Speaking of the Axis (und der Republicansfuhrer), I am currently about 200 pages into "The Ciano Diaries."

My soul, it is chilling. Has anybody else here read it?

I hadn't even heard of the man or his diaries, but looked it all up and it looks like compelling reading, given what's swirling around here these days. I've ordered a copy, but having read up on the Count's background, I'm thinking that maybe we should all chip in and send a copy of the diaries to Jared Kushner, just to warn him of the downsides of throwing one's lot in with your father-in-law. Maybe Kushner, as a "Former Senior Advisor to the President of the USA" is in better shape title-wise to avoid the firing squad than was Count Ciano, who was officially the "Italian Minister Of Foreign Affairs,' but doing things like this always catches up with the malfeasors, backbiters and syndicators, right?

Stalin died an old man, but for the most part, yes, assholes get their due, especially in the west.

It's definitely compelling. The parallels with the preset are disturbing. Everybody is represented there, sometimes as an individual, or sometimes as a composite of multiple figures.

The amount of treachery, duplicity, greed and moral decay is wrenching.

There is nothing new under the sun.
