The Correspondents’ Dinner attack revealed how casually Washington put the president, vice president, House speaker, and top successors behind one perimeter.
It seems to me we're missing something. It's certainly true that in theory, it was breathtakingly careless and thoughtless to have the whole government leadership in one room, mostly at one table. The exception was the president pro tempore of the senate, who wasn't there.
But to me, the larger question is why this keeps happening. I'm aware of Butler, PA, and two days ago, but I hear various clown sycophants talk about "three" attempts. So I looked it up. According to a site that calls itself "Factually," but cautions that it's not always right (so not reliably factual), there have been six attempts, starting as far back as June, 2016.
My daughter likes to quote her grandfather (my late father), who said that when you think everyone else is the problem, then you're the problem. Matt Damon's character in "Rounders" put it a different way: if you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour of poker, then you're the sucker.
So our princess, the clown, can't for an instant stop talking about her White House ballroom as a method of security, which she says we've needed for 150 years (so why hasn't anyone built one, especially during Truman's term, when extensive White House renovation was done?). But the more important question is why no one ever tried three times, or six times, to assassinate the president. Is the problem DC/government security, or is it the president, who is now the princess?
If you continue to push people to their limit with your incompetence, evil bigotry, hatred and lies then some people are going to reach their limit of tolerance and act on it. It's kind of obvious I think ...
Cheney/W were bad. The worst ever, I thought at the time. Nixon was bad. No attempt was made on any of them. Reagan was bad (and was only shot once). Some others have been shot once, and some have died. Not one has been attacked more than once, to my knowledge, and certainly not three or six times.
I realize that there has been talk that the attacks on the princess were staged. Maybe so. But it's still a lot of attacks.
I just learnef that there were numerous attempts on President Obama’s life. You should research that if this subject interests you. A nightmare no matter what …
It probably doesn't interest me. This is a very racist country, and I wouldn't be surprised if some people considered his terms, and him, unacceptable. Did anyone make contact?
It will be my great pleasure to have tax dollars used to raze the princess' ballroom (is she expecting a prince to show up?), and remove her name from every place where it now appears.
Has anyone else seen the conversation caught on video with two Fox News people chuckling at the lack of rigor in screening the doors? It's quite illuminating. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IVVQWHwGeL4
"Washington" didn't do it...Trump's Security staff did it.. Boo hoo. He ousted all the competent individuals in every category on every level. He owns it. He owns it all.
We can narrate and re-narrate Trump’s BS till the cows come home. We can point out the discrepancies the contradictions the hidden agendas etc all day long. Many of us know that he’s a loser and is taking over our democracy courtesy of the big tech bro boys. The time for merely pointing this all out has passed us and he must be forcibly removed along with his entire corrupt cabinet. Start to send a message politely and participate in the May Day Nationwide Workers Strike.
It's called Hubris. Pretty simple and right in front of your fucking eyes. If the Trump government isn't the textbook definition of that word then I'll eat a Big Mac.
As always, you do not disappoint with your coverage of yet another incident providing further proof of how incompetent this regime is. Not that we need more proof, we already have more than enough. They do not know how to do anything correctly and certainly do not concern themselves with the well being of this country because they do not care about this country or us. It is all about them and only them.
But there is something else I cannot help think about. The sad, disgraceful truth to all this incompetent lack of following protocol is that in this case it really doesn't matter who was in that room. There is not one competent person among them capable of leading this country - not one, especially the one who supposedly is the president. Any one of countless people in government positions could do a better job leading the country than any of these individuals. That is the truth.
And because the constant lies being told to us have eroded our trust, of course we cannot help but question the validity of anything to do with this event. Obviously if they stock "the room" with all the important people, no one would ever suspect a deliberate event for the sake of getting the go ahead for his "ballroom" and dropping the lawsuit. Or the ratings if this regime continue to plummet, we need to appeal to the public's sympathetic side and make ourselves victims - once again. It is not as though the tactic of distraction hasn't been used throughout this term - because it certainly has.
Face it, we will never know the truth about anything. So stay alert, analyze everything and keep an open mind and most of all stay informed with Substack ...

One, cabinet had no need to be there, 2 not government function, won't ever be held in ballroom
3 it's not something anyone wants
4 now tax dollars to keep president safe when he's the cause of all problems
5 he will be gone anyway so no vanity for a destroyed administration.
Randy, I only agree with your points 1 through 5.
It will be my great pleasure to have tax dollars used to raze the princess' ballroom (is she expecting a prince to show up?), and remove her name from every place where it now appears.
If it smells like a fish and looks like a fish i would say it is fishy

This was a press event, not a presidential event. So the ba llroom is a moot point. Their incompetence is why they were all there.
I guess no-one in the totally incompetent Trump administration ever watched Designated Survivor 🤷♀️
Ballroom? Are you kidding?
Maybe the people should care more about the gun laws? The root cause for all this violence.g

Thank you for the kind words. You are correct we no longer trust our government!
