Raise Hell

Molly Ivins was one of America’s most caustic and beloved political commentators. She was a loud, brash Texan with a knack for a needling phrase and had a long-running syndicated national column.  Ivins was also known as a serious critical force to be reckoned with by her friends and her foes. She was unabashedly progressive, but her main interest was in holding the feet of the powerful to the fire, no matter their political party.
She would have recognized the issues related to presidential abuse of powers that have been clearly delineated in the Mueller report and then resurfaced in much the same way in the whistle blower accusations of threats to Ukraine if they did not dig up dirt on the Bidens.  And people seriously think this is no big deal.  They see themselves as patriotice, while the founding fathers roll in their graves.
