Tourists forced to change plans, scramble to Smithsonian Museums on day one of government shutdown

A lot of tourists are being forced to "go with the flow" because they made plans to visit DC well in advance of knowing about the government shutdown.

Some women and children attempted to flee the scene and sought protection in a nearby ravine, but the Hotchkiss guns fired on their position at a rate of 50 2-pound (0.9-kg) shells per minute.

The way this lady flips her hair aside as she blithely insists there was an "overemphasis on slavery" at the Smithsonian is a perfect little touch.

But more important -- museums aren't there to make you feel good. You're thinking of an "amusement park." The words look a little alike, I guess.

Trump tapped his former personal attorney, Lindsey Halligan, to prosecute James Comey, and she doesn’t even know the difference between real history and made-up stories.
