Tuesday was an eventful day.

After revelations that President Donald Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the business dealings of Trump's political opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) finally announced an official impeachment after months of hesitation.

And things only got wilder from there.


Much of the public applauded Pelosi's decision, with hashtags like #ImpeachmentParty, #ImpeachTheMF, and #ImpeachTrumpNOW soon skyrocketing to the top trending topics in the United States.

But there was one other hashtag that stood out.



Yup, #Trump2020LandslideVictory soon began trending in the United States.

People had a theory as to why.





It's unclear whether the trends actually originated from bots, or if the announcement of an impeachment inquiry emboldened Trump supporters.

What is indisputable is that Russia (and now the Ukraine) is still trying to influence the United States election in 2020.

The book Impeachment: A Handbook is available here.

"Originally published at the height of the Watergate crisis, Charles Black's classic Impeachment: A Handbook has long been the premier guide to the subject of presidential impeachment. Now thoroughly updated with new chapters by Philip Bobbitt, it remains essential reading for every concerned citizen."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
