Have a good evening, everyone.
If news dares to break, I'll look it in the eye and tell it to go away.
And then I'll post it.

@GottaLaff 👍 great thanks! (You wanna hear something funny, my count of friends, i.e people I know from work or friends etc, educated people with great jobs etc... who are planning/making plans to leave the US is up to 6 (6 couples)! I'm floored. Especially since at least half were totally unexpected...
Leaving Blue or Red states?
All moving to CAN or other countries?
@VeroniqueB99 Thank you sweetie! Doing fine, and hope YOU are.
@GottaLaff Hope you're doing well 😉 !
@HistoPol @GottaLaff Both red and blue states, and not all planning to move to Canada. Some Europe.
@VeroniqueB99
I had expected this trend to happen earlier. However, I've not heard of s.o. having such diverse friends all with plans of moving abroad (unless you work at an embassy or consulate 😉)
For an American, tooting in 5 languages is "something."--O only saw English ones when scrolling.
I should post more in more languages, I realized. Sort of an "unfulfilled promise" in my bio. 🙈
I will help immensely not to have a monodimensional bubble.
@HistoPol you did? How come? It makes no sense yet... usually people are trying to move to the us not out... I usually translate it all too, I figured 99% speak English @GottaLaff
My definite wake-up call came in May of 2022 by a classic @MeidasTouch video about a mother trying to smuggle her pregnant daughter out of #TX:

Even a year ago, I had been preaching it for a long time, e.g.:

And if you look at one of my central threads, this scenario has become all the more likely by the nomination of #TFG as the #GOP nominee:

Leaving the #US has merit.
@HistoPol @MeidasTouch Yep I had seen this mother out of TX.
Way ahead of you: I gtfo in Jan of 2017... rings a bell... 😉 Best move I ever made so far. It's so weird cuz I still have the 'go back' reflex, then I see where we are now and I'm like "I was ahead of things but now hell no!! With the like I have, the US is definitely NOT the place to be"...from what I gather from people I know personally in the intel community, I'm on point so for now...I'm letting 💩 happen and settle then we'll see.
