You are what you eat.
By their fruits you shall know them.
Take this, my body.

What you see is what you get.
Nothing is simpler than that.

Hi Moat.

Tantrums in the night

From a leader with such fright

That he loses sight

if his true true aims

This spoiled brat is lost

Repubs running for cover

From their leader's gaffs

hahahahah

Money is the goal

For this man it is so true

But it just feeds him

But it feeds his fatness

And he needs to feed his psyche

A psyche so frail

Some would feed the fatso

But should we feed this psycho?

.......

Oh Moat, this is all too complicated for me.

hahahahah

An excellent fellow to read

An excellent fellow to read at this time! I would think he belongs on Maiello's thread, too.

I wikied the phrase vox

In reply to Great job Richard.

I wikied the phrase vox populi and I was astounded to see it attributed to William of Malmesbury in the twelfth century. William wrote in the same Latin as was recited in weekly Mass when I was a child.

I had thought it came from Cicero.

I had been familiar with William during my King Arthur phase because he severely criticized The History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth. hahahah

Certainly all dictators feel they represent the voice of the people.

Anyway, thanks for the link and the reference to the Questionnaire!

Great job Richard.

In reply to VOX POPULI

Great job Richard.

Your use of 'vox populi', the mood or beliefs of the people, reminded me of the Klemperer diaries, 1933-45, in the which he constantly tries to discern the vox populi in the Third Reich from his home in Dresden, as the regime goes from victory to calamity.

One quote, from July 1941, when the Nazi tide seemed unstoppable, seems applicable to the Trump regime. That being, who criticized and opposed it, and who did not, will hopefully weigh heavily on their future in politics:

July, 1941 - I am in jail for blackout violation. Local jail.

Questionnaire of the fourth Reich: "when were you imprisoned under the previous government? If not, why?"

It is honorable to be imprisoned now, it will be advantageous to any future character reference.
