There have been times since Hillary”lost” that I have been beside myself with rage or grief or disbelief or all of them at once. I’m old — there were any number of things I thought were settled law, done and dusted, progress made toward the US becoming a mature society.

I don’t need to go down the whole list, but take for instance the Imperial Presidency. Surely we settled that with Dick Nixon, right? Right? Apparently not.

Maybe this is the emoji I need tonight….
