@MCarbonaraFL I’m pretty sure that happened during World War 11

🚨 FACT CHECK: AOC blames firms like Deloitte for “polluting rivers”… Deloitte is an accounting firm, ma'am. It is almost laughable how incompetent you can be and still hold office in this country.

@hashjenni Non American trying to stir the pot in America… stay in your lane.

Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during his two terms. We don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired. The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass. A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed. Everything else was improvised. I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76. What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation. I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one. She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure. The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet. The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent. That's priority. The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago. A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced. That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details. I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column. I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously. 188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken. A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

@ImMeme0 Minnesota… do better!

Rep. Ilhan Omar: “The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked… during World War ELEVEN.” She must have gotten her education in the Quality Learing Center.

I get a lot of ppl asking me to trade different contracts because they are too expensive for their “smaller” accounts. This is my 18 yr old Nephew’s account he had about 3k at start of the year last year. He’s been trading for about 2 years. Ive been coaching and sharing my trades with him that entire time. He doesn’t take every trade Idea I do and he takes some of his own trades as well. If he can do it so can you 🫡.

@ChrisDJackson @JoeBiden

Who else misses the boring, no-drama days of @JoeBiden? No chaos. No circus. No daily embarrassment. Just quiet competence from a president who actually knew how to do the job.

There is something disgusting and outrageous about the fact that the secret service agents who saved lives saturday night have not been paid in 60 days. The House and Senate should be locked like a papal conclave and kept in the Capitol until they pass the money for Homeland Security. This is a horrible way to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary

@EWErickson Aunt this point, he’d probably be happy to get his paycheck

That guy should never have to buy a drink again.

I am so deeply sick of Jimmy Kimmel and the hate he spreads in the world.

@dsonoiki Might want to ask for a refund on that law degree

lawyer here if you try to kill the president and miss, it’s not a crime there’s no such charge as “attempted assassination” and it was in DC? this guy will walk

This is sad

@Milajoy Or at least vote to get him paid.

Guy in the crowd jumps up and stands in front of Trump. Every American should buy this guy a drink.

Reminder: Secret Service has been unfunded for more than 70 days now.

If you’re wondering what side I’m on, it’s the one that doesn’t kill people over politics.

@CoffindafferFBI This actually brought tears to my eyes… the terror in her face 🥲🙏

@tedlieu If only congress worked 10% as hard as the President

There is something mentally wrong with the President of the United States. There is also something physically wrong with the President of the United States. trump can’t stay awake at public events with the cameras rolling. Imagine what he’s like when there are no cameras.
