BILLINGSGATE POST: Taking note of the total shutdown of the Federal Government for the foreseeable future, it would appear that nothing could generate more controversy in Washington than that.
Wrong! Camel breath. With wreaking balls wreaking, and bulldozers dozing, the East Wing of the White House came down this past week.
If not controversial enough, the initial cost of the new addition was raised another $100,000,000. Although President Trump first said that the original plans were for a new ballroom to be built using no tax payer money, he later revealed that he “thought it would be nice to include a room for invited guests and foreign dignitaries to play cornhole.” “Better,” he said, “than having to listen to me drone on how I stopped eight wars and was screwed out of a Nobel Peace Prize for doing so.”
Trump: “I don’t know why everyone is so upset. Nixon put in a bowling alley. President Ford put in a swimming pool, and that jackass, Obama, built a basketball court. Although I personally have never played the game, I understand how popular cornholing is with
the folks who would use this facility in the future.”
Dr. Slim: “Where I grew up, there wasn’t much to do. Sure beat getting your ass kicked playing football.”
Dirty: Yo, Dr. Dude. You never did like contact sports. Perfect for wimps like you.”
