Wtf was going on with the Universe and last Wednesday in particular that made everybody act like they were living through a wild fever fueled nightmare?
I definitely think he probably would have said that regardless, but the fact that last Wednesday in particular was just so jam packed with surreal what the fuck is actually happening moments. Was it some kind of secret right wing day of significance that didn't go according to plan? Something in the air? Weird planetary alignments?
That whole day kicked off with Russian drones "accidentally" going into Polish airspace right before midnight in Poland.
This guy apparently lets his genocidal fantasy for undesirable populations slip on air, which ends up being too much for even Fox News to just brush off as casual commentary
Then the House and Senate try to get Republicans to tell them wtf is in the Epstein/J.P. Morgan/Peter Thiel/Elon Musk files, but they are blocked.
Then before anybody can even really notice that happened, Charlie Kirk is assassinated. Some old man in the crowd immediately screams he did it and tells the crowd to shoot him. He ends up hauled off in handcuffs with his pants around his ankles. It turns out he's just a local well known right wing political agitator, who also slept on a cot in Ronald Reagan's secretary of education's hotel room at the '88 Republican National Convention? As he's being hauled away with his pants down, the real killer jumps from a roof and escapes.
Then some guy with a pellet gun is arrested and released.
Then we finally end the night with Trump calling Kirk a martyr for free speech and Trump accusing the vitriol of the left (again the same day Fox News talks about executing homeless people) of being responsible for Kirk's murder.
We all go to bed with no clue wtf is actually happening before easing into the next day, which happens to be the anniversary of 9/11.
Wtf was that day?
Thank you for recognizing this. I felt crazy but it really did seem like everything bumped up a notch last week.
Not to mention there was a school shooting in Colorado, the state widely seen as the beginning of the wave of school shootings that haven't ceased since.
