(49,983 posts)If you remember days after the 2024 election Mika and Joe met with Trump to beg forgiveness and kiss his fat ass..and Jake Tappers unveiled his screed torching Joe Biden..
Any journalist with a scintilla of integrity/self respect should stay home if no other reason than to send vomit spewing Trump a not so subtle message his racist humiliation of women journalists/black women journalist is not ok

(18,958 posts)It didn't matter whether the president was a Democrat or a Republican, it was always fun. And when it was the president's turn to respond in kind, it was usually done with grace, humor and dignity. Other than that, these affairs are just a lot of boring self-congratulatory speeches, and incestuous schmoozing between the fourth estate and the public officials they're supposed to be covering.
Trump is completely bereft of any grace, humor or dignity. He's a soulless slug who only wants to hurt and divide. I won't watch.

I think at the last minute they should have Colbert suddenly appear on the podium. Though the rumor is Trump is going to speak before the entertainment and plans to attack members of the press he doesn't like then, in a true TACO move, leave.

But.....if he actually shows up in the building, it will be a great, great opportunity for some journalist heroes to step up and stand up for the American people.

(17,600 posts)you know, the one where PRESIDENT OBAMA kicked DonOLD's fat ass from one side of the banquet hall to the other!
And I know, perhaps I should be regretting that many consider the moment when IQ45/47 decided that he should actually run for the office.
BULLSHIT!!!!!!
Let him decide whatever he wants - I'm pizzed at the idiots that actually thought that he was a qualified person to run the United States of America!
THEY need to get away from the TV (well, OK, FAUX SPEWS!) and try to work at becoming a responsible citizen and actually THINK!
