This is UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE! The White House correspondent's association canceled the comedian they booked because Trump admin complained she had mocked Trump in the past! This SURRENDER by media, law firms, corporations is NEVER going to save them. Appeasement of fascists ALWAYS fails!

I hope this thing will be ignored. I have doubts that so-called ‘resisters’ can resist the compulsion to share anything visually or in print about this fascist fiasco. To be ignored.

Everyone saw this coming.

hopelaughlove.bsky.social•80 days ago

who would even attend this?

watchyourrepssc.bsky.social•80 days ago

I won't watch until we have a new president.

mynahleague.bsky.social•80 days ago

And we will remember these cowardly acts of obeying in advance. Is Trump showing up to the dinner? If he does, he’s going to rub it in, and they have to sit there with plastered smiles.

Apparently they don't understand this and they gotta learn the hard way.

A bunch of complicit, enabling chicken shits

hallijayne.bsky.social•80 days ago

This is disgusting!

kimbellsmowgli.bsky.social•80 days ago

That never works. Perhaps he’d like one of his favorite celebrity boot lickers instead.

tedracobb.bsky.social•79 days ago

The best thing to do is NOT go. Just don’t go to the dinner. It isn’t hard.

jon-wz.bsky.social•80 days ago

Reminder to self, rewatch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDbx1uArVOM instead of watching the WHCA dinner.

She understood the assignment.

COWARDS

Cowards

Any White House correspondents who attend this dinner will be tagging themselves as Russian/N. Korean-style State Media.

Amber’s roast has been replaced with a choir praising our dear orange leader.

lakeboy.bsky.social•80 days ago

Obama cut trump deep there.

politicsesq.bsky.social•80 days ago

Any media that shows up to this farce is outting themselves as more interested in exclusive parties than actual journalism.

Someone give Amber Ruffin a comedy special, so she can give the same set she would have given at the Correspondents' Dinner to a better audience.

jcontraire.bsky.social•80 days ago

👏👏👏

cherieanne.bsky.social•80 days ago

It’s Jeff Foxworthy’s big chance!

kaboosemoose.bsky.social•80 days ago

Have Amber on your show!!

dc3inthesky.bsky.social•80 days ago

Have Amber on EVERYBODY's shows. Gotta have consequences.

kaboosemoose.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thankfully she’s already on Seth Meyers and Have I Got News For You.

therealsec.bsky.social•80 days ago

For some reason, I don’t think that’s the only reason. Let’s boycott the correspondents’ dinner—I wasn’t going to watch anyway because Krasnov, but now will make a point of not watching.

rainsend.bsky.social•80 days ago

When Trump wants to hurt you, he'll hurt you. No matter what money you throw at him. No matter how enthusiastically you kiss him ass. No matter how deep you bow, he will hurt you anyway. It's what he does.

walkingghost.bsky.social•80 days ago

You can't be surprised. Trump is thin skinned and everyone knows it.

ickivay.bsky.social•80 days ago

Amber would shred his ass! Black and gay too! Nah they not having her! It would be something to watch tho’

neezee.bsky.social•80 days ago

Oh my God, the cowardice is contagious and still incredibly stupid stupid dangerous awful. GET A GRIP!

admnaismith.bsky.social•80 days ago

Why is this event a thing? Esp now?
Climb out of bed with the subjects of your reporting, and ask (& keep asking) them harder questions. If they don't answer, ask them again.

creasybear.bsky.social•80 days ago

Someone needs to host the biggest comedy show ever with Ruffin as the headliner. Throw it on Netflix.
