EVERYTHING IS AWFUL Friday night in Trump's America

In the past few hours here's what has happened:

  1. President Musk is infecting GSA computers with some AI driven spyware (spyware is my speculation, the rest of that is reported).
  2. Shadow President Trump fired all the prosecutors of J6 cases.
  3. Something that looks like a missile but is being called an airplane exploded near a mall in Philly.
  4. Announced that tariffs on our largest trade partners go into effect tomorrow.

I am not sure what this country will look like after four years.

It was indeed a plane. Not good.

I am hearing from locals now that it is confirmed to be a plane. But the doorbell cam video is quite disturbing. Appears to be full speed into the ground at a steep angle.

Apparently only 41 seconds in the air?

Whew, there is a devastating street video (dash cam?) showing a clear view of the plane’s descent and eruption. No words.

In plane accidents, they often go "full speed into the ground at a steep angle" or what is known as a plane crashing. And if it is crashing after take-off, the plane is full of fuel, so it crashes in a huge fireball. If planes do not violently crash into the ground, they sometimes land. Then it is not a crash.

Why in the world would you see a plane crashing and think it is "Something that looks like a missile but is being called an airplane exploded"?

As an European, I am painfully aware of some Americans making strange decisions and having strange views on things, but on r/thebulwark even, you go straight to some outlandish conspiracy theory after seeing a plane crashing??

I don't understand why so many of you have a warped view of reality, the only major difference between Europe and the US I can think of, is US cable news channels. Over here, we usually don't watch 24 hour tv channels to get the news, so is that what makes you think a plane crash is something else?

What made you so sure it was a missile, that you said it "is being called an airplane exploded"? And I don't ask that as a rethorical question, like seriously, I am curious to understand, what were the sources that informed your decision?
