We've reached Peak Roman Republic: win the election or be prosecuted.

That is a bit worrying.

The Early Roman Empire had some good times. The first couple centuries were arguably the best of ancient rome.

Donald Trump: American Caligula?

Cause he sure ain't no Augustus.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Valmy wants to be sacked by a Celt?

Depends on what sort of Celt. A lame British or Irish Celt? Hell no.

I saw it mentioned somewhere else - when was Trump last in a locker room? :unsure:
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

The weirdest moment of the debate for me had to be when Trump questioned if hacking was even going on at all.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
