I would simply choose not to attend a party that honors one of the world's most shot-at men.

Get a haircut Joni

More proof the shooting was staged.

What if Bastille + Sniper Positions?!?

Fuck Joni Ernst.

The President cannot dictate where private events will be held. Will President Trump hold all his political rallies in this "secure" ballroom? The argument is ridiculous at face value, and Ernst should be ashamed.

What’s so obviously ridiculous about this argument, and what should be pointed out (but won’t) in every interview is the fact that every chance chump gets he’s hopping a plane to Florida 😡! What good is a billion dollar ballroom in DC when every weekend he’s busy golfing and DJ’ing at Mara Lardo 🤬!

Well, we are all die one day, Joni.

She's become quite the rising MAGA star since her "oh well, we're all gonna die" soundbite. All it takes is a little lib-owning.

Billionaires -represented by their GOP/fascist politicians - want us to pay to secure their parties; and they want to party in a very lavish ballroom befitting their status. The cost does not matter to them because they intend to steal our tax dollars to pay for it all.

She’s such a waste of air. And that hair really needs a revolution. Hell you’d think because she isn’t seeking reelection she would just shut up and quit supporting him but maybe she’s hoping for a place in his regime. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔🤦🏻‍♀️

An investment by me usually means there’s at least the possibility of an upside at the end. I’ll get zilch from my tax dollars going to some bloated monstrosity of a vanity project that this corrupt president and his cronies will use to pretend they’re kings.

Gtfo joni

Correspondents dinner, or State-run media dinner? Get bent, Joni

It wasn’t a government run event. They attended voluntarily. I they are so concerned abput security, don’t attend an event like that.

Wait, they just assume we want the president and cabinet to be safe?

Investments make money. How is an ugly building investing in us?

I'm sure these people were all on the record years prior asking for something similar and not just saying whatever they need to to support grandpa's delusions of grandeur.

She’s trash

Oh yeah I'm sure the people who can't afford food and health care give two shits about the elite having a party. Get lost.

Let's start at the top of this fascist regime

Invest in fascism so they can dance on your grave.

I love it when they see in power and spend us into oblivion but when s dems tried to spend on real stuff like healthcare or education they sr wasteful. I never want to hear them complain about spending again

What a sham.

He doesn’t have to attend such a loosely guarded event. It’s almost like they wanted it to happen. They didn’t plan AGAINST it, did they?

Her new hair is a cry for help. A scream, actually.

American here; I dont care.

Ernst, why not use the existing ballroom?

But he can golf every weekend at his porous golf motel and that’s all fine and dandy.

Doesn’t she know that we are all going to die someday?

This is ridiculous how they want to dole out our tax dollars for every delusional whim! These folks are soulless! 🤬

Or, we could just stop holding these ridiculous, worthless, ego-driven social activities in the first place, Joni.

Hey, we all gotta die sometime, right?

She forgets to mention that the correspondents dinner would never be held at the ballroom, and, even if it were, it wouldn't be big enough to hold everyone that attends. It's fascinating that Trump has attended this dinner ONE time in 5 years, but suddenly it's like it's an event for him.

No. It’s not.

who is doing Ernst's hair?

"We deserve protection from the people we are fucking over daily." - republicans

Agreed: all maga rallies at the Whitehouse, and all golfing will be played in the secure old East Wing... The previous two Trump activities with long range rifle attempts are reasons to everthing inside the new East Wing.

Why can’t Secret Service and LE secure a hotel for an event the president is attending? Doesn’t make them look very competent at all. Also, was never an issue in the past.

They think that group of people is irreplaceable? If there is a risk WTF were they in the same place for a unnecessary party?

But Joni, *everybody dies*, so why get worked up about it?

Right. Make it as secure as a golf course.

“But we are all gonna die one day ???”

But what about weekly golf Traitor?! Eskimo Sisters Unite!

“We the Rich and powerful don’t want to be anywhere near the masses while we’re showing our asses.

The ballroom

That's the entire list of people she thinks deserve safety as they plan to shelter themselves away like The Masque of the Red Death.

Liar. Can 300+ million urs it⁉️🙄

I’m not paying for a ballroom just because Jabba the Trump is too fucking lazy to leave the White House

Investing in gold for Mar-O-Lago and private jets for each member of the Trump family is a great investment by the American people.

If musk was in better standing, right now republicans would talk up the trillion dollar no-bid white house to mar-a-lardo hypertube.

amendment amendment private property government something.

C U N

Stop being people that other people want to shoot.

I’m not sure that assaulting these people even counts as a crime anymore.

Or you could NOT HAVE THE DAMN DINNER

She’s looking for a job.

That hair tho

The White House does not host/sponsor/organize the correspondents dinner. It is organized by the White House Correspondents' Association. The President and Vice President are guests, not hosts.

Yet, there is ALREADY a secured ballroom, 300 feet away from the White House. We use it for our Inaugural Balls and sits more people than the proposed illegal one. #ballroom

Trying to get a golden ticket

So we're not ALL going to die then? Some of us deserve protection & help. 🤡

Cabinet officials living on military bases and events only being held in secure locations while they block gun control everywhere else in the name of freedom

And thus begins the bunker phase of this whole shit show..

Except for the fact the correspondents dinner would have never been at the White House because it’s not a government held event. Trump was invited, he was not running it. These are planned events, he can’t just demand they move everything into a ballroom just because he’s decided to appear.

No!! That is a horrible investment. C does not make every day Americans’ lives better

I kind of like the idea of Ernst, Rump, and the whole MAGAt gang huddling in a crypt in the ground. Do they realize how vulnerable a site like that would be-- accessible by land, air, AND SEA? Sure, they can get in. Could they get out?

You can't fit 2600 people into an inbuilt room that fits 900.

Instead of wondering why it is so much easier to get a gun in America than in other countries...

This event had/has nothing to do with the president or government and it was the first time he ever went. He also goes golfing every weekend and does events at maralargo and other locations, will all those be moved?

NO! Because that would make the president the host and then he would get to decide who's invited and who's not.

If the only place Trump is safe is inside the White House, why is he constantly traveling to Mar-a-Lago? Why not strengthen his security instead of spending billions on a ballroom?

I thought that they hate the media (correspondents)? Note they are concerned for them?

Showing a fan The erection of his Ball Room

As far as I can tell, most MAGAt women are foolish fangirls who have the "but I'M SPECIAL" dysfunction. They don't see that Rump has no respect for any woman (or much of anybody else). Funny how the security worked pretty well for 45 OTHER PRESIDENTS. And this one. Except for the BS stunts.

There is zero in this for the American constituent. This is all about protecting himself while taking more from you.

Hey Biscuit Lady, the Ballroom™ is 1/3 the size of the venue you referenced. Also, Trump doesn't need to attend an event held by a non-governmental association. In fact, this was his first appearance in either of his two terms.

They just don't get it. I guess they choose not to get it.

How about the deletion of this correspondents’ dinner? What’s the point of it, anyway?

Another bad woman for women (with Murkowski and Collins, Marge Trailor Queen, and the lap hockey champ Boebert).

It sounds like a conflict to me. How honest can the dinner be when the dictator baby is there?

How do they fail to recognize that the security at the White House Correspondents dinner worked and that everyone was kept safe?

I prefer my president and reps to not be a coward, thanks.

Shouldn't there be ivory? And a tower?

They say the new ballroom would be too small for events like this. Let's keep the facts straight.

Or, hear me out, you could just not have these meaningless schmooze fests

A far better investment would be to help create a society where we don’t need a fortress in which to have events.

The best way to keep them all safe is for the president not to go to the dinner.

Hey Joni, we’re all going to die.

And what's your solution, Joni, for schools, movie theaters, grocery stores, churches, and mosques to keep Americans safe from gunmen? Put them all on the premises of the White House?

They’re also putting Dulce Base under the ballroom. God-king mausoleum up top, crazy conspiracy theory style UFO hangar, underneath.

Or have it in a local school and you can have bulletproof backpacks, with thoughts and prayers.

I thought it was the correspondents dinner? they did not have to go

Ridiculous. The WHCA is a private association; the dinner isn’t hosted by the president or the WH. The ballroom—to the degree that there’s a plan for it—wouldn’t be big enough to accommodate it, anyway. And he goes to rallies and graduations…we’re going to move all those events to the WH? GMAFB.

It would be easier to just not invite the president. He hadn't attended before, so he obviously doesn't need to be there. It's not a government function. It should not give them control over who attends. The reasons are plentiful

Fuck her!

So the President is never going to appear outside of the White House? I’m all for this president’s confinement but not in the People’s House.

It’s a private event. No to the WH.

Maybe congress should pass legislation that makes it illegal for the president to appear anywhere besides the white house. You know…for safety. Put in a putting green and say no more golf trips…too open. Presidential safety is paramount.

"I think it's a great investment by the American people" I dare say you do, but then you can afford to put food on the table. Those who cannot afford to put food on the table due to Trump's ridiculous antics in the Middle East and dumb ass tariffs would, I suspect, think otherwise...

Just cut it down to a quarter of its size because Trump came 1/5th of the times he was invited, for Pete’s sake!

Yep! And are they building him a golf course down there too? JFC!!!

Guess based on recent behavior: They'd allow their favorite correspondents in the ballroom and video broadcast to the rest of the "fake news" organizations somewhere else. The dilemma for Trump will be if he can fit Barron's whole wedding reception in there someday, something along those lines...

Exactly. The gunman never got close to Trump. They were on completely different floors. The security worked.

And the WH already has event spaces.

Came here with the same thought

Exactly.

My thought too!

Anything but regulating the militia well.

What happened to “Well, we’re all going to die”? Also, fuck this cunt

Yeah I support the ballroom only if it brings doom for them.

Fox is porn for Republicans.

Ernst is just one more Republican, pedo adjacent shill.

I know. We need them gone so badly.

Abject, sychopantic drivel. There is not public interest in the WHC dinner beyond seeing the President get a gentle roasting from a comedian. The President is the guest not the host and Trump didn't even show up in his first term. Ballroom has nothing to do with it.

Also love the ”simp” word choice!

Every item used to be more affordable, adjusted for wages. Food, gas, college, healthcare, childcare all became investment vehicles or extraction points. The shift from public goods to profit centers happened gradually enough that each generation accepts the new baseline as normal.
