racer212 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) My female cousin lives in Irvine CA - her father is Irish so she too is an Irish citizen. Couple months ago the parents announced they were moving back to Ireland. For reasons I cannot imagine cousin announced Friday night that she quit her job and is going with the parents - probably not to return. One of the details she seems to have forgotten is her truck. 2016 F-150 Supercab 2x4 with 3.6L EcoBoost. 37k Miles. Maroon red, XLT package. Guaranteed flawless. She he needs to sell it by end of day Tuesday. She’s got an appointment with Carmax Tuesday, however if someone was ready to move fast they could could probably buy it really right. KBB is 31k, NADA 29,500. She would probably sell it for 27 or a bit under rather than go to Carmax...

IcePrick Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hope she did okay on it. Rushed sales are rarely good for the seller, and sometimes not so good for the buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer212 Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 It wasn't. She sold to CarMax for $22500. Her fault for the failure to plan. She pretty well owned it outright and isn't planning to come back to the states so... Both her and her mom cited Trump as one of the big reasons they are leaving the US so I guess it does happen...

superhawk996 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 That's about the price range I was guessing they'd offer. Lots of famous people said they'd leave, none did AFAIK. It would be interesting to know how many actually have left because of Trump, and previous presidents, even if the president was only a partial motivator.

I wonder what it was that made them leave? The consistently improving unemployment numbers? The steadily rising economy? The the evidence that aggressive anti-US foreign dictatorships are begrudgingly reaquainting themselves with respect, moderation, and diplomacy on the international stage? Could it be the attempts to prevent the US from going down the same failed path the EU is stuck on in regards to immigration? Maybe it was the protecting and defending of the Constitution that pushed them over the edge? 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shes a Professor at UC Irvine so I'm not surprised shes leaving though. My cousin on the other hand - she is a great kid who used to have a pretty level head and you could have reasonable discussions with even tough she leaned left. I fear she is following her moms path though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was attempting to find a reason why someone would leave the country over what is unquestionably a temporary political figure. I presented those examples as a sarcastic counterpoint to highlight that I am unaware of anything perpetrated by President Trump so aggregious as to make a sane, logical person flee the most free country in the world. If you have some examples to support an alternative argument, you're free to present them, or contradict my exemplars. Otherwise, it sounds like another whining liberal casting broad, nonspecific allegations because they don't like the man in the White House for reasons they may not even have yet realized or admitted to themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBLXX Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 A one sided right winger would feel that way. It's all good Kardashians are on and I believe they are going to tell Drump to pardon some of the MS13 leadership. I'll get back to you on some of the items listed on the side of the coin.

The Krypt Keeper Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 What is one sided is all those screaming at trump for all he has exposed wrong with DC. He is nuttier than squirrel turds but is clearly showing those who pay attention how currupt and fucked over the American people have been for decades. Or Could just have Hillary and continue down the same path. Sorry your family left Scott. If all they can do is pack up and leave because of what has happened and shown wrong with DC business as usual.. Good riddance, America first, your feelings second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people have resigned themselves to DC being full of liars and cheats. I'm not condoning it, but I fear it's a permanent reality. It's a shame, but who has the time or power to do anything but complain? It's rare to find a ballot choice without some filth, and even if there was one, they don't have a lot of unpolluted choices for staff. Even the few good ones can be corrupted. If the choices are only between liars and cheats or liars and cheats with a good economy, lower taxes, lower unemployment, etc., I don't know why I wouldn't choose the latter. There may be some logical reasons why someone would leave the country because of the president... someone with strong socialist values not seeing movement in the direction they wish, illegal aliens in fear of new enforcement measures who decide to just self-deport on their own terms, probably a few others that I haven't considered. Those are two that a change of country might rectify. I just can't think of many reasons to leave the US wherein an alternative flag would be a marked improvement as opposed to waiting out the current administration.

I'm not sure where you get that impression. Certainly an element, but I think Trump was hired more because he wasn't Hillary than anything else. I think the electorate was willing to try something - anything - different than the usual politicians. We've had the discussion about picking the least worst candidate before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
