News Flash Mike Pence is an idiot too. He doesn't know the difference between eminent and imminent

On MSNBC about 20 minutes ago.

Very rough quote, "Soleimani was ready for eminent attack."


eminent adjective

(of a person) famous and respected within a particular sphere or profession.
"one of the world's most eminent statisticians"

Imminent about to happen.
"they were in imminent danger of being swept away"
