Trump’s most fundamental goal, is the very essence of tyranny. He is trying to make himself an all-powerful dictator by seizing a personal monopoly on the use of force. He is testing the very forces he wants to control, seeing how far he can go. Those very forces must turn against him in a resolute way.

The only consistent "principle" held by Trump and his religious right backers is a belief that women are disposable. – Amanda Marcotte, Salon, 3March25

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
