White House Correspondents Dinner

[Bullseye]

The White House Correspondents dinner is an annual even that generally has the President making a speech in which he addresses the Free Press.

Below is the last one that Obama did:



Interesting to note that Trump has now been invited twice but chose not to go and address the free press.

Here is a speech that Trump gave about Social Media.



If you see and hear both of these speeches you can see the stark difference in what is a man (Obama) that has humor, caring, and is presidential to one who has no humor, is ego driven, and is a clown.

Here is another video about Trump and his comments about the free press:

Easy to make a speech like Obama's when you come with a couple of dozen hickies on your butt from the adoring press.

There has always been an expectation that the press would be at least somewhat fair and exhibit journalistic professionalism. That hasnt been the case since about mid 2015.

Look...the press HATES Trump. Trump has no love for the press. Both the media and Trump are douchebags. So why hold an event that everyone knows is a farce?

The 4th estate is required to print facts, but the Trump administration prefers an alternate reality. Fox News has gotten tired of carrying water for him and they are telling the truth about his incompetence.

while i think that they should just cancel the event until we have a normal president again, there is an alternative : have the correspondents dinner at a different site and invite Obama as the keynote speaker. Tweety would get so mad that he'd probably try to figure out the nuke codes. that would be some next level trolling right there.

I like that idea.

So when are they going to begin? Checked how your pension plan is doing lately? That Trump's "incompetency" in action.

My keyboard is fine. I just bought it a few weeks go.

If you want facts to try the BBC or NPR. You don't want the truth. Instead, you want your media sources to tell you that your opinions are factual. You want an echo chamber.

 

[Bullseye]

trump's lack of maturity and intelligence will not allow him to laugh at himself. He just can't take the heat.

Or, why waste time talking to hundreds of people who hate you and earn their livings disparaging every thing you do and are doing their best to keep you from winning the next election?

The press doesn't work for politicians. They arent their PR staff. They are professionally required to be independent.

 

[Bullseye]

The point of the White House Correspondents Dinner is to communicate the President's value for a free and independent press. Since the President puts no such value on free and independent news, the White House Correspondents Dinner is meaningless. Having it is a farce and should be shelved until we have a President that values democratic principles again.

I'm sure if we ever get back to a free and independent press Trump will accept the invitation and attend. As long as it's a meaning of antagonistic doctrinaire propagandists it's not worth his time.

LOL, wanna buy a bridge? You're talking the theoretical press that's supposed to report not proselytize; in real life they fail miserably on that count. The editor in chief of the NYT TOLD his editors and reporters to forget Trump's alleged Russian conspiracy as a theme and concentrate on his alleged racism and white supremacy. That sound like professional independence to you?

 

[Bullseye]

The GOP rejects reality and truth and has its own propaganda outlet in Fox News for their alternate facts. Donald Trump wants a state news outlet like his buddy Vlad Putin and Kim in North Korea have.

Yeah, Vlad's such a buddy Trump is using our oil and natural gas production to choke off the Russian economy.

They are telling the truth.

Trump's racist rhetoric has encouraged white nationalism to new heights not seen in almost 50 years.

 

[Bullseye]

Liberals triggered over the startling discovery that Trump isn't Obama...

You'd think they would have figured this out by now.

And imagine their shock when they found out he was President Elect! :2bigcry:

Nonsense; more crap you absorbed from the LW media.

All presidents in modern history have done it, including W. Bush - and he was really unpopular after he got America into Iraq. trump is simply the most thin-skinned and most childish president in history.

"But, mommy, all the other kids are doing it." that's your best argument. Bush wasn't viscerally hated by the attendees to the level Trump is. And Trump takes no **** and puts up no pretenses; Bush was a career politician who that he HAD to make nice with people who hated him.

Foghorn Leghorn.. LOL that takes me back a ways! I think he's more like Alex Jones with a Queens, NY accent!

My theory was that Trump combines Foghorn Leghorn with Mussolini. He’s a dictator wannabe, his MAGA message was like Mussolini’s longing for some past Italian greatness. And like Foghorn and Benito, Trump is comically self-unaware. People here have suggested that Trump believes America was great in the 1950s, but I don’t know if he has been asked or responded to the question. But the fifties fits, good and bad: a blue collar worker might be able to support a family with the wife not working (back when unions were strong, rarely mentioned), but it wasn’t a great time if you were a minority or female in the job market. The fifties, an aberration in recent western history, probably won’t be coming back, but one can still dream of Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and imagine playing centerfield for the NY Yankees when they ruled the baseball world and being married to the sexiest actress around. That’s the snake oil Trump sells.

I didn't say that, but it is a "President's" job to bring the whole country together, tRump has done everything but. In fact no President, ever before has made it his policy to be as divisive and possible.

Trump has not made that his policy and no president has brought the "whole" country, with the possible exception of GW Bush who had like a 90% approval rating after 9/11.

 

[yankintx]

Another boo-hoo thread from the liberals ... how original. :lol:

You should give your boy Rump one of those tissues. Rump won't attend as he has no sense of humor, unless its in a HS locker room.

 

[yankintx]

Oh, I don't know why he wouldn't go. Maybe its the fact that it isn't a presidential roast anymore but a political hit show.

Or maybe its what Liberals think are jokes, like

Trump is so broke he had to borrow money from the Russians and now he’s compromised and susceptible to blackmail and possibly responsible for the collapse of the Republic.

“When I first saw those ***** hats I thought, “That’s supposed to be a *****?

“There’s a lot of people that want me to talk about Russia and Putin and collusion, but I’m not going to do that because there’s also a lot of liberal media here and I’ve never really wanted to know what any of you look like when you orgasm.

Mike Pence is very anti-choice. He thinks abortion is murder, which, first of all, don’t knock it till you try it. And when you do try it, really knock it. You know, you’ve got to get that baby out of there.


You guys are going through Cabinet members quicker than Starbucks throws out black people.”

Every time Sarah steps up to the podium I get excited, because I’m not really sure what we’re going to get—you know, a press briefing, a bunch of lies, or divided into softball teams. “It’s shirts and skins, and this time don’t be such a little bitch, Jim Acosta!”

She burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye.

Is it Sarah Sanders, is it Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is it Cousin Huckabee, is it Auntie Huckabee Sanders? Like, what’s Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women?

“Like an immigrant who was brought here by his parents and didn’t do anything wrong, I’ve got to get the **** out of here. Good night.”

This is what the correspondence dinner has devolved into? This is the Liberal idea of appropriate jokes? When you have journalist walking out of the dinner for the first time in history and you think this is acceptable behavior, you have lost all sense or reality. Its nothing more than a disgusting show of how far, how radical, and how desperate the left has become.

Stop foaming at the mouth, and lighten up. Is that not what everyone is told when Rump utters one of his idiotic statements and he later claims it was a joke.

Take your pill like a snowflake.

[Nickyjo]

Trump stopped going because he didn't want to spend an evening pretending to be friends with a room full of people who are openly hostile to him.

Can't say I blame him.

Gee, I wonder why the media might be hostile to the man of 2000 lies? Don't they realize that he is "the first," "the only," "the best?" After all, he had the largest electoral college win since Reagan. Just ask him.

LOL. So the media isn't biased, and they are but it's justified because TRUMP! Is that about right?

Defaming, lying and name calling Liberals IS tRumps most consistent policy. I think Washington, FDR and Kennedy did a great job of uniting our Nation.
