Now it’s time for us to move to New Zealand. Ruth Bader Ginsberg wasn’t the only one thinking this.
Washington Post ^ | Anna Fifield

The prospect of a Trump presidency led to some prominent Americans — including Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — joking, or perhaps half-joking, that they would move to New Zealand.

Ginsburg gave a nod to this splendid isolation during an interview with the New York Times in July. “‘Now it’s time for us to move to New Zealand,’” Ginsburg said her husband would be urging if Trump won the election.

Billy Crystal had the same idea. “I might consider finding a nice little ranch in New Zealand,” he told Australian media earlier this year. (By the way, Billy, we call it a “farm.” Yes, even the ones with animals only.)

But the idea has taken off this week. Web traffic from the United States to the New Zealand government websites that deal with immigration has skyrocketed.

Notice they want to go to predominantly white, European-like first world countries.

New Zealand also has a very tyrannical central government.

The kind that lefties seem to worship.

All these liberals who praised Castro would never even dream of moving to Cuba.

Ginsberg is definitely not the worst judge on that bench!

I’d love to contribute toward a couple of one-way tickets to NZ as soon as RBG resigns her SCOTUS seat.

They certainly have the money to go from one country to another as often as they want.

I guy I worked with wanted to retire and move New Zealand after vacationing there for a few weeks. Once he found out the hoops you had to go through to even apply, he dropped it.

Looney liberal think every country will just let people come into their country just because they want to come. Most countries actually have immigration laws that are enforced.

“I doubt libtards have a clean record biometrics-wise if they ever need to immigrate canada.”

That’s a good point and one I hadn’t considered.
These egomaniacs assume that Canada will roll out the red carpet for them just because they are so wonderful.

And maybe they think this way because over 8 years Obama has gone beyond welcoming border jumpers to flying them in.
Canada takes its immigration and naturalization laws seriously.

All of this “I’m going to move to Canada (NZ or wherever)!” from our lefty butt-hurts is no different from “I’m going to hold my breath `til I turn blue!” We wish they would but it’s more than they won’t. As you say, many of them can’t.
We’re stuck with them.

Interesting. So Ginsburg who is Jewish you would think might want to go to Israel, if she wants to escape Trump’s new “racist” US

Instead wants to go to New Zealand the same country that picked up and sponsored the anti-israel resolution in the UN after Egypt dropped it after Trump twisted Egypt’s arm

It seems there’s a lot of Jew that are like a lot of the citizens of Western Nations... they both seem to have a death wish...

This is so strange Western culture is judeo-christian culture... and judeo-christian culture seems infected with desire for suicide

Ist interesting this is Christmas Day. The Western holidays and celebrate the birth of a Jewish child as Savior of the world

These morons even stated it when W won and that was more than 10 years ago and STILL these assholes ruin America. Liars and hypocrites. Canadians as a whole are generally liberal but conservative at relevant causes.

When 3 illegals went to the canuck SC years ago, the SC deported them immediately and canada made mexico pay for the flight of those 3. Plus the majority of the polls were in 90% in support of kicking people out if they’re not legally in the country. As a matter of fact, canadians laughed at them..

The Jews and Israel are and always will be God’s “canary in the coal mine” (the vehicle for signs and
warnings) for those that are willing to see
