I have to give credit to the writers of this season of _The 2020s_. Who knew that this throw-away from a couple months ago would end up being a big plot twist in the finale?

So… To be clear: Trump believes that because a social media site did not allow pornographic pictures of his opponent’s son to be broadcast all over the internet, this logically means that the constitution of the United States is therefore null and void. Not an exaggeration. ---

If Hunter Biden broke the law, hold him accountable. (See, Republicans, it’s easy!) But what they’ve got is dick picks? Let me know if there’s something there that would be devastating if a politician did it. For example, cheating on one’s spouse and paying off the porn star one was cheating with. What do you mean Trump did that and it was not devastating?? Have Republicans no morals at all?? (faints…) ---

It’s after Richard Rich gives perjured testimony in More’s trial for treason. More notices that Rich now wears a chain of office with a red dragon, and asks what it signifies; the answer is that Rich is now a Crown official (Chief Justice?) for Wales. > Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world… but for Wales? The other exchange I mentioned: > **William Roper** : So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law! > **Sir Thomas More** : Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? > **Roper** : Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that! > **More** : Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake! One of the two quotes (the other being Pastor Niemoller’s) that I feel certain people should have tattooed on the insides of their eyelids. ---
