Sinkhole Develops Near The White House Press Briefing Room

This takes “Drain The Swamp” to a whole new level completely.

As it turns out, an Actual Sinkhole has developed on the White House lawn. Now, I currently live in Florida most of the year, so you’d think I’d be used to sinkholes, but no. I’ve never even seen one, and they totally freak me out.

This thing is about a foot long and growing. Oh. And it’s near the White House press briefing room.

This week I’ve been observing a sinkhole on the @WhiteHouse North Lawn, just outside the press briefing room, growing larger by the day. pic.twitter.com/BsFUtxFqpB

The jokes write themselves.

How appropriate is it that the sinkhole is opening near the press briefing room?https://t.co/NRJVKuzcR1

It's not like a growing sinkhole right outside the press briefing room at the White House has any existential meaning to it at all, right?

Ta-da! Fixed?

Don’t worry. If this thing swallows the press briefing room whole, we’ll be sure to let you know.
