All Talk And No Action

Remember when the big-mouthed star Lena Dunham vowed to move to Canada if Trump were elected.

'I know a lovely place in Vancouver, and I can get my work done from there,' she said at the event, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will.'

It doesn't sound like a throw away line to me. But, it appears that it was. She's staying put.

'It’s easy to joke about moving to Canada,' the Emmy-nominated star said. 'It’s harder to see, and to love, the people who fill your mailbox with hate. It’s harder to see what needs to be done and do it. 'It’s harder to live, fully and painfully aware of the injustice surrounding us, to cherish and fear your country all at once.

One less thing to be thankful for today.
