I remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg officiating the wedding of two major DNC donors who basically hit the "you donated X amount so you can force a Supreme Court Justice to sing and dance for you" threshold.

They wanted to show the whole world how special they were, having The Notorious RBG officiate their wedding. That's how official a wedding it was.

And then she contracted a virus at the wedding and died of it.

I remember the 9/11 episode of Well There's Your Problem where Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in the middle of their mid-recording break, and when Justin is the last one to hear the news he just starts cackling maniacally, like actual instant jokerfication in real time. Still my favorite episode.

Oh my god that's right. Did I even remember that by the end of the day?

West Wing Story is a song parody of "America" from West Side Story; the song depicts a sing-off between President Donald Trump and the "Squad" (Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ayanna Pressley), in which Trump loses the sing-off. Trump is chased out of the White House and then joins the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates in a can-can line, where Trump runs out of breath and falls down.

I remember the biggest mass shooting that's ever happened in the US, the Vegas shooting, having a baffling number of suspicious details ... the Saudi prince, the shooter's private plane having once been owned by the CIA, the reports of gunfire on the tarmac as if the shooter (or someone) was trying to stop someone from leaving by plane, the really inconsistent reports from the Vegas Police and the hotel security guards ... and then one of the security guards was brought onto Ellen, where they had a full sized 3D replica of the hotel floor so they could walk through the official story one more time for the audience, and Ellen was really insistent on clarifying the official story that definitely proves it was just one guy and nothing nefarious happened in a casino with Ellen-brand slot machines.

That security guard moved to Mexico shortly after that Ellen episode was filmed.

That whole event got memory holed so fast...

I haven't seen this and I'm actually really upset that you've even told me about it. kiryu-pain

I remember Kevin Spacey getting fired from House of Cards after getting outed as a rapist, and then he released a video of him, in character as Frank Underwood, vaguely threatening the House of Windsor if his demands weren't met.

I remember thinking it was the most "only happens in Bojack Horseman" level of crazy I've ever seen in an actor.

And then Jeffrey Epstein was killed.

And then all of Kevin Spacey's accusers were killed.

I feel like I've forgotten thousands of things that happened only one administration ago. I remember thinking "how will I explain the ridiculousness of this era to our children?" And now it's all flittering away...
