We'd been wondering if Scrotus would have the balls to attend the WHCD. Obviously not.

Scrotus is acting like a petulant child, pulling out of the party because he knows he wont have many friends there. Boohoo!

There's a YouTube available of the last one. I would have posted a link but it was pre-election so would have needed too many Mavis Alarms. You can find it yourselves, doubtless.

Even a close friend of my acquaintance, a hard-bitten soul, was given to say, spontaneously and admiringly, 'God that guy can really handle them.'

Saw Patriot Barbie interviewed at the start of CPAC but it was soooo nauseating had to turn it off halfway through.

Appalled at Betty deV's game plan.

thanks for update. Just caught up.

Oh Crap, is the left going to split?:

#DNCChair now that @TomPerez has been elected it's time for all @BernieSanders supporters to create our own party! #DemExit #DraftBernie

I doubt it.

But it's partly why I think they need a prospective candidate sooner rather than later. Preferably someone young and clean-cut.

Why are pp upset about Perez?

Jon Snow from C4 news:

Distressed to find that we have not been banned from the White House: We are working in it...

Destinys

Possibly regarded as a bit centrist and establishment compared to Ellison.

I will not be attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!

Bless - we know, he told us.

If I were on the WHCA committee, I'd now be inviting all those stars who 'didn't attend' eg the Inaugural Ball and linked celebrations.

The really big question is, though, would I invite any other WH staff or Breitbart.?

On balance, I think I would.

You know how Morgan retweets and criticises people who make spelling mistakes when they tweet at him.

US media will be absolutely seething President Trump's quit the #WHCD before they could alll pull out & humiliate him.

Ooops

Is it OK if I post this, poor girl's dad died 6 years ago and she is now in a detention centre, it's Britain, but so like what's happening in US, or worse?.

^Thousands of people have signed a petition to stop the deportation of a Bangor University student.
Shiromini Satkunarajah, 20, who was born in Sri Lanka but has lived in the UK for eight years, is due to finish her electrical engineering degree this summer.
She was arrested on Tuesday and taken to a detention centre to await deportation on 28 February^

Now now, ami. Poor guy probably typed in a rush.

I can't bear to watch videos of these awful pp, makes me want to throw things!

Have to go and calm down by watching this

Seeing lots of stuff like this on Twitter tonight.

From the BBC article on Scrotus ducking out of the correspondants dinner:

"Every sitting president since 1924 has attended the correspondents' dinner at least once, according to the New York Times.
They traditionally make a light-hearted speech at the annual event. Former US President Barack Obama attended eight times."

I love the fact Obama went to every one he could. I bet he'd be there this year if he could but I expect it's not 'the done thing' to invite him, particularly given the Emperor is not attending.

Loving the fact that the NY sighting of Obama showed him just loving life - the lack of stress on him right now must be so utterly wonderful (and so deserved!)

Trumpy went to the 2016 one when he was a candidate.

I never realised that the WHCA dinner is held, primarily, to raise funds for young journalist scholarships. I do trust that the President will give a sizeable and personal contribution to the fund despite not being able to attend?

They want a candidate, I reckon, Destinys. Sanders is 75 though.

And they liked his Twitter maceration of Trump this evening.
