Well, obviously he’d expect the RNC to pay those people. Ronna Romney McDaniel is used to such bills. (She could probably write a fairly-interesting book just on the topic of Trumpian demands of the party, though I’d be loathe to enrich her by buying it.)

I assume this Trumpster will get thoroughly trounced in Mass, but holy fuck that is some fascist bullshit from Trump.

Shouldn’t there be an apostrophe after the word “Pedants”?

And is “anal retentive” hyphenated?

Only if the pedants are the ones who are envious, without the apostrophe it indicates being envious **of** pedants.

Think the difference between “penis envy” and “penis’s envy”. (“Ah golly, I wish I was as big as Frank’s penis.”)

It is valid for it to be both hyphenated and not.

> **[Definition of ANAL-RETENTIVE](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anal-retentive)**
>
> exhibiting or typifying personality traits (such as frugality and obstinacy) held to be psychological consequences of toilet training —often used in nontechnical contexts to describe someone as extremely or excessively neat, careful, or precise… See...

Merriam-Webster implies that the hyphenated form is more prominent but says it is fine the other way.

So even someone who is anal-retentive can be okay with being anal retentive.

If Individual 1 attends the Queen’s funeral, will he walk in front of the funeral cortege?

The DOJ sent out lots of subpoenas to people involved in the phony electors scam and to people involved with Individual 1’s PAC.

I believe that Reagan received an honourary knighthood. But then the Queen actually liked him, and it was given for the help the US gave Britain during the Falklands war.
