In the Shrubbery [UPDATED]

Girlettes in the shrubbery this morning. They say they are playing Hobbit.

UPDATE: Wow--maybe the girlettes have been reading the news!
I haven't, but Orange Crate Art reports that Andrew Weiss (former director for Russian, Ukrainian, and Eurasian Affairs on the National Security Council) compared Trump to Sauron:
“I think the best analogy I’ve heard for how things work comes from the movie The Lord of the Rings, where there’s this disembodied eye, the Eye of Sauron, that hovers over everything.
In the Trump administration, if the Eye is looking at you, it’s basically all hope is lost.”
The point of LOTR, crucially, is that all hope is not lost, but that it takes enormous effort on the part of small, hitherto unimportant people [hobbits] to defeat the evil lord.
