Hey, no big deal amirite? Just the owner of Twitter praising an infamous Roman general who took over the government and murdered thousands of people. No biggie. All you media orgs, just carry on like nothing’s wrong. Cool.

@Green_Footballs An infamous Roman general who *failed* after all of that. His reforms were undone quickly, some in his own lifetime. Augustus was a bastard who proscribed politicians he didn't like (like Cicero) but managed to actually build a new regime and bequeath to an heir; Sulla was just a failure. What's next, simping for Jefferson Davis and Robert Lee?

@Alon @Green_Footballs wouldn’t Crassus be more his style?

@Transportist @Alon @Green_Footballs I take it for granted Trump is Caligula in this scenario.
