Until last night President Trump had never attended the White House correspondence dinner as President.
Oddly himself and nearly his entire cabinet attended this one, the one where there was an assassination attempt.
Oh and Erika Kirk, left her home and her babies flew from AZ to DC to attend this and then after the shooting she begs to go home on camera, when that is where she should have been in the first place.
Made for TV movie, that's what this is.
A Farce in Four Acts:
1. Trump skipped the WHCD every single year.
2. Except this one.
3. All of a sudden there’s a shooter in the lobby.
4. Trump: “This shooting is a clear example of why we need a new ballroom!”
It hardly gets any dumber than this.
How do you ‘sane’ wash this? Seriously? How? There is nothing Joe Biden ever said - literally nothing - as dishonest, deluded, ridiculous, embarrassing, as this.
To be clear: while Republicans on this hellsite smear Zohran Mamdani as linked to Al Qaeda and 9/11, their Dear Leader is pardoning by a guy who was convicted, in part, for allowing Al Qaeda and ISIS to move money using his company:
When I was 12 there was a propane gas leak in my house and a spark caused an explosion. My single mother was in the house, suffered brain damage, and became permanently disabled after that. We relied on food stamps to get by for a bit.
I've gone on to have a great career and now pay far more in taxes every year than it took to feed me and my family in our time of need.
I'm so grateful to live in a country that takes care of people like that. Everyone goes through tough times, and a little help can go a long way towards getting them back on their feet.
Some people are honored to help children learn, or help the sick heal, or help the dispossessed fight for justice. Others are honored to have played a small role in giving lying criminals a chance to prey on society again, so long as they are Republicans.
George Santos pleaded guilty to identity theft and wire fraud, a small part of his lying and stealing that really hurt people.
Trump says it plainly: crimes don’t count if you “vote Republican.”
Just like his pardons of those who violently attacked police.
Naked corruption.
They sent unidentified, masked officers to grab a student off the street, shipped her to a prison over a thousand miles away, and tried to deport her, all because she coauthored an OpEd in a college newspaper
This is trash. We’ve moved from “fire people who celebrate murder” to “fire people who explicitly condemn murder but express opinions I dislike.” Illiberal snowflakery. Get a grip.
JB Pritzker: "To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story. This is not a time to fall back into the reflexive crouch that I so often see."
