(3,334 posts)Also never use the & sign if you are writing out "and" every other place. I never do this when someone posts, only when trump tweets.

(3,724 posts)would not allow him to build a golf course where he wanted to, in favor of wind turbine farms.
As if they should not have a right to make decisions on what to do in their own country.
So trumpy.

snip-"The Trump Organization has settled a £225,000 legal bill with the Scottish government after it lost a long court battle against a windfarm near its Aberdeenshire golf course.
The Scottish government said Donald Trumps family firm had agreed to pay its legal fees before a dispute over those costs went to adjudication by a court-appointed auditor."
snip"Trump sued ministers in Edinburgh in 2012 over the decision to authorise and support the construction of an 11-turbine experimental windfarm about two miles from the southern boundary of his coastal golf course north of Aberdeen."
snip-"The Guardian revealed last month that the government had accused the Trump Organization of refusing to pay its legal costs despite a court order earlier this year after Trump lost a UK supreme court case in 2015"
bolding is mine.

(54,349 posts)A separate dialect that split off from English around half a century ago.
Notice the very first rule in the example given:
EXCERPTS FROM THE OFFICIAL DICTIONARY OF REPUBLICANESE
In Republicanese, many words that sound alike may be spelled differently at random. A few prominent examples:
In Republicanese, the following words may be spelled at random using any of the three ways given:
A.) Two, Too, To
B.) Their, They're, There
c.) Your, Yore, You're
The Republicanese version of Robin Hood therefore starts with "In days of you're...."
The only rule is that the correct use of them as in English is never permitted twice in a row.
Words with single letters that change meaning when that letter is doubled must never be used in correct English context. The classic example is lose vs. loose. In Republicanese, if you do not win an election, then you loose that election. Conversely, if your (Republicanese: youre) belt is too tight, you need it more lose in order to be comfortable. Another example would be the Republicanese, I met Donald Trump, and he was rudder than I imagined, vs. I grabbed the ruder and was able to steer the boat to shore.
In Republicanese, as opposed to English, an apostrophe is used to form a plural. But it must be done at random, never systematically. For example, Bill and Hillary are "the Clinton's," but Bill, Chelsea and Hillary are "the Clintons." The other way around is also correct. In Republicanese, either form is correct as long as it is not spelled the same way twice in a row.
Republicanese allows for use of any homonym or spelled word that sounds like what you mean in any sentence:
It is taken for granite that Trump is a business success.
You may higher two more servers.
This is a bonfied transaction.
