National Christmas Tree Falls Over Near White House Two Days Before Biden is Set to Light
2023-11-30
[NYPost] "The tree was toppled just two days before Biden was set to light it for the annual Christmas lighting ceremony.

As of right now, the National Park Service is still determining if the tree is still salvageable.

This isn’t the first time this year the National Christmas Tree has faced trouble." [continues].

No reports of a bicycle being involved...

#5  A shame the fall didn't wait for the lighting ceremony.

#4  #2, exactly right. Incompetence knows no limits. And if you can't even set up a tree correctly, which every other administration has done every other year, what else can you not do (I know, I know.)?

#3  Maybe Hunter will appear on scene in only a jockstrap and red boa, wrap the boa wound the base of the tree to prop it up and quote the book of Matthew.

#2  Difficult to believe that's the strongest wind DC has ever experienced while a Christmas tree was standing outside the White House. Easy to believe some incompetent failed to properly secure the tree.

#1  A metaphor for the Biden Administration.
