Have to join the chorus, this went a little off key, but I think we’re still hanging on a string. Just try to refrain from overplaying and we’ll beat it. ( Passing the staff… ) ---

Sorry to interrupt the punfest, but this just in: President Chickenshit He has already affirmed that he was to chickenshit to attend the Press Correspondent’s dinner, but he has now announced his official “other thing to do that night”. Chickenshit. > **[Trump to hold 100th-day rally on same night as White House correspondents’...](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/04/22/trump-to-hold-100th-day-rally-on-same-night-as-white-house-correspondents-dinner/)** > > The president is eager to tout his accomplishments at an important milestone. ---

Good grief. That jerk will still be campaigning for the 2016 election a decade after he’s out of office. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > Good grief. That jerk will still be campaigning for the 2016 election a decade after he’s out of office. If the Normalization of Trump progresses and he makes it to 2020 without impeachment, that would put him at 84. With his steady diet of McDonald’s hamburgers and dry-charred beefsteaks, one can only hope that the icy hand of Death will have stilled his tongue. ---

This doesn’t piss me off as much as deeply embarrass me. Warning: The following is cringeworthy. [Trump awards a soldier with the Purple Heart, and it couldn’t be any more awkward.](https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/donald-trump-purple-heart-awkward/) Notice how the wife gets two kisses, but the guy never gets as much as a handshake? Notice how the president never thanks the guy for his service? He just says “congratulations”, like getting one’s leg blown off is akin to winning the lottery. I can understand using the situation as a photo op. Obama didn’t do it, of course, but I’m not going to begrudge an embattled president his right to use the media to shape his image. But if you’re going to photo-op something like this, you can’t screw it up. All he had to say was “We thank you for your service”. Why the fuck can’t our president do something as simple as this?
