@MAGAVoice It was also noted on two news networks today that Trump and the king are related separated by 15 generations.

He had no authority to tear down the East Wing, he has no authority to build a ballroom, the White House belongs to the American people, not him, he’s trying to build a palace, we don’t do fucking palaces in America. What I said months ago still stands - the 2028 Democratic nominee had better pledge to tear that fucking ballroom down. And then do it immediately after being sworn in.

I’m a therapist. Widows ABSOLUTELY do everything Erika has done here. We encourage grieving people to get out of the house, take advantage of distractions, and become active in a cause, especially one tied to their deceased loved one if it makes them feel empowered.

@carsonkrow Widows don't do what Erika has done. Erika is a gross example of what not to aspire to be.

@JasonJournoDC She never mentioned his name, he had a choice on how to respond. He did say he knew she would ask.
1) Why didn't he have a prepared statement?
2) He could of even of said, I have no comment its a active investigation.
He decided to lash out personally, as if he was guilty.

💥NEW: Bill O'Reilly *NUKES* Norah O'Donnell💥
"O'Donnell had NO cause to read the ramblings of a loon. NONE!"
"Yet she tried to humiliate the President of the United States — who was just ATTACKED!"
"The President was absolutely 100% correct in saying to Miss O'Donnell — who I know — 'You should be ashamed of yourself of reading that.'"
"And she should be — but she's NOT!"
"Talk about MALPRACTICE! My God!"

People are perplexed that the shooter seemed to be a somewhat normal guy, with an education and a job.
As a Conservative who has been living near DC for 15 years, this isn’t perplexing at all. If you could hear the way Leftists talk about Trump and his supporters, especially when they think there are no Trump supporters around, none of this would surprise you.
They actually believe Trump is Hitler, and they actually believe violence is justified against Trump and his supporters. This is not some fringe belief, this is widespread. They openly and unapologetically fantasize about Republican politicians being assassinated. They are proud of it.
You could ask any Leftist on the street in DC if they wish any of the assassination attempts on Trump were successful, and they will look you straight in the eye and say “absolutely”. Just like they openly rooted for us to die during Covid.
A great sickness infects these people, and I don’t think those who live outside the cities have any idea just how much these Leftists hate you and want you to die. The shooter was not some fringe activist. He is just a regular Leftist who acted on the thoughts and conversations that all of them have been conditioned to have, due to the 24/7 exposure to anti-Trump propaganda from every bit of media they consume.
They are heavily brainwashed.

You missed one thing…the precise timing of the person that caught that woman supposedly upset that wanted to go home. How was that one person still-waiting for her to pass that one spot-that woman- she just happens to be the worst actress ever and needed to make this about herself. How did she make it out before everyone else at her table? She was seated with Harris from Fox News. Why wasn’t she allowed to evacuate with her too? This is why it seems so staged. We don’t trust anything anymore and we shouldn’t. We question everything and you should too including that awful woman you saw that didn’t seem to shed that many tears for her dead husband!

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.

@RepJeffries There were pregnant women in that ballroom . Folks could have been hurt by the chaos .

America will not be lectured about civility by far right extremists in Congress.
Particularly those who provide aid and comfort to hundreds of violent rioters who brutally beat police officers on January 6.
There will be ample time to vigorously debate the issues of the day.
Now is a time to unify.

For those overly captured by political propaganda, just know you can easily talk yourself into this. This man threw his whole life away because he was told to be scared. Fear causes humans to do three things: run, we have literally had people buy so much into fear porn that they have fled the country; hide, we have people who avoid turning on the news, figuratively fearing the big bad orange man is going to come through the TV and is actually causing them personal harm, or hide from family members fearing they will try to convert you into some MAGA cult; or fight, those who allow the manufactured hatred to take root in their heart and choose violence as the answer to stop someone that media manipulation told you was harming you. Take a second to sit down, breathe, and if you fit into any of these categories, it’s really time to seek professional help. I’m not being facetious; I’m actually saying this because I care. Get some help so you don’t end up like this man, who had so much potential and completely threw his entire life away.
