Mary Renault’s The Last of the Wine (1956) is about growing up Athenian, so fighting tyrants & oligarchs, spartans & persians. But as ancient historians often point out we must be careful with contemporary parallels with the past.

And he might use everyone but those closest to him the worst - except brown people.. he clearly takes pleasure in sadism and power tripping people, but #Trump isnt totally humourless except for sadism, like some other authoritarian leaders. Im still not going to watch the #SOTU though 😆

Did Americans vote for #Trump because of their perceptions of his leadership?
Trump is not able to fit other human beings into his worldview because there is only room for him. Thats why he wants to put his name on things like a small child....

It does matter that they hate women though. Hating half the population isnt really electorally appealing.. and Paul Keating said they were a bunch of vested interests in search of a policy, we can add leader to that as Houstons time wont be long.

It doesnt matter which one of the useless, self-important idlers, is the leader.

I dont think #Trump is gay, but to paraphrase Gore Vidal 😃, #Epstein and Trump, the Caesars, given the freedom, or power to despoil, they will do so. There is not neccesarily any fixed pattern to their sexual activities.

But this is a serial true crime series now, like the OJ trial, its not the movie about the #Trump presidency.
Even people who think politics are boring are interested.

Bondi clearly has had no rational counsel from someone NOT a #Trump loyalist.
And she is a fool if she thinks Trump hasnt already started to doubt her loyalty despite her testimony.

But Bondi did not sound unhinged.
Although she did sound like she was in a fight for her life. But its a fight in which #Trump tied both hands behind her back.
So her only weapon is a burn book and a bad attitude.

How do we produce, distribute & reinvest surplus? These questions address operative differences between capitalism, socialism & fuedalism. So, contrary to Cass, financialisation is, either not capitalism or capitalism is irrevocably irrational & self destructive.
