    This is interesting:

    Dinner criticisms

    The WHCD has been increasingly criticized as an example of the coziness between the White House press corps and the administration.[7] The dinner typically includes a skit, either live or videotaped, by the sitting president in which he mocks himself, for the amusement of the press corps.[7] The press corps, in turn, hobnobs with administration officials, even those who are unpopular and are not regularly cooperative with the press.[7] Increasing scrutiny by bloggers has contributed to added public focus on this friendliness.[7]

    After the 2007 dinner, New York Times columnist Frank Rich implied that the Times will no longer participate in the dinners.[8] Rich said that the event is "a crystallization of the press's failures in the post-9/11 era" because it "illustrates how easily a propaganda-driven White House can enlist the Washington news media in its shows."[8]

    In recent years, the dinners have drawn increasing public attention, and the guest list grows "more Hollywood".[3] The attention given to the guest list and entertainers often overshadows the intended purpose of the dinner, which is to "acknowledge award-winners, present scholarships, and give the press and the president an evening of friendly appreciation."[3] This has led to an atmosphere of coming to the event only to "see and be seen."[3] This usually takes place at pre-dinner receptions and post-dinner parties hosted by various media organizations, which are often a bigger draw and can be more exclusive than the dinners themselves.[9][10][11]

    In February 2017, President Donald Trump declined to attend that year's dinner. He will be the first president to skip the dinner since Ronald Reagan in 1981, who missed the dinner while recovering from an assassination attempt, but still delivered remarks over the phone.[12] Vice-President Mike Pence and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus will attend on his behalf.[13] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Correspondents'_Association

    No, today's "news media" is a hyper-partisan outfit, amounting to an unpaid public relations outfit for the DNC.
    Imagine what would have happened if the public knew that both JFK and RFK were screwing Marilyn Monroe?

    I'm hearing that no 'left leaning' celebrities would participate in the festivities. trump probably didn't want to suffer another embarrassment like the one at his inaugural parties. Now that he won't be there, I hope the talent will line up to poke fun at the coward.

    Couple his lack of a sense of humor, with the embarrassment he feels when he has to read in public, and you have a situation where the cowardly little orangutan would rather watch the event on t.v.
    I wonder if he has dyslexia. Or maybe needs reading glasses but is too conceited to wear them.

    The way he worded his comment suggested that most who come here are criminals. If he had said "most are good people but some are criminals" he wouldn't have to fight being called a xenophobe.

    “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

    Who the fuck are you kidding? You selling this 'garden variety' horseshit will garner exactly how many more THIS time? You recruting for retards, or will mentally ill criminals help your diversity?

    You put a 2017 spin on it and think you have a new fucking message, and that THIS time its going to work! Step aside. Your turn is over and all the tucking whining and bitching aside isn't doing much but demonstrating your complete inability to stay abreast and fucking aware of the majority of middle America and how nuclear pissed off we are.

    Fucked up elitist Middle Americans. They think Hollywood and big celebrities, state officials, VIP's actually value and respect them, when they couldn't tie their shoes without your allegiance and support.

    Up in your head with bowlshit and you keep asking for a spoon.

    Eat up.

    I might have mentioned that here. I believe he's too vain to wear glasses. He might have dyslexia too, as poor vision would not account for his extremely limited vocabulary.

    Yes...yes indeed. Do tell

    The last time her opponent, John Marino, ran in this district, in 2014, he lost by just 2 points. Hansen’s 58-42 percent victory over Marino on Saturday ensured that Democrats will maintain control of the state Senate. It also notched a big Donald Trump-era win for a new generation of Democratic activists shocked into action by the November election.

    “We turned back that win from Washington and made sure it won’t hit Delaware,” Hansen said in her victory speech Saturday night.

    While Hansen’s campaign was focused on local issues, she saw a huge swell of support after nationwide Women’s March protests on Jan. 21. Protesters, many of them out in the streets for the first time, have been turning their energy toward local and state politics. The first major election since the uprising was Delaware’s.

    Hansen’s campaign received huge support. More than 1,000 volunteers worked during the course of the campaign, and about 500 ― many from nearby states ― showed up Saturday for Election Day. Hansen received more than 14,000 contributions of less than $100 from small donors spread all over the country.

    “That’s more volunteers than I’ve had in nine elections,” exclaimed state Sen. Dave Sokola (D), of Hansen’s Election Day workers.

    ^ Lol.

    In a recent story about turmoil within the National Security Council, the New York Times noted Trump's preference for shorter briefing documents, reporting that "while Mr. Obama liked policy option papers that were three to six single-spaced pages, council staff members are now being told to keep papers to a single page, with lots of graphics and maps."

    This actually scares me. Recently, either Homeland Security, or DOD was pissed because they are forced to give briefings to selected staff, as opposed to POTUS.
