Rachel: This is a national security crisis.

Usually, we look to the president to resolve this, but the subject is that man.

Who will step up? We shall see.

A national security crisis with no precedent. If rethugs don't get on board, we have a bigger problem.

GOTV!!!

More on that in the prior thread on the Manafort case.

Rachel [whisper like] 'could Manafort be changing his pleas?' Or, I add, that something big happened, perhaps in the arrest of the Russia-NRA connection agent, that impacts Manafort case, or more.

Rachel was more excited tonight.

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.
