I was looking at pictures of Napoleon today,
and ... fuck ... he reminded me of Trump
bigly.

His life was a lot like Trump's too. He
appeared to be on the side of LEF for
awhile, but then all the money, glamor,
and warmaking got to his head and he
became autocratic.

His downfall... thinking he could actually
take it all.

Notice how a new disasters "suddenly happen" with each new Epstein revelation or release.

Each is designed to create confusion, and in someone's (Miller's? ) sick mind, create a situation calling for martial law.

Period.

Must be in Project 2025, but it's too cringe-worthy for me.

Scholars?
