But that's the worst part of Canada!

Huh? Do tell. As I said there is Howe sound for water, mountain biking nearby, and skiing. Or I suppose there is Nelson or Kelowna. But no salt water then.


EDIT: how the heck did I misspell "there" in that sentence before I corrected it!?

i'm thinking maybe the south pole. i just don't see trump bombing the south pole for any reason. i should be far enough away from him to not be TOO effected.

of course, there's always the moon.
 
I have not problems with the cold or snow....just not for longer than a month or two. Mexico might be nice. Get a little place on the beach somewhere. Will I be able to get back through the wall, or is that a one-way ticket?

i'm pretty sure you'd be screwed. you could be using a fake driver's license, so we can't trust you not to be one of those mexican smubblers/drug dealers/rapist/murderers....etc. rolleyes1
 
This whole thing is starting to feel like Baby's First Election. FINE. EVERYONE is gonna take their ball and go home. Don't make me turn this car around. That's it, mister. You can just go to bed without any president at all.

Sheesh.
 
That would be better than either major party option.

People say that sort of thing, but do you really want Paul Ryan and the crybabies in Congress essentially running the show?

Or some completely unaccountable department head in some alphabet soup agency just enacting policies without oversight?

Really, how is any of that different than the past 16 years?

At least we have a national mascot whose name we can curse. And it's not like if we elect whoever the 3rd partly libertarian goober is gonna be this time that he/she (who am I kidding, libertarians are all dude-bros) wouldn't become totally hateable within five minutes of taking the oath of office.

Because the president does the will of the American people. And the American people are gross.
 
As I digest the inevitability of Trump being the R nominee, something has occurred to me: this is in fact what the people want and have been clamoring for. I read something along these lines today, and it made a lot of sense.

Stay with me here for a second...

We've been bitching about the two party system forever and how the leadership of the D and R have been picking the candidates, effectively locking in career politicians and locking outsiders out. Who could possibly break that lock? It had to be someone with bazillions of dollars - it's the American way. Joe Blow from backwoods, anywhere USA may be a great president, but we'll never hear about him, ever.

So it's Trump, a man with unscrupulous business ethics and a loudmouth bully to boot. He broke the mold. (Ross P did as well, but he had to run as an independent). Why? 'Cause he could afford it - 'Murica!

The dems had a chance to do the same with Bernie. The only problem is Bernie is a nice guy, not rich (in the Trump or Hillary sense) and he says what he means and does what he says. Nope, that is not how you break the machine. Bernie is a thorn in Clinton's side, but his fate was sealed before the first ballot was cast. The democrats are running in situation normal.

Do I like Trump? No. Do I agree with him on many subjects? No. But I do recognize the significance of his inevitable nomination and also recognize that the dems are not ready to change.
