Germany's tortured past makes it wary of adopting Alt Right solutions.

I always felt like it was visiting a favorite aunt. Germany is a wonderful country too. You may encounter someone who insists that you WILL have weisswurst and you will like it, but that was only one case in many positive encounters. Now, if they will just accept us as political refugees.

in Canada. That is not stopping a few conservative leadership candidates from trying to build up the Trump coalition here. The bad news for them is we don't have an electoral college here so Hillary would have won in canada.

If it gets to be too much stop by any time.

We also never got to Hawaii. I lost my husband a few ago. My best friend and I may venture up there. She wants to see a glacier and I told her about the Icefields Parkway and the Columbia Icefield. I want to see where the toe is now. I look forward to coming back (just make sure I have no fresh fruit or veggies).

A majority shows up to the polls for Clinton. Look at all of the beautiful marches today. We're still here fighting to keep this guy in check. Trump is only a temporary resident.
