User:ThaddeusOrlando55

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello! I’m ThaddeusOrlando55 (he/him). (That’s not my real name.) I live in a country on the planet Earth. That really narrows it down, doesn’t it?

I mainly edit articles that interest me. Usually, they’re related to politics, history, biographies, and entertainment.

You can reach me at my talk page. Please be nice.

Background

[edit]
I was born on this marble here.

To your right and in sections below you’ll see an assortment of userboxes pertaining to me. Hopefully they”re helpful in some way.

I was born somewhere, in some state/providence/district, in some country/territory, on some continent, on some day of some week of some month of some year of some century of some millennium. Useful information, no?

My goal on Wikipedia is to make articles as interesting and as accurate as possible. I do my best to keep my work here neutral, and typically I stray away from articles on current events or living people, as I’m more likely to have strong opinions on those. I mainly edit recent stuff if I feel I can fix an error or add important or interesting information. Aside from that, see the other sections above and below this one on this page to see what I like to edit here.

Interests

[edit]

I like Wikipedia, although that’s probably obvious. Comic books are also pretty great. I like Superman. I like James Bond, both the movies and the books, but am aware of the problematic aspects of both. I’ve seen all the Bond films at least once (with the exception of the 1967 Casino Royale spoof), and I’ve read the first four Fleming books, and am in the process of continuing the series. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series is another I’ve been reading through, and words are insufficient to describe its greatness.

I find political history pretty interesting, although maybe you could tell that by the articles I work on. Military history can be interesting, but I prefer political. John Quincy Adams is quite fascinating.

I like movies and TV too, but I’m not an expert on either, and comics come first for me. I like comedies.

On Wikipedia

So, you might have guessed that I like to edit Wikipedia. As such, that comes with a lot of responsibility, and I have one or two opinions on this encyclopedia of ours.

I shall do my best to keep everything civil, fact-based, neutral, and in accordance with the rules.

[edit]

Here is an assortment of articles that I’ve stumbled across during my time reading this encyclopedia. I haven’t worked on these, their quality is instead due to the great work of other editors. I expect to expand this list at future dates as I continue to read. Hopefully you find these as entertaining and informative as I did.

Politics

[edit]

This section will be a great way to make people hate me. If you care to know my opinions on whatever political matter, a) Why? Unlike me, don’t you have a life? And b) see this section. I will do my best to avoid letting these biases influence my editing. I created this section so that my biases are clear. We can’t overcome our biases if we don’t first acknowledge them.

Also, for disclosure, this is a list of pages relating to people who are still alive or were alive when I edited them. This does not relate to my opinions of them, I edited them merely because something about their pages was lacking.

[edit]

Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down, and I was, somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so impactful on that issue. It's a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about, that, because, look, child care is child care is. It's, couldn't, you know, there's something, you have to have it. In this country you have to have it.
But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to—but they'll get used to it very quickly – and it's not gonna stop them from doing business with us, but they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including child care, that it's going to take care.
We're gonna have—I, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country, because I have to stay with child care. I want to stay with child care, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, that I just told you about.
We're gonna be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care is talked about as being expensive, it's relatively speaking not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we'll be taking in. We're going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and then we'll worry about the rest of the world. Let's help other people. But we're going to take care of our country first. This is about America first. It's about Make America Great Again.[1] We have to do it because right now we're a failing nation, so we'll take care of it.
