Former Congressman McDermott moved to France as a "safe house" from Trump

"Safe house" may be an exaggeration? But Civrac-en-Médoc near Bordeaux looks quite nice. Who can't relax there?

He must be married to a French national or....? How else does one overcome Schengen law of 90 days unless he lives outside of Schengen countries for 90 days?

Former congressman Jim McDermott moved from retirement in Seattle to a new life in a "safe house" in France, and he's encouraging friends back in the U.S. to consider doing the same.

The Washington State Democrat served 28 years in Congress and 14 years in the state legislature, but the 87-year-old traded a comfortable life in a home overlooking Elliott Bay and the Cascade Mountains for a simpler life in a tiny village near Bordeaux – where he feels strangely at home, reported the Washington Post.

“I relaxed for the first time in years," McDermott said. "My shoulders weren’t all bunched up to my ears.”

2. I'll have to look into that. He says his French is terrible..

so fluency isn't required. Pretty gutsy at 87.

We're shipping our camper over in two months for a lengthy stay. We'll have to stop in and have a drink with him.
