“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

    Thom hears a rhyme
    From another time
    When men in hoods
    Roamed the woods,
    With crosses ablaze
    Through nights and days.

The Rule of Lawless, Droning On Dept. 0

Title:  Hey Kids!  It's Droney--the friendly MAGA drone.  Frame One:  Little boy:  Droney, we read that you've been seen attacking Venezuelan boats in international waters, killing at least 17 people.  Droney:  Well, sure.  The president says they were drug smugglers.  ALso, the videos are really cool.  Boats go splodey!  It's fantastic content.  Little boy:  But--they could have been interdicted and arrested.  And they you'd have evidence.  Little girl:  They may have been migrants or just fishermen.  Droney:  Eh, drug smugglers, migrants, whatever.  It's a new day of American power, which means the president gets to summarily execute anyone he wants.  The Supreme Court says so.  Little boy:  Are you sure about that?  Droney:  You kids aren't questioning MAGA drones, are you.  Because that's exactly the sort of thing the president does not like.  Little boy:  No, we certainly are not.  Little girl:  Perish the thought.  Droney:  Okay, good.  Well, gotta run.  I've got to track down a late night comedian.  Er, I mean to say, a radical antifa terrorist who also tells jokes.  (Droney flies off.)  Little girl:  He's . . . kidding, right?  Droney (over his shoulder):  Ha ha.  I'll never tell.

“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

Trudy Rubin hears a rhyme in Donald Trump’s efforts to silence his critics. A snippet:

Trump is following a pattern clearly marked out by the Kremlin — and perhaps even more relevantly by Turkey, where journalists and academics are prosecuted for “insulting the president” — and by Hungary, led by Trump pal Viktor Orbán.
