Mere hours after some House Republicans reported progress on a proposal to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the month, Donald Trump demanded they use the opportunity to "defund" Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team.

That’s not how any of this works, lol. This idiocy will be denied like all similar gambits he’s flailed into under the advice of incompetent counsel.
It’s two hours since they hit the iceberg, and they’ve commandeered all available lifeboats. Many are taking on water. Some of them are bailing frantically, some are taking the opportunity to stick their hands up the skirts of women trying to bail water or vomiting over the side, and some are boring more holes or denying they’re in a lifeboat to begin with.
Meanwhile, though they can all see the rescue ship right in front of them, trump is facing the opposite way, demanding they row away from help because he knows better. McCarthy dressed as a woman to board the first lifeboat, but he’s been discovered and is trying desperately to explain why he should be there.
I’ve tortured this metaphor enough, but the ship has sunk and we’re witnessing the cutthroat mess as survivors begin fighting each other for space on the door. It’s sad and frightening in equal measure.
e: I’d love to see this scene as a Garrison-style comic. Seems like a thing AI could do.
That’s not a wrench; dear god, these headlines.

This is hilarious! I’d love to see it as a skit.
that was a valiant effort to make that metaphor work
Why thank you. I aim to please.
McCarthy and company: “Look we’re going to have to negotiate with Democrats at some point and meet in the middle, we might as well --”
Trump: “CAN’T STOP DON’T STOP WON’T STOP”
