So Much Crazy Stuff Has Already Happened in 2018, and It’s Only January 31

January 31, 2018

t's been a long year already, and it's not even February, folks! That's right. We're merely one-twelfth of the way through 2018. We've got 11 more of these to go, and I honestly don't know if we're going to make it.

The ups and downs and mostly downs of January have been almost too much for us to handle, you know, as a country. It shows real strength and resilience that we're even attempting to enter February with our heads held high.

As a reminder, here are the craziest things that have gone down in all of our lifetimes. It just so happens that they all occurred in one month. January 2018 is certainly one for the history books.

It seems disingenuous to write about all the things that happened in January when there are still around 15 hours left in the day. That’s enough time for a declaration of war, a few celebrity deaths, and a sexist comment from Sarah Huckabee Sanders. (Oh wait, that last one already happened this morning.)

January 29 — Trump says he won't impose new sanctions on Russia even though literally almost every person has said he should.

This is a really bad thing, guys!!! The president has caused a constitutional crisis, but it’s mostly flown under the radar because we’re so overwhelmed with news that we simply cannot be outraged by all of it.

 

January 25 — The New York Times reports that Donald Trump tried to fire special counsel Robert Mueller back in July.

The attempted firing of Robert Mueller consumed the news that day, and rightfully so, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t also include that this is the day married Congressman Patrick Meehan from Pennslyvania announced his retirement after it was revealed that he had settled a sexual harassment case. His accuser was a former (much younger) aide of his who he thought of as his “soul mate.” Whatta day!

People, we’re not even halfway through the month yet…
