Despite, only this year they will finally make the bald eagle the national bird. Which, I also learned that they are not official symbols until a President signs a document for them to be. It is just a recognized symbol but not official. (Just my opinion but why do they really need a bill for this? What changes would making anything like this official really do?)

Here is a list of other US symbols (article includes links to other countries of the world national symbols, some official, some not made official) if you are interested:

    In between bombing seven different countries, Obama found a lot of time to do symbolic, meaningless shit. (Which most US presidents find time to do.)

      Biden did an apology tour for native american boarding schools two weeks before election day

      This, on the heels of a slew of Felony Mob indictments aimed at Gaza Protesters

      The way presidents will flip the history book back 50 years and issue a polite “My bad” while they persecute a new generation of people and scrub out the associated civil rights movement in real time is nauseating. It’s less than meaningless. I have to wonder what horrors President Pete Buttigieg will be apologizing for in another twenty years, in between the ethnic cleansing of Panama and the War to Liberate Singapore.
