Trump's letter to Pelosi

Armatel mentioned this in comments today. The letter is posted on WhiteHouse.gov. Pelosi should know better than to troll a toll. He's going to cause wrinkles she can't stretch or spackle over.  We're seeing her completely outclassed, downward. She keeps mistaking Trump for a Republican and she keeps thinking her little reindeer games work on Santa Claus.
Dear Madame Speaker: 
Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over. In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate. I also feel that, during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the Shutdown. Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative. 
I look forward to seeing you soon and even more forward to watching our open and dangerous Southern Border finally receive the attention, funding, and security it so desperately deserves!
Petty. Childish. Ridiculous. And perfectly so.

Quick Draw McGraw...That took MrM and me way back-- Although I didn't grow up with a TV, we watched it at my Grandma's house and cottage. ElKabong was stashed so far back in the memory bank I wouldn't have found it without this prompt. MrM said, Didn't he have a sidekick? and that's when Queek Draw came up.

In certain cases, Quick Draw would also assume the identity of the masked vigilante El Kabong (a spoof of Zorro). His introduction went as follows – "Of all the heroes in legend and song, there's none as brave as El Kabong". As El Kabong, Quick Draw would attack his foes by swooping down on a rope with the war cry "OLÉ!" and hitting them on the head with an acoustic guitar (after shouting "KABOOOOOONG!"), which is always referred to as a "kabonger", producing a distinctive kabong sound and usually destroying the guitar in the process. The "guitar" was usually drawn as a four stringed quatro. On the cartoon's soundtrack, the "kabong" sound effect was produced by a foley artist striking the detuned open strings of a cheap acoustic guitar.
