Trump Wins and It's Moving Day for a Lot of Celebs

I'm filing this under, I made a list and I'll Be checking it twice.

Prior to the election of Donald Trump, a number of celebrities said they'd move if he was elected.  Of particular note, Cher said she'd go to Jupiter.  Personally, I thought she hasn't been of this planet for years. But, I'm not holding her to her Jupiter promise.  Actually, she's free to move to any planet of her choosing; either in our solar system or elsewhere.  Jon Stewart also stated that he'd be “getting in a rocket and going to another planet".  Maybe he and Cher could share a ride.

My favorite "mover" is Al Sharpton.  He said he'd be “reserving my ticket out of here if [Trump] wins.”  If only I knew that was all it would take to get rid of him I would have promoted "Trump for President" years ago.

Finally, I'm really counting on Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's promise to move to New Zealand.  Then, instead of Trump having one Supreme Court Justice nomination to make, Ginsburg will have given him two; right off the bat.

In all, some 23 celebrities have promised to leave the U.S.A. if Trump wins.  I have heard this all before, and when all is said and done, these people aren't going anywhere.  They all seem to think that by announcing their intentions, millions of Americans will be so impressed that they will vote against the targeted candidate.  As if my life would come to an end if Lena Dunham wasn't here anymore.  They really seem to think that we are, somehow, glued to every word they say and can't live without them.  Talk about inflated egos!

Oh! By the way.  Since Obama has been in office, we have had record numbers of people renouncing their U.S. citizenship.  A record 1380 Americans "renounced" in just the last quarter; alone.  That sure beats 13 lousy celebs that want to leave if Trump wins.
