When Roman emperors ran out of ideas, they promised #BreadAndCircuses. Trumpâs speech was full of circuses, including a lengthy celebration of the U.S. menâs Olympic hockey team. But heâs *no* Roman emperor: He made a point of reminding the American people that his administration is providing a lot less #food to the #poor (having âliftedâ 2.4 million people off #FoodStamps).
A quotation from Jean-Paul Marat
In order to subdue his subjects, the Prince labours to blind them. Conscious of the unlawfulness of his own designs, and sensible of what he has to fear from clear-sighted men, he endeavours to deprive the people of every means of acquiring knowledge.Jean-Paul Marat (1743-1793) French physician, political theorist, scientist, journalist
The Chains of Slavery [Les ChaĂźnes de LâEsclavage], ch. 40 âOf Ignoranceâ (1774) [Beckett ed. (1774)]

Being a masochistic #SeattleMariners baseball fan finally pays off tonight after 24 years. That was an exhausting vicarious five hours.
On to the Championship Series!đ
