Oops. Thought it was recent, given recent events. My bad.

Still, only a little over a month ago.

Najaf? No way! That used to be such a nice place too....

wait a minute....I thought everything was hunky-dory until Trump gave the thumbs-up to kill Sadsalami

Why did you think that?

because not many people were saying jack shit about the deteriorating conditions until Trump approved of killing Sadsalami.

Sounds like you need to broaden your information intake.

Gee, I wonder if anyone put them up to it.

I thought you listened to NPR? They’ve been talking about the protests/uprising for months.

You can literally buy a calendar at the dollar store for a dollar.

Also, your computer comes with a free calendar.

Those calendars used Arabic numerals!

January Akbar

This has been in the news for months! Iraqis have been protesting the cozy relationship between the Iraqi and Iranian leadership. How have you not heard about this?

Always check the dates on articles that you see coming across your social media feed. I sometimes get articles for celebrities that died years ago. Also, a lot of the sensationalist stuff that comes through is bullshit, such as this one.

Thank god for politifact

I don't listen to it 24/7. I listen during my daily commutes.
