I had a colleague say that she didn't know who Steve Bannon was. I let another colleague gently (and accurately) explain who he is, and did not leap a cubicle wall frothing at the mouth. I get a gold star, right?

What I would give for a time machine with a 6 month range. But how exactly to wield it? Hm.

With a bit more range you could go back to Hillary starting at the State Department and tell her that carrying two phones will be worth the bother.

No. If it wasn't the emails, it would have been something else. Because it was never about the emails. It was always about rampant, virulent misogyny.

I want this shouted from rooftops. It would always have been something. And the hypocrisy we see now over private servers, private accounts, unsecured android to post to twitter ALL point to this.

If I could time travel and stop time, I'd take figure out how to neutralize and discredit Bannon in some horrible public humiliation (ball gag, sexually explicit, something extremely public where he looks like a cuck).

Ok, so I guess my main two things are actually Trump and Putin and lack of a time machine back to Nov 7th?
This is me.

It's heartbreaking to me that I believed -- deeply, without doubt -- that this was not the case pre-election.

Oh, me too. I had NO idea the depths of misogyny that are really out there. I feel so stupid. And I feel so stupid for believing that it was going to happen, that we were going to get a female president, one who deserved to be in the Oval Office more than possibly any other candidate in history.
Looking back now, I'm amazed at how naive I was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That one.
I know this is the least of our problems and we go high and everything else, but how the fuck does Bannon get a high-level White House job looking like that??
