Glad to see somebody else believe that the United States is at its version of the Crisis of the Third Century right now. Too many people on the other blog think that the United States is still in Republican Rome with Trump being the Orange Julius Caesar. Trump is the Orange Septimus Severus, and Trump's current purge of the government bureaucracy is very much like Septimus Severus's purge of the bloated Roman Senate and the Praetorian Guard.
