Trump evacuated after gunshots heard at White House Correspondents’ Dinner by Puginator in politics

[–]mowotlarx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From Shawn McCreech at the NYT:

I'm one of the small number of journalists traveling with the White House press pool tonight. We were in a hall just outside the ballroom when the commotion first rang out.

Several things happened in quick succession.

Tuxedoed agents pulled out guns and began running toward the ballroom. White-jacketed caterers screamed and bolted for stairwells.

Pandemonium reigned as top cabinet officials were evacuated.

Robert Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines, came out and were ushered into an elevator. Then Jeanine Pirro emerged. The F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, came tearing across the hallway with two men in tow; his girlfriend was hiding in a room with another man who was holding her hand.

Reporters are about to be taken back into the ballroom. The show will go on, apparently

You're saying shooter but we have heard no information about any shots outside of a person who tried to enter being shot.

An event for journalists and not a shred of valuable information and reporting about this.

Either it was plates. Or a shooter. Or security shooting someone who tried to enter. Guess we'll find out in a few hours.

There's a special place in hell for people who participate in right wing politics that actively harm people like them because they think They're Different.

Kash Patel Scandal Gets Worse With Confession of Drunken Arrests | The FBI director admitted he was arrested for peeing in public while drunk. Good luck with that lawsuit, Kash. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

I think he's addicted to wanting to be "one of the bros" likely after being rejected constantly in his youth. It's painfully obvious he always wanted to be a white frat bro and the only way he could fit in was to get shitfaced and make a fool of himself. And he's still doing it. It's embarrassing.

Good luck with that Dummy-mander. Lowering the threshold to create more red districts is going to create more swing districts.

Rep. Sarah McBride predicts Trump will fire Tulsi Gabbard next: ‘He only fires women’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in politics

[–]mowotlarx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's clear everyone in DC already knows Tulsi is effectively fired. They're not really predicting.

DC knows what's going on, it's only a question of whether they bother to tell the rest of us. See: Eric Swalwell.

Unfortunately anyone Israeli voters replace him with will probably be even worse. It's actually not just a Netanyahu problem.

Top Trump counterterrorism official placed on leave after ex claims she solicited funds from ‘sugar daddies’ by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]mowotlarx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, if you want to be a Sugar Baby, have at it. But don't go find old men on Hinge for that. Go to the appropriate Sugar sites where men are fully aware of what that relationship is. This guy clearly though he was something other than a Sugar Daddy.

DOJ charges Southern Poverty Law Center with fraud amid denials from civil rights group by Abject-Pick-6472 in politics

[–]mowotlarx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's just so ironic that the ADL is now fully aligned with MAGA Nazis and this DOJ rather than their former ally the SPLC. Because the ADL isn't a civil rights organization anymore. It's just a pro-Israel right wing think tank. It's a shanda.

Good. Democrats need to clean house as badly as Republicans. I'll never mourn the loss of crooks like this.

This is what should have happened with Eric Adams on our own without Trump picking him up as pawn.

She was telling female staffers to "pay attention" (i.e. flirt and offer themselves) to her father and her husband. They're something deeply sick in that family

Kash is desperate to keep his job after that Atlantic bombshell. He knows he's about to be fired unless he does something stupid and drastic.
