This reminds of something: In 249 BC the romans were battling Carthago, as tradition the romans offered some chickens some grains. If the chicken ate the grain the romans would win, if they refused the romans would lose. The chickens refused to eat. This annoyed the roman general Publius Claudius Pulcher who threw the chickens overboard while saying "Bibant, quoniam esse nolunt" ("Let them drink, since they don't wish to eat").

People believe they want justice and wise government but, in fact, what they really want is an assurance that tomorrow will be very much like today.

Trump hung that sign up the day he became president, and it hung over that bar every day until he took it down a little over two years ago. Know why he took it down? He started letting in dogs. Now Trump like just about everybody, but he sure don't like Mexicans or Muslims.

It's would be better than what Marie Antoinette actually did, which was pissing away the money on gambling and a village where she could cosplay as a poor peasant.
