Overnight News: “Mister, we could use a man like Sulla again…”

The chanboys finally got around to Caesar and his Rubicon, but Augustus has seemed more apt to me. By now my Overton Window extends to Lucius Cornelius Sulla – a surgical and at least temporarily-restorative blitz. But: As before, as always, we won’t be safe until Marxism is purged as Naziism was – a task Sulla definitely could have handled.

An easy bet from here is that Trump is retiring slowly. Or it could be there is a deviously-disguised Master Plan after all. Or it could be that the hope of all of Western Civilization rests on the Incandescent need of a completely middle-class guy from Queens to be the fifth bust on Mount Everest.

Fun for me, at a remove from the drama and its consequences, that I still can’t tell for sure.
