That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

The US ranks 20 and at the bottom of all the full democracies. It's almost, in 2015, a flawed democracy. I wonder where it will be in a couple of years on this list.

No, I'm just going to pitch a tent on his lawn.

And even though I've given it a lot of thought... No, I'll stick it out in the US...

So brave. So edgy. Flee your home country, come here to work, make a good living, talk mad crap about your host country while your home country implodes. Perfect.

It's not his host country, any more than it's your host country.
He's a citizen, in a country with the First Amendment - at least last time I looked.
So suck it up in the Land of the Free ...

Sure. Whatever. Naturalized citizen because the gaping ****hole he came from forced him to immigrate to the nightmare that is this country where he makes awesome money, can talk endless mad crap about it and its citizens, and then act butthurt when called out.
All I was saying, because he himself was whining about G'ingTFO because of Mr. Trump, that he should sack up and do it.
Of course he's not going to do it any more than Cher was going to strap on a rocket dildo and fly to Mars. He's just another bundle of sticks moaning about the US. Get. The. “F”. Over. Yourselves.

Your ancestors, of course, emigrated to the US as an act of charity for the sake of the poor benighted Native Americans?
