Good For Them

The White House staff is not going to this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner.  For the last two years, President Trump didn't go, but the staff did.  That led to some rather nasty attacks by the comedian on that staff.  This year none of them are going.  No Trump and no staff.

Good for them.  It was one thing for the correspondents to joke about the President or his staff and for the staff and the President to joke back.  That's not where the dinner has gone, however.  Some of the crazies of Fake News have remade the event into a Trump-bashing exercise more like a Democrat campaign rally than a good natured industry event.  Why would the White House do anything to up the profile of such a partisan attack?  With neither the President nor his staff at the event, there's nothing newsworthy about it.  It can sink back into the slime of the swamp that it came from.

The best thing about all this is the outrage with which this decision has been greeted by the swamp creatures.  The same people who spend 24/7 falsely attacking the President and his staff are outraged that the President won't help them promote yet another attack.

These people truly need help.
