly trend, starting right now? That'd be great.

though I think Bernie will fix things in 2020. Still holding out hope.
One suspects Methuselah's going to succumb of old age before 2020.

51. It is actually not easy.
I'm a permanent resident of Canada. You can't just show up. You need a sponsor, be that a spouse or another relative or an employer. Or you need to have money. And you can't be too old or in poor health. And while your paperwork is in process, which can take a good year or more, you cannot work or get healthcare or pretty much do anything.
Most countries do not have an open door.

41. Not every US govt benefit follows; something to research.
One surely hopes not; probably even social security checks shouldn't pass beyond the border.

Why not try Uganda or maybe the Congo, the weather is warm and it is cheap to live there.
Canada is tough, they already have their own liberal freeloaders to take care of.
As far as Eastern Europe goes I am sure they will be happy to hear your socialist / communist leanings. :-) :-) :-) :-)

Why not right over the southern boarder to Mexico?

I hear Zimbabwe is great, especially this time of the year. Or maybe that South American socialist Paradise, Venezuela.

I cannot encourage this line of thinking enough. Please go and renounce your citizenship to show you are truly committed to the cause.

I think that Venezuela would be great for the DUches. they love its government policies and they should use their giant intellect to turn things around.
I got a hunski that say not a single one of the DUchebags moves.
1. The other countries don't want anymore parasite.....unless they are muzzies.
2. They are DUches and barely get to the bathroom everyday. Much less uproot their lives.

I would donate for your moving costs as long as you renounce your US citizenship completely. I bet you would get enough donations that you could move cost free.

Why are they concerned about Canadian immigration laws? They don't give a shit about ours.
-
Unless you have a few million to invest or are an indigent from a 3rd world hellhole, immigrating to Canada is impossible. And they WILL jail you then deport your ass faster than you can say "hypocrite."
-

1. Canada enforces their laws.
2. Enforcement action would affect them (i.e. the DU members).

And yet ................
Personally, I would love to see you subhuman, viscous ass-spew leave. Anywhere.
Or, die.
Mostly, die.

How about North Korea or Afghanistan.

40. Those who survive will be those who flee
The right wing is extremely violent and well-armed, and they've completely infiltrated the military and police apparatus, in addition to having capable militias and inchoate death squads.
We have orders to shoot on sight anyone we see who is wiggle waggling their armpits. You've been warned.

In a video posted to Twitter, speaking in English, Macron said:
“I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you. I know that you are a great nation. I know your history, our common history.”
“To all scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the president of the United States, I want to say that they will find in France a second homeland. I call them: Come and work here, with us, to work together on concrete solutions for our climate, our environment. I can assure you, France will not give up the fight.”

The stupid old blowhard running his mouth about how he's some kind of master of foreign languages. It was just a couple of weeks ago when the dumb ass was asking how to translate Marine Le Pen's name from French into English.

I'm confused. Is it LePen, Le Pen or Lapin?
The first two don't translate from French to English, but the third does.

3. What? It's Le Pen. That's her name. No translation needed.

4. Oh. Thanks so much!
You've cleared that up for me.
Derp.
What a dolt.

"Conversational" French - knowing how to ask where the bathroom is and how to call over the waiter who has been ignoring them ... in an accent so bad that people laugh behind their back.
Less scarcastically, conversational (any language) is not sufficient to discuss business or ideas. MM is kidding himself. It would take him a year or two of immersion to start to be able to discuss his business, hobbies, and political ideas.

Nice catch. :cheersmate: I'm guessing that the DUmbshits grasp of "conversational French" consists of watching Corporal Louis LeBeau on Hogans hero's. :-)

Mexico and Venezuela were great recommendations for the DUmmies.
How about Cuba?

I think the DUmpasses keep forgetting...
Canada is refusing to accept the freeloaders... only muslims need apply.
