A must-read column: "Having been confronted with unrelenting evidence of who Donald Trump was through three election cycles, a constitutionally sufficient number of Americans chose a narcissistic egomaniac, convicted on multiple felony charges and indicted on many more, whose pathologies were visibly exacerbated by an obvious and increasing senile dementia.I posit that the electorate did not vote for him in spite of all that; they voted for him because of it."

Paging #RFK: “In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation.
