Those other countries will be safer, because their criminals are coming to America.

David, you are an idiot.

Immigrants...real immigrants, not border crashers, did what it took to be here legally. You are a lawyer...you should KNOW that there is a huge difference.

Good riddance.

Biden: I will tax the wealthy!
The Wealthy: Joe is my man!

Trump: I will Make America Great Again!
The Wealthy: I’m moving to Portugal.

“Wealthy,” but only has $500,000 budget for a new home? Hardly. Idiotic person. We could use less of that type here.

The lawyer is also moving to escape the looming threat of gun violence.

“I told my wife about 15 years ago that I had made peace with the fact that I could be shot dead at any moment in time in this country,” David said.

15 years later. Show US the bullet holes, pansy. I think you and your wife should see other men.

““Wealthy,” but only has $500,000 budget for a new home?”

It says second home. He is not really moving, just wants to be dramatic. He knows Biden is coming after his money.

“ “This country of mine has become intolerant,” David says.

The irony.

Sounds good to me! I sincerely hope that as they leave they're renouncing their US citizenship so they don't darken our doors ever again.

You don’t need to be wealthy to do this and if you have Italian ancestors who immigrated, it’s apparently easier to get dual citizenship. I’ve looked into this (not for emotional political purposes) and came to the conclusion that it’s not worth the hassle of dealing with an inferior infrastructure and everything closing in mid-afternoon every day (forget any weekend shopping) just for nice Mediterranean weather.

Yeah well as a descendant of people who landed here 11 generations ago well over a century before there even was a United States of America and as someone who has had family in all of the wars this country fought - several of whom lost their lives - I’m more than happy to see you go “David”. As we say here in the South, don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Take a couple of your Leftist buddies with you while you’re at it.

You won’t be missed.

Portugal’s government is typical of government. Like other countries, it can be great to be a wealthy foreigner ... until it isn’t.

“Snap legislative elections were held on 10 March 2024 to elect members of the Assembly of the Republic to the 16th Legislature of Portugal. All 230 seats to the Assembly of the Republic were up for election. The elections were called in November 2023 after Prime Minister António Costa’s resignation following an investigation around alleged corruption involving the award of contracts for lithium and hydrogen businesses.

No party achieved an absolute majority of seats, with the center-right Democratic Alliance (AD) led by Luís Montenegro winning 79 seats, closely followed by the Socialist Party (PS), which lost the absolute majority it gained in the 2022 elections and was reduced to 77 seats. The election also saw the emergence of the right-wing populist Chega party as the third-largest party in parliament, quadrupling its previous seat count to 48 seats.”

This is their mindset. To them, because they don’t differentiate between citizen and foreigner, because they are all the same, they don’t mind killing off the American in favour of the foreigner. They have no allegiance to their people.

The wealthy liberal would be emigrants are not talking about moving to Latin America but to southern Europe, countries that have similar immigration problems as the U.S. Given past statements by high profile Hollywood leftists about leaving America after the election of the younger Bush and Trump, you have to be skeptical. But leftist American emigration to Europe did happen in the 1920s. Like the artists and writers who fled to Europe, especially Paris, in light of the first Red Scare and the White House under conservative Republicans Harding and Coolidge, they are ideological emigrants.

Tolerant/Intolerant

ANOTHER word that has been hijacked by the leftists
just like countless others:
Democracy
Gay (yes at one time it simply meant happy/joyful. At least through the 1950’s as Ed Norton used it on at least 2 episodes of the Honeymooners)
Progressive (the word should mean progress forward)
Racist
Human Rights
Diversity

the list goes on........

Donald Trump is the only one that loves America. Say what you want about him ,but he loves this country and will do anything to save it. Including lose everything he owns. There isn’t anyone else that would ever go thru what he has to save America. So go ahead and leave.
