The WHCD is not a state event. And this seems to be the equivalent of a shooter rushing a White House gate. So, if that happens, the POTUS never leaves the bunker? Is that the reasoning here?President Trump says tonight’s shooting at the WHCD is a clear example of why we need a need a new ballroom for The White House pic.twitter.com/a6dzeH9nyB

MS NOW was reporting before anyone knew anything that Trump was taken back to the White House, and if the dinner went on (no one knew then), it would be without him.Trump: We're not going to cancel things out because we can't do that. We wanted to stay tonight, I will tell you, I, I fought like hell to stay, but it was protocol—they said, please, sir… pic.twitter.com/fPjAT0A5Ij

I should have just started with that.every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

Every few months? Sometimes it's a mass shooting every few days that we're told to fergettaboutit. The WHCD is and always has been an indictment of that profession of liars and right-wing-state propagandists. If they had any integrity they would never socialize with those they allegedly cover.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Warner Bros cartoon where the coyote and the sheepdog show up at the time clock, have a friendly chat, and punch in. The coyote spends the day trying to catch sheep and the sheepdog repeatedly thrashes him soundly. At 5 o'clock they meet again at the time clock, have another friendly chat, and punch out.
ReplyDeleteThe White House press corps is the coyote in this scenario
