President Trump is reportedly fuming that his threats, firings, and program cuts haven’t gotten Senate Democrats to cave to Republicans and end the shutdown.

Trump, 79, thought the shutdown would last ten days at most, believing that the unprecedented and illegal firings of federal workers by his “grim reaper‚” OMB head Russ Vought, would be enough to get Democrats to give up, sign the Republicans’ budget bill, and thus re-open the government.

    I had a roommate once throw fists at me because I wouldn’t capitulate to his idea that Bear Grylls is superior to Survivorman.

    Real talk, Chris, If you’re reading this, Bear Grylls is just a piss fetishist with military training. Survivorman was his own film crew, and never pissed in his own mouth on camera.
