It’s the afternoon of Wednesday, Nov. 9. We are at the New Yorker Hotel and Hillary has just finished her concession speech. I decide to just nod and smile wistfully when supporters and reporters, men and women alike, laud Hillary’s concession speech. “Where was ‘this Hillary’ during the campaign?” they would lament. “Why didn’t we see this side of her when it mattered?”
Yes, I am sure you loved her concession speech, I thought to myself. Because that’s what you think is acceptable for a woman to do — concede.
Every single person who worked on Hillary’s campaign can hold their heads high, as far as I’m concerned. It was a good, strong campaign under relentless attack by multiple bad actors. And she received 3 million more votes and probably won the EC as well. Those who say otherwise are deflecting blame from themselves. We see them.

I saw that John Bolton does not become NSA until April 9th which happens to be my birthday. Gee, what a swell birthday present! 😲
I am concerned about Rachel Maddow. Her Trump Departures chart is startng to take over her studio. It’s like slime.
