    Kessler later blamed the tweets on Ambien.

Why do people think this is an excuse? "I'm sorry I ran over the toddler. I was drunk." See? Intoxication isn't an excuse

If it didn't work for Roseanne, then why the hell would Kessler would think it would work for him?

At least try to be clever with a new excuse.

Ya know what the real sticker is here?

Kessler used it last year, long before Roseanne.

Roseanne, who almost exclusively follows alt-right and conspiracists on Twitter, and retweets the craziest of the crazy with abandon.

So she was just adapting the Ambien defense from a fellow alt-righter who tried it before.

I’ll be honest, I did not know that. You learn something new everyday. But then again, I don’t really follow the alt-right too well and I’m not planning to. The last thing I need is to follow people who probably see me as an inferior due to being a minority.

I enjoyed life so much better when the conspiracy theories were far-fetched rather than the Occam's Razor Best Fit.

Yea , UFO and Bigfoot conspiracies were a lot better and a lot more fun than Alex Jones’s conspiracy theories about globalists and pizzagate.
