I have never been a US President, nor a Secretary of State. I’ve never even been an assistant undersecretary VP in charge of ANYTHING. And even I know better than to make any official outreach to Taiwan unless I’m TRYING to piss of China

He learns as much as he can about everything, reads exhaustively, and defers to experts when he recognizes a gap in his knowledge.
This makes me want to cry. Hillary Clinton exercises more foreign policy caution getting dressed in the morning than our current President-Elect.
Trump and Pence are like a choose your own dystopia adventure: 1984 or The Handmaiden’s Tale.
Also emphases how just as important it is what you DON’T DO WRONG as much as what you do right, despite the media and the voters’ short attention span and high expectations. There’s never a news article that says “President avoids disastrous misstep again today due to ignorance of cultural or historical context,” but…
You know what, Hillary is wealthy, white and well-connected, barring nuclear war, she’s going to weather the next 4 (of please god not 8) years perfectly fine and I don’t begrudge her one second of it. She’s dedicated her life to public service and all she’s gotten in return is steaming pile after steaming pile of…
She does deserve it, but I doubt she’ll take pleasure from watching Trump fuck everything up.
Basking in her 2.5 million more popular votes.
I like to imagine she’s drinking red wine by the fire with her dogs wrapped up in a cashmere throw. She’s probably all like, WELP WHAT DID YOU MOTHERFUCKERS THINK WOULD HAPPEN? MOAR WINE PLEASE! GOOD DOGGY! She deserves every ounce of schadenfreude she may be experiencing right now.
I feel like the sticker should have the picture below and read:
I want to make confetti with that statement and dump it on the electoral college.
She could have been president.
A few years ago, maybe 2013 or 14, Secretary Hillary Clinton came to my work (not Wall Street, tech company) for a fireside chat and to promote her book. She talked at length about her experience as SOS, and one thing she discussed was how much “small offenses” matter to so many leaders and countries around the world,…
Cool story, Lena. Hope your Oppression Olympics Thanksgiving comes with medals tonight.
The Pence email article earlier had people bringing up how karmic it would be if the Trump Administrations first scandal was email related. Personally, I’m hoping it is revelations that Melania is just going through intern/staffer dick. Complete emasculation and bring that projection theory around full circle to the…
In my fantasy of what happened to the Trumps after the election, Erik admitted his secret love for one of the hotel maids - who happened to be undocumented (and 43, short, and chubby) and they ran off together to make documentary films about immigrants and muslims.
Yeah me too. Ill read transcripts if need be. I don’t even want to say his name.
For some reason my favourite thing about that photo of Hillary with that woman in the woods was the realisation that Bill must be the one taking the photo. I bet that happens to him all the time now, haha
No. Because if I watch that equals higher ratings and that just emboldens him. I’m going to do everything I can to avoid him and any media outlet that doesn’t hold him and his henchmen’s feet over the fires. His ego is a big weak spot.
Pillow fort is one of the few words that has made me smile since Wednesday. ❤️ My favorite image is of Hillary walking in the woods. She’s my hero now. Dare I hope she’s genuinely as happy as the looks on that walk?
