Der Fuehrer is shutting down DC [View all]

Der Fuehrer announced at last minute he is shutting down basically all of downtown DC tonite thru midnight Sunday for his gladiator brawls.

Previous occupants of White House and all other DC traffic restrictions were announced 2-3 weeks in advance.

Ms Average Old Guy taken to ER yesterday, admitted with pneumonia. I’m depending on family who live on Capitol Hill to help but now they must hurry back home right now and can’t help otherwise they cannot get back home due to street closures.

I’m praying for thunderstorms with fatal lightning strikes on his giant steel monstrosity. Is this un-Christian of me?
