I know it was all a tragic soap opera of a Trump era but you cant be blamed for laughing in spite of the tragedy.
It was Donald Trump who released the kraken. The QAnon nutters fell for it!
"Ever since Trump-aligned attorney Sidney Powell went on Fox Business and promised to “release the kraken”—a reference to her plot to expose baseless accusations of voter fraud and overturn the election results in favor of President Trump—the phrase has exploded in popularity as a rallying cry among QAnon supporters and members of Trump’s orbit, and become a butt of jokes among others as her nationwide legal effort fails at almost every turn."
