I awoke before dawn.
I made some coffee.
I tuned into the Helsinki press conference.
I watched the disaster as it happened.
I recoiled in horror.
I listened in disbelief.
I was shocked and disgusted.
I turned off the television.
I sat silently in shock.
I tried to forget.
I attempted to get some work done.
I reluctantly tuned back in.
I listened to analysis of the debacle.
I was overcome with shame.
I made lunch.
I washed the dishes.
I was visited by old friends.
I tried to forget.
I tried to write this blog.
I attempted to clear my head.
I turned on the television once again.
I couldn't avoid the inevitable.
I watched and quietly wept.
I had to turn it off.
I made dinner.
I drank a lot of wine.
I washed the dishes.
I tuned in for a final review of the day.
I became quite angry and very depressed.
I finally had enough.
I went to bed.
I tried to fall asleep...
And resigned myself to the fact
that today,
my worst nightmare finally came true.
The President of our United States
is nothing but a TRAITOR.
