I had the news on about the treason-summit and was in the bedroom folding some clothes, cleaning and all that.
I'll never forget today for the rest of my life.

(6,137 posts)only two weeks ago we all thought that toddlers in cages, baby jails was the lowest point of his presidency. He managed to surprise us and outdid himself today. It may be hard to imagine right now but I bet hell surprise us again with another even lower point.

(90,202 posts)As with 9-11, I was still sleeping. That day my daughter called me from her workplace and ordered me to turn in CNN. After awhile I went out into the front yard to get the newspaper, still clad in my fuzzy pink bathrobe. I saw my neighbor across the street and called out to her that we had been attacked.
Today a friend called me to in essence cry on my shoulder -- altho maybe ranting might be a better description. I turned on MSNBC and muted it. After nearly an hour she rang off and I turned on the sound. Stephanie Ruhl was in full cry, God bless her.
On 9-11 I was still capable of shock. Today I am benumbed.
July 16, 2018, a day that will live in infamy.
Who did I call? One of my oldest friends, who lives on the other coast. I left a voicemail message: "Was just watching the Trump-Putin press conference. Just wanted to hear the sound of your voice." To my surprise, my voice shook a little.
