12/22/18: Americans wake to the realization that for a third time since reciting the oath of office, the Big Orange Buffoon is throwing a tantrum and the government is partially shuttered. Naturally, Trump blames the Democrats, even though days earlier he said he’d be “proud” to shut the show down if that’s what it took to get funding for his big, beautiful wall.
Press Secretary Pinocchio is forced to go before reporters
and say that anyone who doesn’t support building a wall really wants the Huns
to invade Texas and march north to sack the nation’s capital and carry away all
the virgins.

The Huns approach! |
The rest of the day the bad news piles up for the embattled president. Brett McGurk, the top State Department envoy coordinating the fight against ISIS, quits in protest of the president’s spur-of-the-tweet-decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria.
In an email to staff, McGurk explains:
The recent decision by the
president came as a shock and was a complete reversal of policy that had been
articulated to us by [National Security Adviser John] Bolton and others. It left
our coalition partners confused and our fighting partners bewildered with
no plan in place…
“ISIS is on the run, but it is not yet defeated,” McGurk
adds. He had worked to “help manage some of the fallout” from Trump’s impulsive
decision, but “ultimately concluded that I could not carry out these new
instructions and maintain my integrity at the same time.” (See: 12/23/18.)
