Sinkhole opens up a block from the White House. Yes, another one.
It figures that in the midst of the longest government shutdown in American history, the earth would literally open up a block from the grounds of White House.
Yet another sinkhole — a depression in the ground caused by a collapse of land — has opened up in Washington D.C., this time just a block from the presidential residence.

It's the second sinkhole to open up near the White House within the last 12 months, following the hell portaldepression that showed up in the White House's North Lawn in May 2018.
And thatfollowed the sinkhole that appeared right outside Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida exactly a year before in May 2017.
Of course, everyone couldn't help but joke about our newest Washington sinkhole.
