Oh, they've still technically continued every year, but not as they used to be. All the fun was gone when a humorless, thin-skinned President, unable to take a bit of ribbing, refused to show up.
Biden will be able to take a joke, and comfortably laugh along with us, even when the joke is on him.

but I always enjoyed seeing them there. I was glad Trump didn't do it. There is now way he can even tell a joke effectively.

try to make up for their inadequacies by being extra tough on the Biden Admin.
Fuck them all and their stupid dinner too.
