"So corrupted indeed and debased was that age by sycophancy that not only the foremost citizens who were forced to save their grandeur by servility, but every ex-consul, most of the ex-prætors and a host of inferior senators would rise in eager rivalry to propose shameful and preposterous motions. Tradition says that Tiberius as often as he left the Senate-House used to exclaim in Greek, “How ready these men are to be slaves.”
(Tacitus, from The Annals - but where?)
We note:
1, One Republican Representative from North Carolina has proposed a bill in the House to rename Washington DC's Dulles airport after Trump.
2. Another from Florida has proposed a bill to add Trump to the U.S. presidents commemorated on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.
3. Another allegedly has proposed making Trump's birthday a public holiday.
This for a convicted fraudster and civilly adjudicated sexual assailant.
4. Mark Zuckerberg, not a Congressman but a top-notch oligarch listened (again allegedly) to a rendition of the U.S national anthem sung by pardoned insurrectionists from the 6th January 2021 attempt to overthrow the result of the 2020 election, with his hand on his heart (of course). Maybe he was crying as well.
All this in a country that knows neither King nor any Lord save God.
