Absolutely pertinent in our time, sadly not just a member of Congress but the President himself, and his entire administration.

"The past does not repeat itself, but it rhymes".

Mark Twain

Is that why 47 fancies himself as such a hilarious Joker during his rallies?

History may not repeat itself, but sometimes it comes awfully close! I hadn't heard Twain's quote, but these days Seamus Heaney’s lines (from The Cure at Troy) often come to mind:

History says, Don’t hope

On the side of the grave,

But then, once in a lifetime

The longed for tidal wave

Of justice can rise up

And hope and history rhyme.
