No matter where you turn, shit is happening at light speed sometimes and then painfully slow. But all the while it is happening. Most of it is unprecedented. More moving parts than most people can follow. Even the entertainment shows have bits and pieces of it.
Every time you see some new "thing" all you can do is go "What the Fuck?"
What the Fuuuuuuck?
Wutdafuck?
What the FUCK?
What.The.Fuck.?
etc.

(63,221 posts)Things went from relatively normal under Obama to so incredibly effed up in such a short period of time under Trump my head is spinning. It's like I can't even absorb it all at this rate. It's too overwhelming.

(921 posts)I think maybe the first one was when it looked like they might actually want that arsehole for their nominee...
Of course, the first real big surreal one was on election night... Twilight zone stuff!!!
WTF?!!!

(52,350 posts)This outcome we are now witnessing has been hastened by the push to allow the private sector to encroach on governmental obligations. So, it might look like federal government is ripping apart at the seams today, even though the fabric of our society has been corrupted at the local and state level for a very long time.

I need a park bench, a bag of bread crumbs and some pigeons.

(869 posts)...and it has been quite an appropriate online handle. Right now my addiction to the news as this horror story unfolds is distracting me from work. Many of my colleagues at the international organization I work at are in complete shock and awe. WTF??? WTF??? WTF???

(69,532 posts)plan keep on shoveling it out until we get immune to it, I will not be immune to all this crap.
I am saying just keep focused and avoid the gas lighting.

(24,324 posts)not to forget what is really going on-- keep our/their eyes on the attackers, fight them off, kill as many as possible, but don't forget the sneaky shit going on over the next ridge.

(1,606 posts)Since it was apparent that the corporate media were going to just milk the nutbag Trump campaign, even though he's got actual criminal/nazi sycophants, and was a really easy target to expose and crush, way early on. But nope. Candidates had been laughed out of the running for the most trivial offenses, yet this shitbag got a free pass. Serious WTF territory.
So much public info to shame him and dismiss the campaign, but they let it happen, incredibly. Super disgusting. And a big 'ole WTF.
All the rest that's just hard to keep up with, yeah. It's just been WTF nonstop barrage of crazy dystopian nightmare fuel, as we circle the drain of our demise. RIP, America.

(17,821 posts)Sensory overload to the point that we're desensitized to each day's new WTF. Stay sharp, stay clear, stay focused.
