Correspondence Dinner
I hate having reporters who are supposed to hold our leaders accountable get together for a love fest, whether it's Bush or Obama.

21. Broken but mending - after the Orthopedic Surgeon drained the fluid
I got massive relief from the pain and swelling and need neither cast or surgery.

Weird to feel a small piece of bone floating around in there, though......It'll either dissolve or be encapsulated..........

Still some clumsiness in the hand, but it;s getting better.....

Thanks for asking

2. Agreed. HOWEVER...
It was great to see Trump get hammered with a camera watching his reactions. He deserved every bit of the beatdown tonight.

3. I didn't see the love fest you are speaking of......The press were told to do their damn job......
in their face,
and Trump was told that he's a lightweight fool.

I think it was great.

And yes, these dinners that they have been having since who know when
are much better when Democrats are in office. That's just the way it is.

5. And
slavery was "just the way it is", women not voting "was just the way it is" and dying from scurvy "was just the way it is". Thanks for your insight.

6. That would be the Correspondents' Dinner?
And it wasn't a love fest. It was a righteous roast.

11. I guess I must have been watching the Correspondents' Dinner
while you were watching the Correspondence Dinner. Or else there's some other parallel universe where there was a love fest, 'cuz I sure didn't see it. I did see Donald Trump get his ass handed to him, though.

12. Reasons for disagreeing would be in order, or do you stamp
your foot when you say that?

13. If I was in the President's position...
...a lot of these correspondents would be getting a richly deserved dressing down.

14. I agree. The dinner is a horrible idea and compromises the fourth estate. nt

15. The Fourth Estate is way past being compromised.

They are hanging out on street corners wearing fishnet stockings and asking politicians if they want a date.
