1. "I need a ballroom" 2. "R's leave on recess" 3. "Shots fired at WH" 4. "I told you I needed a ballroom" 5. "Yes SIR!"

I had a friend message me as the headlines hit.

"Now he's going to say it's proof that he needs a ballroom."

At least his ear is OK.

How predictable. Usisng Don Jr's wedding as an excuse to "stay in the White House working on serious issues"...like his planned golf retreat to his club.

One article I read said the shooter is well known. How do we know there wasn't a deal made with him to just start shooting around the White House? They could have told him they would just arrest him and then let him go.

Since they lie so much, we don't know.

And then there was the guy from the correspondents dinner. When law enforcement was asked about him during the press conference, the cop said he was in a good frame of mind. I thought WTF kind of answer is that and why would the guy be in a "good frame of mind"? Was he expecting a giant payday?

Damn, this is their specialty, isn't it?!. I hope I'm invited to the next Mafia Meeting when they pass the hat to collect donations to put a real contract out on the fucking moron. I'm living near poverty level in CA and I'd be thrilled to give them whatever I possibly can...well worth the investment in my book.

Whichever way he steps away. I’ll take it.

But it’s GOTTA be permanent. And irrevocable.

...to golf courses. Or to rallies. Or any other public appearances. He better just stay in it all the time.

Unfortunately, that could be used as a convenient excuse to cover up serious health problems, which we all know he has (indefinite ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ situation).
