The correspondents dinner is not as hopeful or bright as it used to be.
They’re trying to prop up an old man to look young and treat him as the last hope against a decrepit opponent.
All while casually ignoring their responsibility to the world and encouraging one of the worst senseless and useless conflicts in living history.
The world isn’t blind or ignorant. America can put on the biggest blinders they want but everyone will still see and understand America’s part in all this.
The current era of the Israel-Palestine war (since October) has a death toll of around 30k. Look at how many other current and recent wars have death tolls of at least that much. Notably, the US-Afghanistan war (around 193k deaths) was ended by Biden.
My good dude, the WHPCA dinner has always been a disaster. Whatever one-liners we get, or the occasional Colbert, we’ll take. But no one’s confused that it should exist - it shouldn’t.

He also ended support for the genocides in Yemen, which had already claimed a whopping 380k lives under Obama and Trump
To be sure, electing Trump would be the worst thing US citizens could do in regard to Gaza.
Hopeful or bright?

Why aren’t people serious at the annual comedy show dinner?
I blame Obama. After you make fun of Trump to his face, then go back to the White House to watch bin Laden get capped, you can’t expect a better act.
