Yes, he created Servant of the People.
I mean, there are precedents...

I should say too, that whole idea of wanting (needing?) to reach out and attach to a previous culture isn't limited to Americans.
The whole point of the Aeneid by Virgil was for Rome to somewhat ride on the Greek coat tails founded by Homer.
So we have seen that kind of thing before.
I love, love, LOVE stories like this.
The ignorance comes from Biblical literalism:
Genesis 6:4
"4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
And a desperation to tie America to the biblical era combined with white supremacy.

Story goes that giant skeletons have been found at multiple locations in the US, were submitted to the Smithsonian, and subsequently suppressed or outright destroyed.
Only explanation needed:
"Giant skeletons of animals were often mistaken for giant human bones during previous centuries and during the early 20th century. This was due to a lack of expertise in human bone structure by those who discovered the bones. Also, some discoveries were intentionally misrepresented for various reasons."
"Gov. Greg Abbott said the session will adjourn on Friday if Democrats don't return by then"
Sounds like a trap. Adjourn, get everyone back, then "EMERGENCY SPECIAL SESSION!!"
That wasn't where the pressure was coming from:

“too many billionaires telling her not to speak up for the working class of this country.”
Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and all the other corporate Democrats are far from billionaires. That was her pressure group.
Pelosi is the wealthiest of the three due to her stock trading husband, just over $100 million, but still a far cry from a billion.
Most Americans, if you ask about "St. Petersburg" are going to go "Florida?"
Let's say, for the sake of argument, California eliminates all Republican seats and Texas eliminates all Democratic seats... what would the new House look like?
Texas -12D, +12R out of 38 total. (+1 vacancy)

California -9R, +9D out of 52 total.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_representatives_from_California
Net change? -3D, +3R.
House composition goes from 219R / 212D / 4 Vacant to 222R / 209D / 4 Vacant.

Newsom - Nice try, but no.
Edit TIL - there are fewer Republican reps in California than there are Democratic reps in Texas!
