My heart breaks

I'm not watching the inauguration, but I saw this posted on Facebook. Her expression says everything to me.
My heart breaks, not just for Hillary but for our country. Instead of a fine, exceptionally prepared president, we have an unstable, FSB asset entering the White House.

who knows more about foreign policy than any 25 republicans combined.

Who wants a woman who dedicated her life to helping others.

Who wants a woman who would have improved every facet of life, boring.

The election was a sham and this "president" is illegitimate. I wish the Clintons had not attended; in fact, no Dems should have been there. It's honoring or giving respect to something fraudulent and deceitful and that has been undemocratic.

Watching the orange man-toddler take the oath would have been sickening.

But seeing Hillary there ... now that would have really really hurt. Through all this she has displayed such touching grace and dignity.

Now, seeing this photo, the look on her face, is too much to bear. But thanks for posting it.

I don't know when I'll be able to watch it again. I may just stick with print journalism for a few years.
