Has there ever been anything like this in the history of the US? This many people protesting against a sitting president/administration?

My theory is that he's so narcissistic that he genuinely believes every thought that comes into his mind is the truth.

Made me think of this Irish toast:

"Here's to a long life, and a merry one
A quick death, and an easy one
A pretty girl, and an honest one
A cold beer - and another one"

My local newspaper stopped doing April Fools in 2017 due to the problem of fake news and discussions about media's credibility.

According to Vivian he also paid extra to have them select only male embryos during the in vitro process, or something like that (not sure about the details and correct terminology) - and didn't get what he paid for in Vivian's case... Which I guess probably also contributed.

Not where I work. My thinkpad is managed by the understaffed IT department, and is severely crippled by clownstrike and other garbage and bloatware. Linux is not allowed, only windows.

But my colleagues who chose a MacBook don't have all that crap because said IT department haven't figured out how to remotely manage Macs yet...

I suggest changing it slightly to POTUSITO - President of the United States In Title Only.

Has the added bonus of -ito being a diminutive suffix in Spanish, and probably many related languages, so afaik one could read it as "little POTUS" 😁

Reminds me of my Polish colleague who once arrived at the office and said: "I would say good morning. But it's not a good morning. "

The previous night our manager had taken the team out for dinner and drinks, paid for by the company. It wasn't a good morning for any of us 😁

Nice! I also do this, but don't think I've ever gotten to 12. 8 or 9 is probably my record.

Edit: managed a 10 today 🙂
