amber ruffin is incredible and this is going to make a great bit for her
how about we just axe the white house correspondent entirely since they a) won’t stand up for their colleagues and b) won’t stand up to this administration or else they lose access.
the primary reason I stopped watching cable news since the election is the press being less than limp, weak, and feckless when it comes to anything dealing with republicans but somehow find their spines when a democrat is involved.
Bunch of wussies can’t laugh at themselves. The collective narcissism is astounding
Because somewhere in their deep recesses, they know just exactly who/what they really are…
So, when it’s pointed out to them, it’s not funny, it’s not making fun.
It’s truth. It’s a reminder.
If I didn’t know better I’d say the White House was filled with a bunch of thin skinned cry babies. /s
Weird Snowflakes
I’m pretty sure that’s how this all started… https://youtu.be/k8TwRmX6zs4
Coward press. Have the comedy but not the president.
I think that’s what they did during his first term, right? I remember him skipping the event altogether.
Bring Obama to just roast his ass for an hour instead. Not much else could get under his skin like that, unless you also get some Trump women to fawn over him the whole time.
They should have canceled the entire “White House Correspondents’ Dinner” and simply held a completely new event at the exact same time at the same venue with a different name, and kept the jokes at the president’s expense.
Comedy has been banned everyone, time to wrap it up.
Wittle baby doesn’t want the meany-weany comedian to hurt is fee-fees while he destroys the country.
Trump doesn’t even know what joy is, he can only laugh at cruelty.
Jon Stewart, et al, should host a competing event.
That’s because nothing is funny anymore
Amber Ruffin is a fucking national treasure.
The American Have I Got News For You is actually awesome IMO.
Evil can’t stand to be laughed at.
It’s quite possibly the reason he ran in the first place lol
He had run before that roast. But yeah i think it made him hate stand up, and reinforced his drive.
Yeah, he ran as part of Perot’s reform party lol
So fragile, they need to be treated very gently

Who sees what is happening in the white house and wants to crack jokes?
For the next four years, the Correspondent’s Dinner should be a wake, and not an Irish one.
Fascists can’t be argued with. They love when you get angry and yell at them. But they absolutely cannot stand to get laughed at. Go look up some quotes from Mel Brooks about why he thought it was important for the Hitler references in The Producers.
We should be doing a monthly nationally televised event where Trump, Musk, and the rest are ridiculed.
What about the other kind of Irish wake
Once again demonstrating their collective cowardice…
Obeying in advance. Can’t risk upsetting Don Mangolini. The Mafia Bully Admin wins again.
