over time, the less pleasure she has taken from them.

I don't think it is bitterness or regret - just an indication of how seriously bad the times have become.

I give her a lot of credit for making public appearances - since the questions have got to be relentless. She made this appearance for Chelsea to promote their book, but of course we all knew what was coming, everyone everywhere wants to ask her take on what's going on.

They couldn't take a few minutes to look up who Hillary was. Fucking idiots.

It really is crazy that they can see what so many Americans can't. Last month I got together with old friends from my days at summer camp - and I'm happy to say that we all feel the same way since of course the subject came up. And that includes a couple who are favorites of mine - and they're French Canadian from Quebec. They're as informed and anti Trump as anyone there, so Americans have no excuse.

...whatshould have been.

I give HRC a lot of credit for not just crawling into a hole and disappearing after the travesty of November 2016. Talk about a gutsy woman!

And the timing was perfect - I know they were there to promote their book, but Colbert couldn't help but ask some serious questions! And she graciously answered them as only she could...

That's exactly why I post these! I agree it was a great interview - and Colbert is always thrilled to have her on his show, but especially right now!

I think she could have talked an hour and still have been informative.

She knows her stuff.
