CincyDem

12. So I'm sitting out on a beach lounger up on a deck from before sunrise...no phone...nothing...

...all of a sudden people are running up from the beach, carrying (dragging in some cases) kids. It's like 8am local time or something like that, I'm 2/3rds asleep and I'm thinking tsunami (?), shark (?).

Some guy is standing on the wall looking out over the beach working his phone so I walk over to him and ask what's going on.

In a few seconds, he looks at me like he's seen a ghost and screams (I'm like 2 feet away), he screams "Oh my god, NK has launched nukes at us...they'll be here in 15 minutes". and with that he jumps off the wall and starts sprinting to the hotel at a speed no man of his size should move.

So I stood there for a while, contemplated my existence and decided that if this chit is really hitting the fan, I should probably be with the boss so I went up to find Ms. CincyDem and we headed down to the ballroom with everyone else. It was a zoo. There were more grandmas in their nightgowns than you can shake a stick at. And the crying. Calling is a zoo is kind.

What I remember most about that day was that 3-4 years ago, with BHO we would have said "meh - operator error" and gone on with our morning. With DJT we said "ya know - he just might have f'cked this up to the point of nuclear war"...then we went on with our day.
