Good idea and I’m all for it, but has that ever been done before? A sitting president investigating his successor’s cabinet appointees? Frankly, I wish Biden would stretch that “immunity for official acts” comedy routine to the limits, Or does that insane ruling just apply to Trump?

In my case it was a German passport. My parents and grandparents lost their citizenship during Nazi times. A German passport is good in all EU countries.

Citizenship is important because you don’t wanna have to leave the country every six months or whatever their visa policy is. Who knows what kind of crap Trump is going to do to citizens who want to come back into the United States.

Taxes are pretty high in Europe. You can get your Social Security, but you can’t get Medicare. I’d go for Ireland. Italy is nice, but they’re going fascist too..

I’m a pessimist. I got an EU passport in January 2017 when the asshole was inaugurated. Jews can smell a tyrant a mile away. It’s a talent we have developed over the centuries.
