<p>I prefer the model of Twain's "history doesn't repeat itself, it
rhymes"... <br>
</p>
<p>It appears that the great poem of life has lapsed into a riff of
thug-rap (taking names and popping caps)... which could go on for
quite a while... apparently there are a lot of folks who want/need
that kind of angry/negative me-first energy?</p>
<p>And a slap-happy new year to you too!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Merry christmas and a happy new year
2019! I hope Mueller will finish his report in 2019 and I
assume president Trump will either resign or be impeached
like Nixon, since the House belongs now to the democrats
(Did you know "Mueller" is the German version of "Miller"
btw? As you know a miller is someone who creates the flour
we need for life) Then Donald will spend the rest of his
life in prison or seek asylum in Russia. This would be the
end of "Trumpism". But who knows, it's a complex world. In
hindsight we will learn more about "Trumpism" as well. At
the moment it seems to be a mixture of the original Italian
fascism and post-soviet authoritarianism, i.e. the rule of
an authoritarian leader who demands absolute loyalty and
trusts only his family. I believe we can only decode social
systems if we really understand the various forms of *-isms
like fascism, nazism or communism, and how they are
related. <o:p></o:p></p>
