Then Dr. Jill goes to Pittsburgh last weekend to an Italian Club dinner. She was telling them all what wonderful things JOE has done for our Country. What Country is she talking about? How stupid were those Italians. JOE wanted to change the name of Columbus Day! That's why President Trump didn't

Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest"? .......................

A quote attributed to Henry II of England preceding the death of Thomas Beckett, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170. While the quote was not expressed as an order, it prompted four knights to travel from Normandy to Canterbury, where they killed Becket. The phrase is commonly used in modern-day contexts to express that a ruler's wish may be interpreted as a command by his or her subordinates. It is also commonly understood as shorthand for any rhetorical device allowing leaders to covertly order or exhort violence among their followers, while still being able to claim plausible deniability for political, legal, or other reasons.
