Hispanic Heritage Month: Don Trump is Tilting at Windmills (Really)

The Don Quixote of today isn’t a deluded nobleman on horseback but Don Trump at a podium, railing against turbines as if they were plotting global conquest. The rhetoric is passionate, dramatic, and, let’s be honest, still downright funny. At times it sounds less like energy policy and more like Cervantes’ novel brought to life.


Yesterday Trumpo was talking about how stupid windmills are again.  So I found this article.

The Sicilian Expedition and the Dilemma of Interventionism

During the Peloponnesian War, Athenian statesmen were divided over a proposed intervention into Sicily. Alcibiades and his camp were overly confident of Athens's prospects in this military expedition, arguing, "How could anybody ever defeat us? We're Athens!" However, the elder general and statesman Nicias foresaw problems with Athenian intervention. Nicias told Alcibiades that the best way to demonstrate Athenian power to the Sicilians was not to intervene at all. Ultimately, the Sicilian Expedition went forward, and Athenian expeditionary forces were obliterated in battle.

Now the fool says he will start taking out power plants if Iran does not suck his balls within exactly 48 hours.

If they do, Trump might get his penis bit again.
