Several stars pledged to leave the country if Donald Trump was elected president. 
Many said they'd move to Canada (Lena Dunham, Snoop Dogg), some suggested Europe (Spain for Amy Schumer, Italy for Omari Hardwick) or Africa (Samuel L. Jackson), and one even said Jupiter would be the ideal destination (Cher). 
So are they planning to follow through on those promises? Here, a post-election update.

    These twerps look so self-important when they ‘proudly announce’ they will leave if.......but never do. The leftist creeps probably still laud them today for’ taking a stance.’
Reminds me of what Tom Selleck did after becoming the Magnum P I superstar. At the end of one of the episodes, he was at home, opened up a National Review magazine and made sure everyone could see what he was reading. At the same moment, he lifted his eyebrows up and down, basically telling anyone who might object....too bad.

    Please leave, oh by the way, you will still need to pay US taxes….🤣

    Their promise to leave the country probably flipped at least one state to Trump.

    "one even said Jupiter would be the ideal destination (Cher)."Oh I agree with Cher. In fact, I'll help her pack.

    Where they should be is another matter.
Let’s say they should buy some fireproof swimwear before plunging into the Lake of Fire.

    Who cares? Did they think they were punishing us by depriving us of their presence? Or more to the point, pressuring us by threatening to leave?

    They said that back in 2016 and they were FOS then and they’re FOS now.

    These twerps look so self-important when they ‘proudly announce’...
 Just like they say "oh yes, of course, I will gladly open my house to a homeless immigrant family or person". And then when you put up a person posing as a homeless immigrant, they ALL promptly gtfo.

    Basically none of them followed through because the realize they have more freedom here than anywhere else to spew their venom.

 Sounds risky - residents of any recipient planet are liable to interpret that as a hostile act and respond accordingly. Don't need an interstellar war on top of the ones we have now.
