Let’s Be Careful Out There, Peeps

Feeling a bit stabby today are we? stabby coldframe

Perfectly understandable, it is the Ides of March after all. On this day in 44 BC Caesar was assassinated on the steps of the Roman Senate by a coalition of friends and foe. Here we are, nearly 2100 years later, and nobody’s learned nuthin’. Following the Left’s virtual stabbing of President Trump we find ourselves in a situation not dissimilar to Rome’s:

The men who murdered Caesar considered themselves as “liberators” of the republic. Whatever may have been their motives, they seem to have taken little thought as to how Rome would be governed after they had killed their tyrant. If they thought that the senate would take up the powers it had lost, and successfully rule the republic, they were grievously mistaken. The only leading man of the senate who had survived the last civil war was Cicero; but Cicero with all his learning and eloquence could not take the place of Caesar. What Rome needed was what the liberators had taken from her, a master mind of broad views and of great executive power. We need not be surprised that the death of Caesar was followed by confusion and dismay.

Yesterday’s Twitter free-for-all rumor about the Cootie stimulus checks going out under President Trump’s signature rather than President Place Holder Biden’s -

trump signature on checks

while not true, illustrates a certain level of disfunction never-the-less. I for one am sorry it’s only half true (Biden’s name won’t be on the checks, but neither will Trump’s) because it would have given weight to the theory that Donald Trump really is the rightful President.

Well anyway, do be mindful that we are living in an age where most people are feeling a little stabby. It would be wise to heed the warnings.

Caesar [To the Soothsayer]: The ides of March are come.

Soothsayer: Ay, Caesar; but not gone

Even the squishy peeps can be dangerous in such times.

The staging of “Julius Peeper”ides of march peep

So I’m just saying…let’s be careful out there.

Caesar was actually assassinated in Pompey’s theater. It was a meeting of the Senate, but not in their usual location.

It’s no theory that Trump is the rightful President. It’s a fact Jack.

"What Rome needed was what the liberators had taken from her, a master mind of broad views and of great executive power.

If you are here hoping to compare Julius Caesar to Donald Trump then, sorry, but that is a very, very mistaken idea!
Caesar was a tyrant and mass murderer, unelected by anybody, "crossed the Rubicon" with his army to seize power militarily in Rome.
Nothing remotely resembling in career path to that of Donald Trump.

Trump was elected constitutionally and even when allegedly defeated, certainly unconstitutionally, willingly abandoned political office.

If you're looking for some historical analogy, recently the name "President Joseph Stolen" was posted on FR, and describes pretty well, I'd say, what we have -- the old Bolsheviks overthrowing Kerensky's more democratic provisional government, though in today's case we'd have to say that "Uncle Joe Stolen" is ruled by his (CCP) Comintern, not the other way around. ;-)

Joe Biden's demented state is a strategy for the Democrat left not a hindrance. Yet, it now appears that the Democrats’
proven aptitude (for stealing a presidential election) did not factor in the downside of a mentally impaired president.

This is the bizarre dilemma we now face.

<><> the alleged president is largely hidden from public view, and protected by his handlers from facing questioning,

<><> probably Biden doesnt even live in the WH, but creeps back to Delaware to make get-rich-quick deals for the Biden Crime Family,

<><> Biden's press secy Jen Psaki continues to carry out her ludicrous know-nothing "circle back" strategy,

<><> We, the people, cannot simultaneously admit that Biden is mentally unfit and simultaneously expect that he fulfills his duties.

<><> Democrat utopia is Biden in office, and MSM daily agit/prop, never granting us anything remotely resembling reality.

<><> we are being forced to exist at the hands of power-hungry Democrats

<><> this insufferable existence is in the "twilight zone" of a Biden presidency.

Cassius and Brutus were Republicans seeking to restore the Republic. Caesar was a dictator

March 15, 44 B.C., was the date of the failed attempt by Brutus and Cassius to save the Republic.

March 15, A.D. 1783, was the date of General George Washington's successful put-down of the Newburgh Conspiracy, saving the Republic.

The dictatorship was a time-honored Roman office, used for good purposes by Cincinnatus and by Fabius Maximus Cunctator. It had a time limit of six months (but dictators often resigned before the time was up). What was different about Caesar is that he had been named dictator perpetuus and obviously did not plan ever to give up power. He said Sulla didn't know his ABC's because Sulla had resigned his dictatorship.
