[RussBLib]

4. I've seen a few

which comes out to, maybe, 1%?

Will we ever be normal again?

[DURHAM D]

8. Only masks I see are on wait staff. Good for them. nt

[a kennedy]

2. Love C-Span......NO TALKING HEADS.......just video.....

[RussBLib]

3. Give 'em hell, Joe!

T**** was such a prick

[snowybirdie]

5. Saw the packed crowd

Hate to see our government officials there. Super spreader event.

[mobeau69]

25. Proof of vaccination required to attend.

[Leith]

6. PBS has stuff happening

On YouTube, ABC hasn't even gone live yet.

38. Pres. Biden killed me with the "some guy named Brandon. .."

[a kennedy]

7. C-Span......live.....coverage from start to finish.

[DURHAM D]

9. I think this is sort of stupid.

No distancing. No masks.

In February 70 or more people got covid from the Gridiron Dinner.

I wish the President was not speaking.

[Leith]

15. It was announced a few minutes after 8

that all attendees were vaxxed and tested. Beyond that all they could do is not have the dinner again this year.

But... damn it's crowded there!

[malaise]

24. Lots of masks

But I would not have allowed Biden to attend

[DURHAM D]

27. I don't see hardly any masks.

Maybe they will put them on after they finish eating.

[Sympthsical]

35. The servant class is wearing masks

So they’ve got that look going for them.

[a kennedy]

10. I remember when Barack, tormented tRump.........

[lpbk2713]

11. I swear I could see steam coming out of his ears.

I was hoping Obama wouldn't let up.

[a kennedy]

13. Am sick about that.......and seriously look what has happened. 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

[DURHAM D]

12. Women were not allowed to attend the dinner until 1962.

It changed that year when President Kennedy refused to attend unless they allowed female correspondents.

[demmiblue]

14. It's the Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian show right now.

[a kennedy]

16. I know.....WTF???

[demmiblue]

18. It's kind of embarrassing, really.

[FakeNoose]

17. I saw Martha Stewart in the red carpet reception area

She was being interviewed by some news show - not C-Span.

[a kennedy]

19. Absolutely love Wanda Sykes......and her 2009 dinner tribute to Barack. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

[Peregrine Took]

20. I was going to watch this and now when I see all these....a-holes wining and dining...

just can't get into it.

Going to tune into a movie instead and signing off from flyover country.

[FakeNoose]

22. OK but Trevor Noah and others begin at 9:30 eastern daylight time

It will probably be worth your time, if you come back then.
This is just filler while people eat their dinners etc.

[ChazII]

21. I am enjoying listen to Wanda Sykes as I missed

her the first time.

[nolabear]

23. Oh Hassan Minhaj will be a walk down Memory Lane.

I was surprised at how gentle Wanda Sykes sounded, til she tore into Limbaugh.

[DURHAM D]

29. Just turned him off.

He was trashing MSNBC and the notion that Trump is owned by Russia.

F him

[nolabear]

30. He trashed everybody. I laughed.

[nolabear]

26. OMG the 2017 audience is TERRIFIED!

They want to laugh. They are stunned.

In retrospect it’s brilliant.

[bluecollar2]

28. Any chance this will start

During my lifetime?

[nolabear]

31. I'm enjoying this so far. The women of color in WH journalism...

[nolabear]

32. Joe is very, very funny! He's good at this.

Nice writing too. Edgy but self-effacing.

[a kennedy]

34. Just hope he doesn't go to long........

He does have a gift………

[tman]

33. The one good thing Trump did was not attend this shit show.

[kentuck]

36. Trevor Noah did a great job!

In my opinion.

His humor was cutting but he wasn't cruel. He found a good balance.

[FakeNoose]

37. Yes he did, he sounded friendly but he got some digs in too

Especially Fox News and CNN were nailed. Also I loved how he said Maggie Haberman is almost out of work now.

[In It to Win It]

39. I laughed my ass off during Trevor's entire set. Loved it!
