They are trying to act Trumpian without acting too Trumpian.

That's not how that works.

They dont even put the little mail boxes on the side.

What!?!? We can't just randomly fire on other nations without them retaliating? Outrageous!

It has to be from an endangered gorilla.

Yes, each impeachable instance or crime is grounds for a new impeachment.

The US likely has the votes for a 3rd impeachment, with some Republicans coming across the isle (again). However, it will not result in Trump being removed.

The US system is so fucking weird, it was never meant to work with political parties. It's like a penalty being called on the winning team in sports and the referee stops to ask the offending team if they should get a penalty or not.

Agreed, it is pretty spot on. Capturing the originals vacant stare is what makes it.

Agreed, my friends knew about 90% of these and most of them are not on Lemmy. I think the weak link, or the one most hadn't heard of, is the new funding bill that grants Trump more crazy powers to thwart the justice system ... but at this point who can be surprised by that.

28% of Americans think they are billionaires that are just suffering a temporary financial setback.

Agreed. I have said people ignored the books and dictionary entries, the word Aluminium and MANY others never caught on. You just keep pointing to those books.

The US literally "noped" out of the word Aluminium and refused to use it. If Im wrong, then why arent we saying it today?

It is what it is. The US did not accept the THIRD name change. No one really knew about the first name. Aluminium appeared in the fucking dictionary ... but the US population ignored it and stayed with the second name.

Wikipedia is just citing old books ... the same old books people disregarded when they refused to use the new weird name.

Webster was an idiot and was trying to change hundreds of words and the population just wasn't having it. "Soop" instead of "Soup" was literally forced on the public, Aluminium, Dawter ... do we use those? No.

Wikipedia is simply wrong. Both spellings were never equally used. Even your post confirms this, the dudes patent said "Aluminium", but he used Aluminum instead because he liked it. This is how it was everywhere.
