Why are people still capitalizing trump, does he deserve even that amount of respect?


Incidentally had to cancel my WP sub, as pretty much every other article involves trump.

A proposal - the English language should switch back to traditional long form billions.
A billion is not 1000 million but a million million.
This will help people properly grasp how amazingly rich billionaires are.

The wealth of current billionaires will not change.  There will be fewer of them.

Indeed, maybe only one or two of them left.

Really Tyr, needs to go the other way, perhaps redefine wealth in terms of how many coal pits or traditional pubs they could aford to buy.

How do we know it was in the files?

IIRC the department of justice said its actually fake and they are going to remove it.

With the amount of docs and the focus on ctrl-F-ing on "Trump" before the publish deadline, I can give them the benefit of the doubt that no investigator since the initial collection of these files had noticed somebody somehow slipped this fake one into the pile, but it also fits perfectly the agenda of just discrediting everything that's in there, in case a page with Trump on it somehow slips through or gets leaked.

Sufjan Stevens has released a shitload of Christmas songs over the years. A mix of covers of classic (and obscure) carols and original songs. I find them delightful.

They're collected in two sets:

Songs for Christmas
Silver & Gold

I saw it posted by someone reliable. There are articles out there talking about it on legit sites like the bbc.

The Trump team really took some lessons on russian tactics. This is exactly the discourse they want ppl to be having.
