As guests scanned the room at a Friday party hosted by United Talent Agency, a mainstay of the White House correspondents’ dinner weekend, their eyes eventually — finally — fell upon a famous face. “From ‘The White Lotus’!!!” screamed a woman in a blunt-cut black bob. Sedate is a good word for this year’s dinner. No comedian. No president. Very few celebrities, aside from your odd “White Lotus” dad, “Family Guy” mom or “Breaking Bad” uncle. If you were very lucky, you might spy Bill Nye the Science Guy. For years, critics have been saying that this weekend is a bloated and opulent celebrity petting zoo, and that the dinner exhibited too much excess and coziness between the elites in the press and the government. Politicians are just actors who are too ugly to make it in Hollywood. This dinner is ridiculous, anyway. The only people who care about it are the msm and politicians. Walking a red carpet, ayfkm? |
I don't know if you noticed it but we're not, as a town, in a party mood right now. |
Yeah, everyone is bummed because a republican won. Democracy is DYiNg In daRkneSs because a republican won. |
Democrats are always supposed to win the presidency. Every single election.
When you were in high school, they didn’t teach you that fact? America is a representative republic built upon the core value that democratic candidates always win. If democratic candidates lose, it’s because voters are stupid, putin is rigging elections, everyone is racist. |
No. It is dying in darkness because this particular republican ( a convicted felon and lifelong con man) won. Nikki Haley would have been a sensible choice. |
Yeah, if only it was that simple. |
I guess you haven’t noticed that he’s attacking America. Everything he’s done has damaged us. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2025-trump-putin-policy/ |
Trump was too scared to attend and the WHCA was too scared to allow a comedian to roast him, so there was very little point to the dinner other than to raise money for scholarships. |
He’s so unbelievably fragile. |
Invite Joe Rogan and people will pay attention again. |
