theguardian.com/business/live/…

Bruce McKinnon's famous editorial cartoon.

‘The Fool on the Hill’, an “irresistible, universal" ballad, effectively transposes into pop music a literary theme seen in fairy tales, stories of monarchs prizing their court jester over more learned counsel, and Dostoevsky's novel ‘The Idiot’.

- from Nicholas Schaffner’s book, ‘The Beatles Forever’

@Lazarou
that's why we should handle such people like they did after ww2 ... put them to trial so that their kin see what is going to happen to people going down this path and that they shall not pursue it

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

We are never so ridiculous through what we are as through what we pretend to be.
 
[On n’est jamais si ridicule par les qualités que l’on a que par celles que l’on affecte d’avoir.]

François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶134 (1665-1678) [tr. FitzGibbon (1957)]

Here is a clear-eyed analysis of Trump's surrender to Putin from Zeit Online (headline with Google Translate), better than any coverage in US institutional media. I wish this coverage were translated and opened to US audiences. We need it.


This was a planned #Escalation and they thought, they could #handle and #control #Zelenskyy this Way like they did with Others in the #Past. Control through #Fear and #Intimidation. They were #proofed #wrong about the #Man from #Ukraine. It will take some #Time for a #Fool like Trump to #realize, he and his #shady #JDVance made a #Mistake, but this Time will come.


#AOC: They need him to be a #genius because they cannot handle what it means for them to be tricked by a #fool.


A quotation from Robert Bolt

WOLSEY: You opposed me in the Council this morning, Thomas.
MORE: Yes, Your Grace.
WOLSEY: You were the only one.
MORE: Yes, Your Grace.
WOLSEY: You’re a fool.
MORE: Thank God there is only one fool on the Council.

Donna Trump made all Americans female by decree, because the is the mayonnaise emperor.

He decreed in his new clothes, that your gender is the gender toy had at conception, and "at conception" and for many weeks we are all female, femalecsex structures turn into male much later.

Because these bozos don't know anything.

Fool, she probably didn't want to he America's First Woman President, but Donna did it.

He can’t even come up with original insults.

The “take a big step back…” line is better with Tom Cruise’s delivery in 2008’s Tropic Thunder (and written by Justin Therox, Ben Stiller and Etan Cohen).
