Is this the "#WhoKilledKingJohn?" guy?

The version of "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?", "He doesn't have to say it, we just know what he means", Trump's coded calls for violence, contained in this performance was all too relevant.

Even when the placeholders were a #PotatoMasher and a wooden #MeatTenderisingHammer.

#MadnessOfKings

"To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of Heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess."
- William Shakespeare, "King John" (Act 4, Scene 2)

#13thCentury #realpolitik article!

including this splendid image of #KingJohn holding a model of #Beaulieu abbey.

Legend says that he founded it after a quarrel with the #Cistercian order & subsequent nightmare of being beaten by monks. Gratitude & prayers ensued!
