In the aftermath of the gavel-to-gavel coverage of former FBI Director James Comey eappearing before the US Senate Intelligence Committee on June 8, 2017, the party line leaked by the White House (to portray Il Douche in the best light) reported no outbursts by the Son-of-the-Beach (Mar-a-Lago), either verbal or tweeted. However, that is "fake news." Handy Andy (Borowitz) provides a truthful account of the White House during the hearing. If this is (fair & balanced) real journalism, so be it.

White House On Lockdown After Television Is Hurled Out Window

TagCrowd cloud of the following piece of writing
The White House was on lockdown Thursday morning after a television was hurled out of a window, the Secret Service reported.
The incident, which occurred shortly after 10 AM EST, caught the attention of the Secret Service after agents heard the sound of smashing glass emanating from the Oval Office.
“The sound was consistent with that of a large object, such as a television set, being thrown through a closed window,” a Secret Service spokesman said.
The television, which crashed to the ground outside the Oval Office, injured no one, the Secret Service confirmed.
A group of fourth-grade students from Bethesda, Maryland, was on a White House tour when the incident involving the television occurred.
“I heard someone screaming lots of swear words and then, like, this big crash,” Zach Dorrinson, a student on the tour, said. “It was messed up.” # # #
