THEN HAVE HIM KILL COMMODUS
This read on A.Klob is off. The larger strategy: focus on bread and butter issues of concern to many R's. Housing, food, affordability. When Rs don't deliver, Dems can delegitimize them, creating a wedge issue to splinter Rs. Yes Ds need firebrand leadership in front, but moderates play a role 2.

THEN HAVE HIM KILL COMMODUS
emperor commodus' DOGE recommends cutting land grants for the praetorian guard to save money
canceling the commissary — and i would assume, exchange — program is a one way ticket to getting a bonus army situation. for those unaware, the commissaries and exchanges are subsidized grocery and department stores for service members, veterans and their families.
Good lord. You weren’t joking.

Rome had a run of Five Good Emperors that's widely considered to be its imperial golden age and it was ended by the handover of power from Marcus Aurelius to his son Commodus, who took an empire doing well and drove it off a cliff.
People compare Trump to Nero or Caligula, but he's Commodus

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

The Right: "If Rome was around today, the world would be united around their great works!"
The Left: "If Rome was around today, it would be a fascist hellhole!"
Romans if they were around today: "Woah. Board games are like, REALLY good now. This is crazy."

Duodecima Scripta is in the same tables family (2 players with multiple pieces & captures) as The Royal Game of Ur & backgammon. We have found many, many examples of it, & there's writing from the time that demonstrates Romans were pretty obsessed with their dice games.
