very, very pissed off & redfaced with anger!😡

I couldn't cry-- just went into a catatonic state

And with all the casual, tweet-y, nuking-up talk (AND the spinning and excuse-making of the Steve Cortes/Jodyanne Jerkmeoff crowd) now is confirming some of my worst fears.

I remember when we had an army of spinmeisters jumping onstage at every turn, "interpreting" what the so-called President said - "what I think he's saying" or "I think what he really meant was..." Shit. We had that with both the fucking dim-bulbs reagan and dubya. And I'm not fully convinced that either of them fully knew or understood what THEY were saying. Maybe reagan a little bit, but he came from the "Real" World of Pretend, Hollywood. He'd been brought up in an environment where the guy in the white hat always won. As for dubya, he was just hopeless. And he had cheney's hand up his back, moving the levers of his mouth so he'd say whatever cheney wanted.

This one was a test for America. Do you vote with your head, or with your gut? Your reasoning or your mad-on. You lead with cool rationality or hot-headed reactivity? Do you know anything about thinking before you speak, or looking before you leap? Or do you just lash out and figure everything will somehow magically, incredibly, simply sort-itself-out-somehow?

And this was an EPIC fail, America. You led with your anger. The only head-over-heart decision you made was with your lizard-brain.You threw a real good temper tantrum there. Broke everything on Aisle 5. And Aisle 4. And Aisle 6. Actually, you left the entire store in shambles. Oh - but NOW you're starting to get hungry and you barely even realize that you just ruined everything in the supermarket, and all the foodstuffs are rotting or covered with fly larvae, or they're in smears all over the floor amidst a lot of broken glass jars - that is, whatever the looters and other opportunists didn't already steal. Happy NOW?

Oh, but just wait! He's not even "president" yet. The "best" is yet to come! Cuz only HE can fix it, remember?

Oh, and one more thing. Plunging the United States into a nuclear arms race costs obscene bundles of billions of dollars. Even a trillion or two (or TWENTY-two. Or MORE). A very convenient way to plead poverty on all the social programs (and have to cut 'em way back or eliminate them entirely cuz they cost too much), 'eh? And, um, weren't you the ones sitting out there at the teabagger protests holding up signs saying "Don't Touch My Medicare"?

Thank you.

I hope she and Bill can put all of this behind them and just be happy for the rest of their lives. Not that it would ever happen, but I'd love to take them on a hike with me in the mountains someday where they could just immerse themselves in nature and get away from it all.

Played on an acoustic guitar. It was...

Brewer and Shipley!

One toke over the line, sweet mtnsnake, one toke over the line... hiking the trail with bill and hill clinton, one toke over the line....

I'm with her.

I'm STILL with her. As are almost three million MORE Americans than fell for The Donald.

How long do you think it'll be before some of those dumb-asses finally wake up? How long do you think it'll be before we'll start seeing inklings of a "come to Hillary" moment, where at least a few of 'em start letting a few tiny little second thoughts see the light of day? Most of 'em, no. But I'll bet in muted conversations around a future Thanksgiving table or some such, you'll start hearing a few begrudging mea culpas. Maybe after they've watched their Medicare get cut, radically (or disappear entirely), with all the ensuing excuses about how we have to build up our military and everything else just has to get starved because we have to use every extra penny on building up the nuclear arms race. "Well, I dunno.. I guess maybe I shoulda voted for Hillary..."

And how many times will we hear choruses of "we WARNED you! We tried And TRIED to warn you!"

Then again, though, the one thing most people Hate-Hate-Hate to do is to admit they were wrong. Or worse, admit they've been HAD.

This.


I find myself running out of words of my own.

A touch of persistent catatonia, I guess.

I agree with every word.

Thanks for sharing, Nancy~

a case of nausea every morning. I'm thankful I'm old and not looking to make my future/career... but ten again, I went through exactly that when I graduated w/master's degree just 30 days prior to Sept. 11, 2001 so... I have yet to recover from that mess both professionally and monetarily, doubt I ever will at this point.

It was WJC's election that made it possible for me to stay in college once I got in and helped me decide what career path I was going to take only to have it demolished in moment along with and just like the Trade center towers after a decade of school.

I totally agree,I too appreciate her so much for standing up against a bully,I will miss her so much

Beautifully said. Thank you for posting.

by not having her as our president.

You are my president until 2020. You won the presidency by 3,000,000 votes. Thank you for running what probably will be the last, civil campaign this country will ever see and thank you for all your years of service.

Thank you for posting it, Nancy.

breaks my heart she's not President elect right now. I would not be under as much stress and fear right now

Thank you, Madam President-in-Exile.

1. We owe elected officials nothing.

2. Hillary said, "let's give him a chance."

Thanks for what? Normalizing Trump on her way out?

Thanks for nothing.

I'm still crying over what this country missed. As far as I'm concerned, Hillary Clinton is Madam President. Dump will NEVER be my president.

And I will be saying that for 4 years, much to the chagrin of others.
