When does he marry his horse??

[kentuck]

When do people stop over-looking the insanity and bring out the strait jacket? The illusions have become indefensible. He's crazier than a shit-house rat.

He thinks he is the "king of the world". He can snap his fingers and stop wars. He can sue the IRS and ask for $10 billion dollars because someone looked at his income tax files once upon a time. He wants the world to make him a monument.

He is a threat to world peace and he needs to be locked away somewhere safe. Those folks that continue to defend this insanity are not operating with a full deck. They are a threat to our country and to themselves. But, there are so many of them that it is impossible to lock all of them into an asylum. They would just steal a bus and go on a field trip.

Caligula, the infamous Roman emperor, ruled as an insane person. America now has its own Caligula. His words and deeds, probably more than any other ruler, led to the downfall of the Roman Empire. Insanity offers the people few rewards.

We are dealing with a nut.

1. Caligula was deposed by the military

3. Caligula never married his horse... probably didn't make Incitatus a Consul either

One of the best known bon mots of a Roman emperor is Caligula’s quip that he fancied making his favourite racing horse a consul (he didn’t actually do it, he just said he planned to). Traditionally this was seen as a sign the man was completely deranged. More recently it has been interpreted as a bit of imperial banter, against the senate, whose point was missed. What the emperor was really saying was “You senators are such a useless lot that this horse would do a better job”. There is something in that, I think (some of the worst imperial barbs in general might sometimes have been unrecognised irony). But I have been looking a bit harder at emperors and their favourite horses over the past week, and see other things in it too.

The consul quip is only one of the excesses reported of Caligula and this particular horse (“Incitatus” or “Full Speed”). The emperor is also reported to have stationed soldiers around its stables on the night before the races to ensure that there was quiet and it got a good night’s sleep. He also gave it a marble stall, an ivory manger, its own slaves, etc etc. (You can find some of this in Suetonius’s Life of Caligula, chapter fifty-five). And he wasn’t the only emperor to go to similar lengths. Lucius Verus’s favourite race horse “Volucer” (“Flyer”) used to visit him in the palace, and was fed on nuts and raisins instead of barley; and Verus had a little gold statue of the animal made, which he carried around with him in his luggage. And Commodus had his favourite too, which on one occasion did a lap of honour in the Circus Maximus with its hoofs painted gold. (Ominously Commodus’s favourite was called “Pertinax” (“True Grit”), which was also the name of the man who replaced him on the throne, after his assassination.)

In fact, modern scholarship suggests Caligula probably wasn't really nuts... that it was more of a post-mortem propaganda campaign. See the work by Alois Winterling

4. I thought you were referring to Melania.

5. He already put Brainworm Bob in charge of federal health

That was when he stepped beyond the "marrying his horse" (did you mean "appointing his horse as a senator" (generally recognised as a suggestion Caligula made - either satirical or insane), or "marrying his own sister"?) stage.

6. I like that you compared him to Caligula.

Let's hope some of his own guards treat him to a similar end. They have access.

7. He is so persecuted, always playing the victim.

8. Caligula means little boots

9. He has to cheat on Melania with it first

10. As a child, he cried and cried until he got what he wanted.

As an adult, he thought he could get Greenland.

May the demented imbecile and traitor get all he so richly deserves, real soon.
