Don't know if it should be held either, but in terms of the impact it makes outside the Beltway chattering class, it's a non entity Tangentially, this tweet from Dylan Byers kinda makes the point better than I ever could... For the President and these journalists, this event (both the dinner and the shooting) was a big deal. To average people? WGAF, playoff hockey is on.

Realizing today, that at 61, this might be the last year I take care of my own lawn and outdoor work. And this bums me out. Not that I like doing it, but having to hand it over to someone else is like the first step to going to the old folks home. Half a day of light labor and my back is killing me.

Nice challenge by Jake

Probably shouldn't let Iran know the entire administration will be in the same room within the next 30 days.

I hate Ann Coulter, but this is hilarious.

Aaaaaand here we go ...

From the article: It does not take a security expert to unravel the layers of failure that happened at a Washington, D.C. hotel on Saturday night. How on earth could someone with a disassembled long gun check into a room at a hotel where the president was going to speak? I can answer that: Nobody even looked at my luggage on Friday afternoon. Worse, my colleague arrived on Saturday at 5 p.m. Nobody looked at his luggage either: No magnometers, no hand checks, no I.D. checks. Nothing. How on earth could that person get downstairs and assemble a long gun? I can answer that too. I moved up and down from Floor 10 all day. Nobody ever stopped me and asked me anything. I have never shown my I.D., except to the clerk who checked me in; I have never been searched or frisked when I checked in, or moved in and out of the hotel. To get down from my room to the dinner, I simply flashed my ticket. It could have been a photocopy. The only time I went past a checkpoint was at the same magnetometers that Cole Allen, 31, sprinted past with his gun. Another colleague was outside; I texted them a copy of their ticket. That allowed them to get into the hotel as far as those same magnetometers, entirely unchecked. How on earth could that be considered safe? And how could agents not have realized, after they knew who Cole Allen was, that the gunman had been a hotel guest, and that even after he had been neutralized, that other people might be in danger? How could it take three hours—yes, three hours—to wonder if the bomb squad should come round? The Washington Hilton has seen the attempted assassination of a president before. I walked past the plaque commemorating that spot a few hours before the shooting. I didn’t expect that I would be living through history again, in the room beside 10235. 🤔🤨

nm, wt

Crowder is not a strikeout pitcher, but he just struck out the side in the third inning. That’s about the only safe way to pitch in this ballpark.

I'm going to go out on a limb and just declare that Hinch's heart is in his job here.

I hate this ball park

So could that have been the whole idea behind this? Take the pressure off Trump about the ballroom? That seems too facile.

I don’t feel safe with anything less than a six run lead in this ballpark.

Because of this, we are going to learn everything there is to know about this Allen guy, his name is going to be famous all over the socials and RWM, which will associate him with the Democrats and the mainstream media, all while nobody remembers anything about the guy in Butler (quick, without looking it up, do you remember his name?) because a "public statement from (then) FBI deputy director Paul Abbate described [the Butler shooter's] activity on social networking services as including comments that 'appear to reflect antisemitic and anti-immigration themes'", which is inconvenient since those views align with those of Trump's base.

Gleybomb would be nice.

Nice to see someone who can pitch out there today

Surely fake but a pretty funny joke

Way to go Carp!
