Trump and Co. are like Sam and Frodo crawling up the mountain.
Q is Gandalf.
Our military are the eagles.

“I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam.”

“For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

“In this hour, I do not believe that any darkness will endure.”

“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.

“Out of doubt, out of dark to the day’s rising
I came singing into the sun, sword unsheathing.
To hope’s end I rode and to heart’s breaking:
Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall! ”

Beautiful. Made my hair stand on end.

Such beautiful words, full of truth:

the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

“In this hour, I do not believe that any darkness will endure.”

a sword age, a spear age, before the worlds Ruin!”

Lets hope we can hold off onthe Midgard Serpent and Kraken just a bit longer!
