2. I still cry sometimes, just for a second, knowing that she would be working FOR us

I am so angry at the people who acted like those MF emails were worse than 'grabbing us by the pussy'. So pissed. Now we are all getting grabbed, every one of us.

I still say 'third time's a charm!', hoping it happens.

It almost killed me, I caught three infections. I only survived because I dragged my ass to emergency. I swear the instant depression made me catch every bug going around.

I eventually dragged myself to therapy, where the therapist completely brushed off my feelings about the election and kept trying to get me to talk about other things she thought were more important than "just an election." I mean, where do you go for support when you're drowning in grief over something everyone around you thinks you should just get over?

15. I hear you. I haven't sought out help, but I could if. The rug was pulled out beneath us.

Everything we knew to be an absolute truth and constant was just ripped up.

It's fucking scary. Not shame in acknowledging that. In fact, I think it has to be acknowledge in order to fight another day.

was probably telling Bill they needed to go out to Queens.

The Secret Service said not only NO, but HELL NO.

Meanwhile, Hillary was looking around the house for a disguise for the both of them so they could blend in with the crowd and the Secret Service was still saying not only NO, but HELL NO. Doesn't matter how good the disguise...they will still be recognized.

She continued to stomp around the house saying: I want to do something.

I honestly don't think she will be quiet much longer.

I do understand why she has remained silent thus fur. It gives those fuckers someone to blame and twist the narrative.

14. Barack, Michelle, Bill, Hillary, Joe B and John Kerry are all attorneys.

A flat out unconstitutional Executive Order has got to absolutely infuriate them, never mind the way it was rolled out without warning.

I am certain they all will have much to say about his legal chaos.

I would also assume that they are already talking to each other out of frustration and because of their shared experiences in government.

12. Even her worst detractors have to admit she would not have done this.

This has been the worst first week of a presidency I can remember. And Hillary would not dream of pulling a stunt like this Muslim ban. I hope people are realizing their blase' attitude, doesn't matter, he's no worse than she is, etc. Is coming home to roost. OK, maybe you don't like Hillary, but it has to be dawning on people that she has at least a shred of human decency, and Trump doesn't even understand what it means to be human. If any Trump voters want to debate me, that's what I will propose to them. Depending on their answers, I may never speak to them.

The demagogues and the Deplorables and 25 years of scorched-earth RW propaganda had rendered the country virtually ungovernable by then.

I can think of nobody better than HRC to have struggled to save the foundering ship of state, but I wonder now if it was already too late.
