A quick reading of the Constitution doesn’t rule out impeaching dead presidents. I’m sure the House will be happy to comply. ---

Giving Pence the award is a nice bipartisan gesture, and he certainly did his country a great service by standing up to Trump over the Electoral College certification in 2021, but I have very mixed feelings about this otherwise. > [@Locrian](#): > > I suspect the foundation to get an EO “to be immediately CLOSEDED!!!” from orange boy. 🤣 It could happen. The JFK Library is part of the National Archives and Records Administration, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Trump zero out its budget. ---

Oh to be a fly on the wall when Trump hears about this award… Maybe the one from Pence’s head is available. ---

Donald Trump is a little baby in a larded-up octogenarian’s body. So he can’t handle someone making fun of him and hurting his widdle feewings. > **[The annual White House correspondents' dinner fiasco | Byron York](https://santamariatimes.com/opinion/columnists/the-annual-white-house-correspondents-dinner-fiasco-byron-york/article_dc3ffe38-64a5-43ee-ba25-c305ac53722c.html)** > > BYRON YORK: Then the dinner was a train wreck for the four years of Trump's first administration. Now it promises to be more of the same. Why go through it? > Once a celebrity-filled pageant of Washington journalists and politicians, the dinner has struggled to find equilibrium and meaning since the first election of President Donald Trump in 2016. Trump, the target of years of overwhelmingly hostile coverage from many of the dinner’s attendees, has never attended the event as president and does not plan to go this year. > Over the weekend, the White House Correspondents’ Association abruptly canceled the performance of comedian Amber Ruffin, originally scheduled for the organization’s April 26 annual dinner. > What will happen now? Well, at least the dinner won’t have a comedian, which, given some performances in the past, might be a good thing. But the event will raise a fundamental question for the media: Why are we doing this? Ruffin was advised to be fair and to try to spread the mockery around, make her humor balanced. She basically said fuck that, Trump is the worst and I will skewer him. So now I guess dinner will just involve some people quietly eating food. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > So now I guess dinner will just involve some people quietly eating food. I think they give each other awards, too. The event has been shown on cable-TV for years, but mostly on the strength of the fame/notoriety of the comedian-host. People tuned in for the jokes. So I’m wondering if it will air anyplace (other than, perhaps, C-SPAN) this year. ---
