It's @ceruleancynic.bsky.social's turn to be upbraided by my 18yo for causing him to lose sleep because he's enjoying a Greta Helsing book too much

Funny thing about Trump going to Davos to upbraid European leaders: he didn’t have to go. Biden never went to Davos while he was President! Trump can’t get enough of pulling Europe’s pigtails. The whole administration is obsessed with us.

Yet lewdly darest our
ministring upbraid.
Reign thou in Hell, thy
kingdom; let me serve
In Heaven God ever blest, and
his divine
Behests obey, worthiest to be
obeyed;
Yet chains in Hell, not
realms, expect: Mean while

VI, 182-186
