Paul Revere by Cyrus Dallin, North End, Boston

General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

And on this Friday night...



after a tumultuous and what will be historic week in #45's administration, we should think about this passage from Shakespeare's Macbeth (via Eliot A. Cohen, The Atlantic):


Those he commands move only in command, 

  Nothing in love. Now does he feel his title 

  Hang loose about him, like a giant’s robe 

  Upon a dwarfish thief."


Read the rest of this magnificent piece on the inevitable and ignominious end to Trump and his presidency.

Very nice. Thanks for that.

Live to be the show and gaze o’ th’ time.

We’ll have thee, as our rarer monsters are,

Painted upon a pole, and underwrit

“Here may you see the tyrant”
