No kidding. It's not impossible you could successfully emigrate, but an asylum approval seems far-fetched.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Oh for heaven's sake, guys. I'm joking.  :rolleyes:

Besides, my grandmother moved to the states from Germany. If I really wanted to move somewhere legally with ease, I have that as an out. Or buy a bit of land in Spain.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I am so glad I live in a foreign country already.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

A not insignificant number of Americans have tried this over the years.  The large majority of their refugee claims are denied.
A not insignificant number of Americans have not lived through a Trump's second mandate :P

but you need to learn German or Spanish for that.

Where as if you move to rural Alberta, it will feel like a progressive version of Alabama and you don't even need to learn another language! :D

I have to finish the day early because apparently Mike Pence is here in Iceland. Sad! :mad:

Trump apparently alters a NOAA hurricane projection map with a sharpie in order to justify his twitter claim that it might have struck Alabama. :lol:

He's sounds and acts like a six year old kid.  :(

But the Fake News is only interested in demeaning and belittling. Didn't play my whole sentence or statement. Bad people!"

He's like the kid in science class that didn't do shit for his presentation so is totally making it up with whatever he can find with a quick Google search, a printer, and a sharpie.

I mean - no one should really care that he mentioned Alabama.  So he misheard or misremembered - it happens!  If he would have laughed it off like "covfefe" it's no big deal.  He could have said "well thank God I was wrong about Alabama - but keep our minds on the others"  But he has to keep doubling down on the most inane shit imaginable.

It's the worst case of "right man" syndrome I've ever seen. He simply cannot ever be 'wrong' about anything, even the weather. To say he's wrong about some detail is to attack his self-esteem and invite retaliation.

Seth Meyers had a funny clip collection. Trump said something about no one ever seeing a category 5 hurricane before. He then showed clips of a number of times he said the same about the previous three category 5 hurricanes during his presidency.   :wacko:
