Escape from ...

Theatrical release poster

Snake Plissken lives! Great cast, terrific action and awesome script, the Escape from New York crew  gets into it when NYC becomes the ultimate max prison colony for the ages, complete with the central  plot of getting the president  (Donald Pleasance) out of dodge from a city that's truly lost it's way. The reason for this segue centers on the fact Agent Orange could yet again become president, a notion both terrifying and extraordinary considering just how insane and corrupt this man truly is. With this in mind, an escape from America may be in the cards as quite frankly, the survival of democracy comes into play if The Donald succeeds in becoming POTUS yet again.

It has become the topic of the season at Washington dinner parties and receptions. Where would you go if it really happens?

Portugal, says a former member of Congress. Australia, says a former agency director. Canada, says a Biden administration official. France, says a liberal columnist. Poland, says a former investigator.

They’re joking. Sort of. At least in most cases. It’s a gallows humor with a dark edge. Much of official Washington is bracing for the possibility that former President Donald J. Trump really could return — this time with “retribution” as his avowed mission, the discussion is where people might go into a sort of self-imposed exile.

Canada's looking better all the time ...
