oh lord where do i start

so anyway, in poland:

• our current prime minister insulted our former prime minister using a term from fortnite
• a speaker of the parliament - a former poland's got talent host - called out some politician for confusing jay z and gen z
• current candidate for president has written a book under a pseudonym and then under his real name he praised it on tv
• another candidate for president took a fire extinguisher to the parliament when there was a hannukah celebration - and this fucking asshole is from the same city as me... not even the #1 most unhinged citizen tho
• a left-wing politician is often cokeranting on twitter about random shit like our eurovision national final participant 2 years ago
• another one of our extreme right-wing candidates for president - from the same city as me, again - owns a bar and did a fucking tour or some shit where you drink beer with him talking idk i never went but yeah there's that
• while there was the biggest flood in our country of 30 years, our president was on some village homemakers' celebration thing

there's probably more than that but it's hard to keep up with all of that
