CIA Live-Tweeted The Usama Bin Laden Raid and Got Trolled, Badly!

We all know what happened five years ago on the 2nd of May Pakistan time, 1st of May Amreekan time. 

CIA Live-Tweeted The Usama Bin Laden Raid and Got Trolled, Badly!

And CIA, being the super romantic law enforcement institution that it is, has decided to commemorate the five years that passed in a way that’s a little…super fucking weird.

Understandably, people had a lot of feelings about this:

But the CIA seemed to think it was a great idea and went full speed ahead with it anyway!

CIA Live-Tweeted The Usama Bin Laden Raid and Got Trolled, Badly!

The story started off strong

Which is basically a nice way of saying an old man had led them on a goose chase for years. Also, #UBLRaid?? Could they have not found another acronym that wasn’t a name of a renowned bank in Pakistan!

 

It seemed entirely crucial that we see the ~real life~ reactions of the white people watching the situation from thousands of miles away

And after all that build up, they very anti-climatically stated this:

But wait! The story wasn’t over yet!

 

Really, CIA, REALLY. Was it necessary to draw this thing out even longer??

People were just so done with their Live-Tweeting Adventure.

And then, it was over. It. Was. Over.

After all that drama and terrible story-telling, it’s safe to say this individual summed it up best.
