But I have been wrong before, and there’s no harm in plotting an escape route ... just in case.

they lived their lives anticipating the next Hitler...my father jackhammered holes into the slab under our beds and filled them with gold coins and gold watches...the window drapes were weighted down with diamond rings and cash...why?..so when the Nazis came for us in the middle of the night my parents could bribe the guards to let us go...I know exactly what you're feeling...I just can't do that anymore...

I figure that there must be some established Jewish communities in Mexico that could help you get settled in. Yiddish is certainly more useful than my French.

Other than Turkey and Tunisia, Mexico is about the only country that will let me in at this point.

If Trump wins, she’s ready to go with me.

I don’t really see another sane alternative.

If somehow he 'wins', then the fix was in.

In that case it would be time for states to stand on their own and defederalize.

for all of the rights he has violated and for having to tolerate such stupidity.

Also, legalize not only marijuana, nationwide, but also make any and all sedatives over the counter, so we can numb ourselves until the fucker finally dies or leaves, whichever comes first. I don't really care which at this point.

I just think we should be able to sue our government for cruel and unusual punishment for not stopping his obvious corruption and his constant attacks on the GLBT community and women and children and all of us, really. The sheer stupidity of it all is hard to pretend not to notice. I refuse to pretend. Fuck him and his worshipers. They need to climb back into the primordial ooze and either decide to quit devolving or evolve faster. I'm sick of the rest of us having to wait around for them to learn how to act like human beings.
