Yesterday, Hillary Clinton made her first public appearance since the day after the election:

Hillary hasn’t looked this dour since being told that her basement server became self-aware after Anthony Weiner borrowed Huma’s laptop:

Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that in the week since her stunning electoral loss, there have been times when she’s wanted to hole up at home and “never leave the house again.”

But she urged her supporters to stay engaged and fight for the values that propelled her campaign.

“I will admit, coming here tonight wasn’t the easiest thing for me,” she said to the audience at a gala for the Children’s Defense Fund. “There have been a few times this past week where all I wanted to do was just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again.”

Meanwhile, in a show of unity, Hillary has said that once Trump picks a secretary of state, she will send her maid to brief that person on classified information related to the running of the State Department.

Also, if you’re looking for a Christmas gift that might send your Hillary-supporting relative running to the therapy dogs, “Stronger Together” merchandise is on sale at deep discounts.
