@MeghUpdates The barbaric attack on Israeli civilians can find only one reflection in Shakespeare - the rape and mutilation of Lavinia in Titus Andronicus (Demetrius and Chiron are the Hamas villains who did it): (Enter the Empress’ sons, Demetrius and Chiron, with Lavinia, her hands cut

@RepBoebert Iran wasted no time in putting Biden's $6 billion to good use arming Hamas, and so Israel is invaded, north and south, just like England under Henry IV: Westmoreland: "But yesternight, when all athwart there came A post from Wales loaden with heavy news, Whose worst was that

@catturd2 The Epstein list is coming out, four years after Epstein was murdered in government custody. Shakespeare foresaw it all, looking at the sexual corruption of children in Pericles: "You are a fair viol, and your sense the strings Who, fingered to make man his lawful music, Would

@The_Trump_Train The kangaroo who is presiding over Trump's civil trial in Manhattan literally said, from the bench, ""I don't want to hear what he has to say." This mirrors Leontes in A Winter's Tale, who tries his own innocent wife, Hermione, for infidelity. She is Trump: Hermione: "Since

@JDVance1 The dead pile up in Ukraine, and our governors turn their heads away: "And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by, He called them untaught knaves, unmannerly, To bring a slovenly unhandsome corpse Betwixt the wind and his nobility."
