I read this on the CNN Website this morning....Steve Bannon told a far-right gathering in France on Saturday that they should handle accusations of racism with pride. "Let them call you racists," Bannon said to the French National Front Party. "Let them call you xenophobes. Let them call you nativists. Wear it as a badge of honor." WHAT. THE. FUCK!

I have thought about relocating to another country too. I'm not sure how realistic it is. After Bush and 2004, I checked into what's involved in relocating to Canada. It's not impossible. If I had more resources, I would probably be making plans based on what happens in the mid-terms.

I also need to make a conscious effort to stay away from the news and focus on things that bring me peace....
