If he couldn't control the audience he wouldn't want to be there. Yes, what a f*cking weak thin-skinned little bloated orange creature.

already starting, associating with 45 this way would only become a more obvious low point for the association's members. They should not be there laughing at such a person's jokes or indicating "refined" disapproval when they fall below standards they themselves would be failing.

I was about to say they shouldn't have it, but they should. And the comic should bring down the hammer hard.

Impeachment jokes are most wanted.

I was thinking of the Al Smith Dinner, too. He was awful enough there--can you imagine him trying comedy again with his press relations so strained?

In addition, he faced a very real prospect that WHCA would disinvite him. So this was a sensible decision for him and the best thing for all concerned.

we will be serving chicken, chicken and overcooked plucked rooster"

Wow that Russia thing must need a lot of covering up.
Maybe he'll find his taxes while he's at it.
