@FallofRome @atrupar Simple. 86 means to fire someone. An old restaurant term.

Simple. It is law that you cannot threaten the President. Comey thought he was cute, protected by free speech, but didn’t do his research. There is also a SCOTUS ruling in favor of the statute and tossing the free speech argument. You have to start somewhere. G men got Capone on taxes.

the new 2-page James Comey indictment is laughably thin. How in God's name did a grand jury vote to bring charges here? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

I have Been To 2. You?

@SemperFi0101 @SUBRATA30016572 She’s so classy.

@SUBRATA30016572 I will always stand behind My First Lady. Melania Trump is a one of our warriors and her MAGA family has her back. God Bless our Warrior

Drop a❤👍 if you support Melania Trump against Jimmy Kimmel!!

@ReallyAmerican1 @mmpadellan Who? Mango Mussolini?

Acting US AG Todd Blanche delivering brazenly partisan remarks, complains about people "calling the president horrible names for no reason, without evidence."

@gothburz @freddyvandam300 I’d take the wine too. It was meant to be consumed.

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.

@RpsAgainstTrump Fuck him.

Senator John Fetterman: “After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these.”

@TheMediaMan10 @JoJoFromJerz @cmclymer @MikeNellis But, but, Biden!

@JoJoFromJerz @cmclymer @MikeNellis Says the women that wouldn’t let any one question the Afghanistan withdrawal. Or Biden’s mental decline.. or Hunter Biden’s laptop.. JO JO is such a joke!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Folks... tonight was not a false flag. It was a very stupid individual carrying out a very stupid act. This was a real assassination attempt. Please don't fall down these rabbit holes of conspiracy nonsense. They aren't helpful. You can despise Trump and also acknowledge reality.

@tullsaysthisx @JoJoFromJerz @cmclymer @MikeNellis You have no idea what treason is.

@JoJoFromJerz @cmclymer @MikeNellis That’s great you stupid BITCH! Now, you are supporting the assassination of the President of the United States! You should be locked up IMMEDIATELY! Questioning his policies is one thing, what you are saying is TREASONOUS!

@For_Film_Fans @Pajjr2016 Paul Newman was so hot.

Paul Newman and Clint Eastwood met by chance at a motel in Tucson, Arizona in 1972. Terry O’Neil was there to record it.

@Kellyring @mmpadellan

Seriously, how mentally deranged and soulless do you have to be to think it was staged? Really? I despised Biden - it nauseated me to see or hear his voice. But never had I ever wanted an assasination. Morally wrong and it’s not behavior or principles our country was founded on. The left needs to do some self eval.

A lot of people are saying they think the WHCD shooting was staged, as a way to change the narrative from his abysmal approval ratings and his bumbling of the Iran War. What do YOU think? Staged or not staged?

I stand with Trump. Do you?

@notcryin @Martina Are you blind? What reflection?

@Martina Since the only swimming pools you people have ever seen are apparently at Motel 6, here is what a dark blue bottom pool looks like. And, OMG! There’s a reflection!

Fake blue coloring means it’s not a reflective pool at all anymore.

@KBinSC @TomJChicago

Reports are Trump will be “humiliating” members of the press at tonight’s correspondents dinner. Wrong. Trump doesn’t get to humiliate anyone. He is a convicted felon, traitor and child rapist with dementia. He lost the Iran war. He’s an international embarrassment. The humiliation is all his.

@RFBurke63 @TheRickWilson Triggered, snowflake? 😂

@TheRickWilson The “no” side was up by ten points with 40% of the vote in. If this was reversed you’d be shrieking “FRAUD” from the rooftops, you stinky little monkey. Nobody does hypocrisy like a shitlib. How are your pedo friends at “The Lincoln Project” doing, you filthy deviant pig?

The voters of Virginia have spoken. Cry harder, MAGA.

@zitothebugman @Omid_M @WSJ What a joke. Get help for your TDS.

Absolute trash. Believe this garbage, and you'll wake up not knowing what hit you. Trump is the most clever and strategically brilliant mind you dopes have ever dealt with. You thought you'd taken him out a dozen times over, yet here we are... Who are the unhinged, directionless losers now?!?

In this damning piece, the @WSJ explains how Trump’s war with Iran has become deeply personal: public bravado, private anxiety; tactical strikes, strategic drift; dramatic threats, improvised diplomacy, using insults as a tactic to bring Iranians to the negotiating table and screaming at aids. Constant desire to change subjects. Being angry at allies. Even his threat to destroy Iranian “civilization” was made without prior coordination with his national security team. A series of miscalculations. This is a portrait of a commander driven less by strategy than impulse, optics, and fear of failure. This is very disturbing. wsj.com/politics/natio…

@Crowenation4547 @S_Fitzpatrick @TheAtlantic Suing would be great. Discovery is going to destroy the drunken fool.

@S_Fitzpatrick @TheAtlantic And now you’re going to be sued for defamation due to the fact that nothing in your article is factual and you knew it ahead of time yet still published it. Brilliant. When will you learn this kind of bullshit isn’t covered under the 1A?

EXCLUSIVE: Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking. I spoke with more than 2 dozen people with knowledge of his conduct, some of whom described it as a national security vulnerability. @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

@dogdog30344 @mmpadellan Why do you hate America?

@mmpadellan The level of a democrats TDS shows when they post anything concerning THE PRESIDENT , Donald Trump , no matter how petty and ridiculous it may be. Here is proof.

That stance and that spacing… somebody smelled something.💩😖

@jjauthor You are fake news

Michigan cheated. Arizona cheated Colorado cheated Nevada cheated. Louisiana cheated Washington cheated. California cheated.

@SUBRATA30016572 How about a fuck you?
