The stock markets are having their steepest decline in a single month in almost 15 years, with this December poised to wipe out nearly every stock gain since the GOP passed their tax-cut bill in mid-2017. This is what you get, Wall Street, for blindly accepting a bad businessman you KNEW was a bankrupt con artist all because he promised you massive tax cuts... that are now turning useless even for yourselves.
The federal government is in partial shutdown, still forcing thousands of federal employees to work without pay and even taking some away from planned vacations to cover for employees barred by rules to work during such things. Merry Christmas, Republican assholes!
trump himself is sitting alone in the White House, trapped by his shutdown stunt (and oddly enough not celebrating with any of his five kids: his wife Melania is traveling back from Mar-A-Lago to give him some company on Christmas Day itself but then will depart the next day) and whining like the spoiled brat he is. Every sign of his instability and willingness to bash at anything and everyone is getting more obvious... and of course nothing will be done about it by Republicans until it gets too worse even for them.
Other than that, America, all I got for you is this one True Meaning of Christmas:
DIE HARD IS A CHRISTMAS MOVIE AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT.
Welcome to the party, Hans!

For the Christmas spirit, I've been dropping this link into comments everywhere I can find an excuse to do so:

Everything is not all bad, in fact the bad is concentrated into a fairly small cohort, who just happen to leak into general society a lot.
Merry Christmas.
