with the army in the streets after he led a violent revolt against congress, a small send-off because he refuses to attend his successors inauguration, 400,000 dead from a pandemic he ignored, and that he pardoned torturers and career criminals that funneled money to him, would you have believed me?

(85,331 posts)I know people that have done this. It is easier to do while you're alive. They can pass it on to their kids. Their kids can go to college in Europe for free or low cost. That's a big one. Someone I know registered their kid in Belgium. (Father is Belgian). The kid got to go to school in Scotland(?) as a citizen.

(58,785 posts)that in the end he'd leave quietly, beaten and in disgrace.
I was wrong in my best guess that bipartisan leaders would come tell him how it had to be. Instead, after he tried to kill a bunch of them -- failing with his usual outstanding cowardice and ineptness, he was rejected and isolated and they didn't even pay him the courtesy of talking to him.
