The Dream Team was 30 years ago. Bush launched the Iraq War 20 years ago. We're closer to the 2050s than to the O.J. trial and closer to the 22nd century than to World War II. Super Nintendo debuted closer to the Eisenhower presidency than to today. — PolitiTweet.org

If Back to the Future came out today, Marty would be going back to the ancient past of 1993. Obama launched his first presidential campaign 16 years ago. Happy Gilmore, The Usual Suspects, Tommy Boy, Pocahontas, and Fargo all came out closer to the moon landing than to today. — PolitiTweet.org

We just spent a year with 2022 and after today we’ll never see it again. People usually like to shit on the outgoing year, but what was your favorite thing about 2022? — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll never understand why people say they’re “humbled” in these situations when they obviously feel the exact opposite of humbled. https://t.co/x01DFsq2Mm — PolitiTweet.org
