Can we talk about the The Th*i E****ner's attempts at the English language?
Admittedly, your observation is, in many ways, astute. Nevertheless, one must consider the possibility that, stylistically speaking, many writers feel compelled — or perhaps, more charitably, inspired — to deploy discourse markers as though their careers depended on it. Moreover, it appears that, increasingly, such language has become a sort of lexical seasoning sprinkled liberally throughout otherwise serviceable prose. Consequently, the cumulative effect is, unsurprisingly, one of rhetorical fatigue. Furthermore, editors — for reasons that remain, arguably, mysterious — seem, from time to time, to regard such linguistic padding as a hallmark of sophistication. Accordingly, and perhaps even regrettably, articles end up sounding less like writing and more like a TED Talk delivered by someone who just discovered the transition section of a grammar book. Therefore, it is entirely plausible that these flourishes are being added post-submission, retrofitted into the prose like ornamental gutters on a perfectly fine house. Conversely, one could argue that these markers serve a useful function — namely, guiding the reader through complex arguments and, to an extent, simulating the flow of natural conversation. Nonetheless, in excess, they begin to feel less like helpful signs and more like someone yelling “NEXT POINT!” at the end of every sentence. In other words, the prose starts to sound as if it’s perpetually clearing its throat. Ultimately, then, whether this phenomenon is driven by editorial mandate, linguistic insecurity, or an unconscious addiction to adverbial glitter, the result remains the same: readers, regrettably, must wade through a textual thicket of “consequentlys,” “moreovers,” and “interestinglys” just to locate the actual point. Indeed, it’s exhausting. -

Are Trump's intentions positive, or is he just unhinged?
I can't even process that anyone actually believes that Trump cares one tiny bit about the common man, Your post is full of silliness. The "reciprocal tariffs" aren't based on tariffs at all. They're based on total idiocy conflating trade imbalances with tariffs and the big lie that they are paid by foreign nationss and aren't actually a tax mostly on lower wealth Americans. Doge isn't about cutting waste. Its about concentrating corruption with Trump cronies. It's about smashing all the government agencies to pieces to facilitate total power takeover by an autocratic dictator. A key policy goal of Trump remains even more tax cuts for billionaires. -

Dow Headed for Worst April Since 1932 - Always Winning: Tired of Winning!
Once upon a time, In June of 1963, President Kennedy signed Executive Order 1110. This order allowed the Treasury to issue currency directly. I won't go into too much detail here, but obviously, the Central Banks didn't like that as it took away their monopoly. We all know what happened to Kennedy just a few months later. LBJ later rescinded the order. In any event, the Fed can be ended, either by the President or by congress. I can't see Trump doing that, though. That last thing he wants right now is sound money. He just wants the Fed to print more, weakening the currency. He must think that's the answer.
