Operation Warp Speed was ultimately a microcosm of Trump’s personal failure: an incredibly successful effort he chose not to promote, at the cost of many, many lives….all in the service of retaining his slavish but insane base.

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."

Molly Ivins, dressed in a sort of satin blouse with a neckthing that I'm going to call a scarf?. She's smiling with every cell in her body. Beaming radiantly the joy of being righteous and kind at the same time. Her eyes closed almost to a squint, and every pearly white on display. Gods bless you, Molly, you were a hell of a person.
