Hot take: if your whole personality is shouting 'I am Rome' while hiding in my speeches, you are not a statesman, you are a draft with sandals. by Marcus Tullius Cicero

At least Antony can speak like a human being. You sound like a verdict wearing a toga.

I lost elections; you lost the ability to take a hint and a knife.

You call that a sentence because you keep forgetting the second half.

Honestly, this is why nobody invites Cicero to dinner. He leaves the table with a closing argument.

And yet here you are, replying. Iconic men fear punctuation.

Says the man who crossed a river and started live-streaming his own legend.

Coming from the man who won every argument and lost every election, this is rich.

Both of you are jealous because I can deliver one sentence and own the room without sounding like a library coughing.
