CW: Politics. Balleoom & Bunker. Correspondents Dinner.
Content Note: #Politics
My takeaway from the #CorrespondentsDinner?
Trump wants a bunker. FAST.
Why?
It might take 4 years to complete.
But i'm betting a small hardened portion... big enough for family & friends?
Fast-Track City.
What's he up to?

"When Norah O’Donnell thanked the President for attending the dinner—after he had just called her a “disgrace” and a “horrible person” on national television—it highlighted the “abusive relationship” between the press and the presidency. The media is no longer a watchdog; it is a guest at the table, clutching stolen champagne bottles as the world burns outside."

"When Donald Trump fell to the floor, he later claimed to 60 Minutes that he was simply “looking around” to see what was happening. But the video tells a different story—one of a man who lost his footing, flanked by agents who were moving with the urgency of a Broadway usher."

"When gunshots rang inside the DuPont Circle Hilton—a building usually more fortified than a bunker during these events—the reaction from the political elite was not trauma, but indifference. While the average person would be heading for the exits, the D.C. establishment continued through their salad course.
The facts emerging from the aftermath are even more damning:
- Downgraded Security
- Protocols Ignored
- Performative Defense"https://thelefthook.substack.com/p/gunfire-at-wh-dinner-trumps-bizarre #Trump #WHCD #correspondentsdinner

"For the past 10 years, Donald Trump has revealed his grotesque cruelty, penchant for promoting lies over truth, and obscene disdain for democracy and freedom on a near-daily basis.
He hasn’t changed.
Despite his constant attacks against the press, corporate media remains wedded to him. In fact, the more he beats them up, the more they like it and say, “Thank you, may I have another?”

"The corporate-media reaction broke the other way. Wolf Blitzer told viewers he lost a shoe. He told viewers he thought the shooter was coming for him. “I said, just watch,” Ali said. “One of these corporate media reeks is going to make it all about themselves and talk like they’re in Fallujah. And right on cue, Wolf Blitzer.”

"I have never seen a government filing like this. It’s beyond parody, riddled with political hyperbole, and I’m very curious to see how Judge Leon responds to it."

Cole Tomas Allen is facing attempted assassination charges after breaching security at the Correspondents’ Dinner and targeting Trump administration officials. This wasn’t random. It was planned.

"There’s a certain kind of sentence that gets whispered in Washington like a password to a private club: “I was in the room.”
It’s meant to confer status. Importance. Relevance. Power by proximity.
On Saturday night at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, it was also a confession.
Because the truth is simple, unavoidable, and damning: no serious journalist should have been in that room at all."

White House reporters became the story as Correspondents’ Dinner turned into breaking news | The Independent
>In the aftermath, personal safety and professional duty blurred. The nation's most powerful reporters and editors grappled with events unfolding before, and often above, them. Many, in tuxedos and gowns, instinctively ducked for cover, driven by fear, bewilderment, or pure instinct.
>"We were under the table before we knew what was happening," wrote The Atlantic's Missy Ryan, Matt Viser and Michael Scherer of their experience.
>Emerging from cover, their mobile phones became essential tools. They captured images, recorded interviews and maintained open lines to describe the scene to off-site colleagues.

#CorrespondentsDinner #California
I hear the latest attempt on the lump was from a person from California.
It will be micro moments b4 Trump starts blaming CA for the Assassination attempt.
I’m hoping he decides to give us back to Mexico, (who we were stolen from). I can’t wait! We will have a lovely new female President, and Taco Tuesday every day! We will even help him build the wall!
( Oregon and Washington State will be so jealous). -

Bravo to whoever this dude is for pulling this together so quickly. Never has a conspiracy theory come with so much evidence.

There are 107 million gun owners in the US. All fucking useless, apparently. 🔫
About as accurate as Star Wars stormtroopers.#Trump #WhiteHouse #CorrespondentsDinner #SecretService #Evacuation

Okay. in the interest of honesty/accuracy, a freeze frame of the security footage shows he was NOT naked at the time he breached security (and was likely stripped after capture looking for weapons.)

After seeing the official photo of the captured shooter from last night's #CorrespondentsDinner, I wondered:
"Where is his shirt?"
Then a 2nd photo of the man showing him with a blanket covering him from the waist down:
"No pants either? How TF does a NAKED man with a gun sneak past security into an event attended by the #Potus & most of his top brass?" 🤨
