Beware on January 20, 2025, says Bill Maher

2021-11-18 16:25:56+00:00

He’s right, but he can’t help showing his smug privilege by adding:

What happens then? That’s when I want to be on vacation in London.

Sure, sit across the ocean watching the U.S. sink into civil war and yell “I told you so” at the TV. Also, keep deluding yourself that Boris’ Brexitland will be much better, assuming they let you overstay your tourist visa.

keithe: keithe: At least he is being honest about being out of the country. I can guarantee execs at NBC, the NY Times and other media companies are already forming bugout plans for themselves and their families, but none of them will let those calculations change the way they are putting their thumbs on the scale for the GOP.

I’m not so sure. A lot of American executives operate under the delusion that they’ll be spared the worst no matter who wins, certainly to the point where they’re not putting in the non-trivial long-game groundwork for a real escape plan for them, their families, and their finances (which involves more than being on vacation during a particular few weeks).
