...prolly already been done back in the 90’s when Slick was away.
You are making some assumptions. I have read first hand reports of Bill and Hill sharing young women. These are remarkably foul people. “The return of Caligula” is a fitting title for the Hillary presidency.
“Look what happened to the republic. I think the comparison is very apt, and that’s what worries me.”
Agree. We’re witnessing the fall of our Republic, which is sad but also very historic; remember life was still glorious for 2 hundred years in Rome after the fall of the Republic.
” While Trump is clearly preferable to the criminal Clintons, I am not confident about his commitment to constitutional principles. “
Totally agree. But I am confident in Trump’s commitment to the preservation of the American quality of life, whatever the details.
Hillary believes in our Decline.
I don’t know if I’d call Brutus, Cassius, et al, good guys. They were no doubt motivated as much by thwarted personal ambition (as long as Caesar was there, they wouldn’t have their turn as the leading Roman) as they were for the republican ways and values Caesar was either destroying, or at least continuing a process of destruction that began before Caesar.
Whatever the case, it’s an intriguing what-if had Caesar lived to carry out the Dacian and Parthian wars he was days from leaving Rome for when the Ides struck. The latter is especially intriguing; if Caesar had succeeded, and if his plans were more along the lines of permanent conquest of Parthia’s western lands, rather than a military victory and punitive terms enforced on the Parthians, who knows how history might have unfolded with a more Westernized Middle East? Perhaps Trajan’s war against Parthia proved that a lasting conquest was beyond Rome’s power, but then again, even Trajan was no Caesar on the battlefield.
We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Our "posterity," of course, are our lineal descendants. A purpose that is 100% consistent with Donald Trump's call to put America First. It is 100% consistent with the Fifth Commandment, and traditional Western values, in general. Mrs. Clinton's call for open borders, and the failure to properly vet immigrants from lands with very different value systems, is 100% inconsistent with the Constitutional purpose.
How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump, who not only understands & accepts what the Constitution requires. He strenuously exposes Mrs. Clinton on issue after issue!
Trump is willing to risk a lifetime of success--his whole career & fortune--to take on a corrupt media, that tries in every unfair, intellectually dishonest, way to cover up Mrs. Clinton's crimes and repeated acts of betrayal, in order to stand for us, our Constitution and our clear interests, on a host of vital issues. Consider:
1. Trump supports and has been endorsed by the border guards. Mrs. Clinton has shown only disdain for those trying to keep America safe from a flood of unauthorized invaders.
2. Trump supports the rights of Americans to efficiently arm themselves, both for their own protection and for the protection of America! Mrs. Clinton has repeatedly sought means to disarm American families.
3. Trump has supported local Police in violent confrontations with neighborhood thugs; while Mrs. Clinton & Obama have allied themselves with virulently anti Police groups--some funded by George Soros--groups determined to deny their law abiding neighbors, the Police protection, necessary to make those neighborhoods safe.
4. Trump understands that making any neighborhood safe, is the key to increasing constructive activity in such neighborhood;--the key to people being able to start local businesses, with some hope of success; the key to better job opportunities, better credit ratings, etc. Mrs. Clinton has shown herself more intent on encouraging and supporting those Soros funded groups.
5. Donald Trump supports all forms of American energy production! He wants to let the coal miners get back to work; to take advantage of improved technology that allows a cleaner use of coal. Mrs. Clinton has insulted the coal miners, by refusing to help them get back to work, while she patronizes them; offering them a new dependence on even more Governmental meddling.
6. Returning to the Constitution--the solemn compact (or contract) that authorizes us to even have a Federal Government;--the charter, that once--when truly honored--made us the envy of the earth:
Donald Trump has pledged to appoint only those who honor the clear intent of that charter, to the Federal Judiciary. Mrs. Clinton has promised to only appoint Judges who agree with her ghoulish view of Feminist issues: such as the idea that it is O.K. for a woman--on mere whim--to have a healthy, already half born baby, killed in cold blood, in something euphemistically labeled a "partial birth abortion!"
7. Donald Trump, daily addresses great rallies, to discuss these and other vital issues; such as the damage to American workers & communities, resulting from trade deals, and immigration policies, that do not protect our rooted population. Mrs. Clinton has avoided in depth discussion of issues; preferring, instead, an incessant attack on Donald Trump's personality; his tone; his supporters;--in each case misrepresenting the same by a combination of lies, cherry picked but misleading data, gross exaggerations, and citations of spurious media smears, engineered by a slavish press, which covers up actual crimes, in a blind, but determined, support for the perpetrator.
Under such circumstances: How can any American vote for Mrs. Clinton? How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump?
Note further: There are thousands of organizations, some Faith based (both evangelical & social); some secular, but ideological; some based on Humanist arrogance (Return To Babel). Among them there is something to represent just about any imagined human interest. Our written Constitution is the sole organizational effort focused solely on the interests of the rooted American. How dare any American betray or trivialize our organization; the Constitutional Republic, as it was intended by the Fathers, who won it for their posterity?! How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump?
May the living God Bless all those who understand what is truly at stake!

Actually, if any one person killed "the floundering republic", it would be Sulla, not Caesar.
Sulla's ended the republic, in spite of reforms he thought would save it, because he made it clear the military (and hence the wealthy generals whose legions were loyal to them, not to the Republic) was in charge of Rome.
As Pompey is quoted as saying, "If Sulla could, why can't I", and don't forget that Pompey was one of Caesar's backers who made it possible for Caesar to become powerful enough to seize power.
All Caesar did was openly shatter the illusion of a republic the wealthy depended on to hide fact that the republic had been dead as anything except an elaborate hoax for quite a while.
Trump may or may not be Sulla although I personally believe he's a lot more like Tiberius Gracchus, but he's no Julius Caesar.
Caesar was one of the bad guys, not "THE", bad guy and one of "the bad guys" was going to do pretty much the same as he did within at best a decade.
Without a doubt, though, he'd have never gotten the chance to be such a "bad guy" had it not been for Pompey. By the time Caesar made his move, the question boils down to whether or not Pompey would have been any better and whether Octavian would have risen to the top if Pompey rather than Caesar had struck first.
The "great man" theory points to individuals when reality points to the powerful and wealthy who back individuals willing to do their bidding. That the backers sometimes, or often, lose control of those they back doesn't change the fact that without their efforts those individuals wouldn't rise to the level where their becoming independent actors alters history.
“The die is cast”
- Julius Caesar, January 10, 49 BC
As Caesar and his army crossed the Rubicon river into Northern Italy, he is said to have made this statement. From what I’ve seen of Caesar in his writings and those of his contemporaries, it was probably as scripted as Hillary’s statements. Caesar was big on PR. The difference is that Caesar loved his country and his people, and they loved him - Hillary’s exact opposite.
If Trump takes that step, and the die is cast, I will stand on the side of freedom and of the Constitution of the United States of America. I hope that side will be the majority, but even if it’s just 3%, that can be enough. I expect the next decade to get very ugly, possibly as soon as three weeks from tomorrow, but certainly within eight years and a month. I pray that I’m wrong.
