WTFJHT

Ever since the 2016 election, I’ve been reading–daily–an email summary of the news, written by a guy named Matt who lives in Seattle. He was incredulous about the firehose of shocking news blasting us from day one of the current clown car of an administration and started his daily summary, entitled, “What the Fuck Just Happened Today.”
