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.

    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”
