Trump to attend White House Correspondent's Dinner, a good time, or a bad time?(Poll)

[Darkwind]

You know the terminology , you're really into this shit !

No, I"ve had to deal with little shits like you My whole life.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Apparently there will not be a comedian but a mentalist. Some are suggesting this is the only way Trump would do the show as he does not like the viciousness of the jokes (which have been particularly vicious against GOP of late).

In the old days the jokes were there but there was some decorum. I recall the jokes made against Sarah Sanders which were particularly cruel. Some of us can handle that but others may not enjoy it.

At least my shit doesn't stink. i eat healthy and my bms are healthy too. Can't say that about old grease bucket trump. His skin is crying out for help too. Such a crime. Just another one on his list.

 

[Muhammed]

I'm sure he knows he is stepping into the "lion's den".

But I think that the "mentalist" will entertain more than roast Trump.

Or steal state secrets by reading his mind....

Apparently there were gun shots a few minutes ago, outside the main ballroom where the metal detectors are located.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Karoline Leavitt was speaking to a reporter before it began and said there would be shots fired, figuratively speaking, and then literally an hour later real shots were fired.

 

[Billiejeens]

Secret Service fired at someone attempting to bum rush through the metal detector
Reportedly.

Let's just hope this near mass shooting event causes the future cancellation of the useless, not funny White House Correspondence Dinner PERMANENTLY.

No, they will have them in the new ballroom with better security.

Jokes against what was the republican party. How soon we forget it's demise.

I agree it's mostly boring. But it's a good tradition ( since 2922 ) . It is the annual fundraiser of the association. Basically a " Nerd Prom " not for everyone.Easy solution , don't attend or watch it. It will do just fine without you. This will be the first time trump will attend it. Sure he will soon realize it's not his cup of tea. It you have to appreciate what it represents to enjoy it. trump has always lashed out at journalism when it speaks of his wrongdoings. trump prefers constrained journalism which never is allowed to detract from his agenda. I'm surprised he went at all.

I don’t know if it’s a good or bad idea to attend those dinners.

But I find them pretty tedious, tonight’s incident notwithstanding.

After the incident was over Trump held a press conference and said he was going to lower the boom on the "fake news" outlets, but then softened his tone. He also said he wants it rescheduled in about 30-days. So here we go again...

[hjmick]

Was that Pirro?!!

 

[The Duke]

No thread on this yet? I'm sure it will be interesting. I hope Trump leaves his baggage in the WH and is funny. The mentalist is really good.
I expect a good time will be had by all. It starts 8pm Saturday...

It will be re-scheduled within May, stay tuned.
Trump says this proves why we need the ultra-secure new ballroom.

trump prefers constrained journalism

Yes, President Trump prefers that US journalists be CONSTRAINED by the Journalistic Oath that demands true independence from Party affiliations. A 'Free and Independent Press' should operate as a watchdog for the people. What we have is near total polarization of the Press with 90+ percent pushing the anti-Trump, Woke Democrat narratives.

Yea, good or bad, the press should tell the truth and nothing but the truth. But they don't. They lie about Trump and every republican, ignore democrat issues and problems, and push narratives.

That is NOT what "freedom of the press" means.
