As he sat at table with his trusted lieutenants the master said “Believe me, by morning one of you will call me a moron.” While his manservant Mikhail asked, “Master, is it I?” the others shifted sorrowfully in their chairs wondering, “How did he know?” #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Traditionally, to apply the word evil to an American president or American policy was considered discreditable by authorities like The NY Times—and yet here we are, and the word is precisely appropriate. nytimes.com/2020/01/17/opini…

Her last five years were my first five years.
@RobertEllsberg spent the last 5 years of Dorothy Day’s life working with her at the Catholic Worker. On 1/27 & 1/28 he joins us for two screenings of "Revolution of the Heart: The Dorothy Day Story." RSVP: bit.ly/37J2OZI & bit.ly/2TfiVtM #DorothyDayGeorgetown

Feast of St Prisca. In the early church women like her played a vital role as evangelists and church administrators. She and her husband operated the main house church in Corinth and later in Rome. Paul said they “risked their necks” for his life, and later died as martyrs.

An unusual, but creative strategy for boosting his landscaping business. You have to admit, you’re curious about his work. Respect!

After studying Napoleon’s debacle in the Patriotic War the master concluded: “It’s easy to win a war.” The trick is to “burn all your own cities and farms, depriving the enemy of spoils.” Today’s generals were “dopes and babies.” #TolstoysTalesofTrump
In remarks not reported until now, Trump raged during a 2017 meeting at the Pentagon with military leaders.
“I wouldn’t go to war with you people,” Trump told the assembled brass. wapo.st/3alYHVm

Future historians would speculate that the seeds of the Great War and the fall of the Romanovs were planted in the master’s “perfect letter” to the Ukrainian Minister of Parks and Recreation. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
