Is there any thought process or set of personal rules behind Trump's bizarre capitalizations? (& do his stand-ins have what amounts to a capitalization guide when messaging as Trump?). For example, if you capitalize "Oil" why wouldn't you also capitalize "people"...or "ships"?

Tina Peters is a criminal. Trump wishes her well. Trump has been pardoning criminals. He has been appointing criminals. He has invited criminals to the White House. He admires Criminals. Criminals are/were his best friends.

One "last minute" bag of groceries before Xmas -- stuff like butter, milk, aluminum foil, etc -- cost me $55 today. Prices aren't going down & every single person who's shopped for anything this month knows it.

Juries, and by extension the concept of jury nullification, are the required openness that the laws of incompleteness require.
No formal system, of which the justice system is an example, is both complete and consistent. The jury is the outside perspective required by physics.

He learned from Roy Cohn: you are NEVER wrong; you NEVER make mistakes or give up; you NEVER accept defeat; you lie as needed and if you are then confronted with a tsunami of Reality, you. do. not. budge.
He's not finished with Tish.

Hypocrisy is the Republican Superpower. That brazen ability, unavailable to those of conscience or integrity, to say or do something entirely contradicted by objective facts or their own previous pronouncements. To say or do anything for immediate, short term, political gain.

I'd like to know how much all these DOJ revenge operations against Trump's perceived enemies are costing US taxpayers. It's like Trump now has a blank check for legal staff to pursue his lifelong hobby of harassing people with lawsuits. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
DOJ deciding whether to seek new Comey, James indictments
The department could forgo an appeal of Lindsey Halligan’s disqualification and instead seek to bring new charges against James Comey and Letitia James.

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

What will we learn from the Trump years? I'm looking at you Democrats, journalists, lawyers, academics, & businessmen. The blurry storm of everyday idiocy, greed & cruelty warps our ability to think clearly about anything, even the best of us. And it's not the best of us who need to learn the most.

Stabilizing the Earth system remains scientifically possible. History demands a turning point. But that would require some paradigm shifts in our thinking about economics, growth, international politics, etc. Won't happen in time. No way.
