a: Double displacement ~
b: when partners swap dates

What: Double displacement is like when partners swap dates, for example when KI is mixed with AgNO3, Ag pairs up with the I and K pairs up with the NO3. Positives can only be paired up with negatives. Then you check on the solubility chart. Iodide is not soluble when paired with silver therefore you can conclude that that is the identity of the precipitate.

a: American exceptionalism ~
b: religious cult

What:

"American "Exceptionalism" is like a religious cult most of which is based on lies. Our Constitution is said to come from God himself although our government is totally dysfunctional. Our foreign policy is based on what is most profitable for the military industrial complex. Our infrastructure is falling apart and our health care system ranks 37th. We have more people in prison than any country in the world - not per capita but numbers. Doesn't look like it's all that exceptional to me."
