Breaking News Trump Found Guilty of All 34 Counts In 'Hush Money' Trial | Update: Supreme Court Rules Trump Has ‘Absolute Immunity’ From Criminal Prosecution

Our generation (I’m a millennial) has seen some wild times. I don’t think there’s many generations that have live thru the crazy things we have, both bad and good; through politics, terrorism, wars, pandemics, illnesses, technology, movements, etc.

Is there any other generation that has matched the crazy list that we have live through?

Cherry on top is a former President being charged and highly likely to be convicted.. what a time to be alive
