Do American schoolkids get a ballroom to protect them or is just dying Peados?
The man accused of trying to storm the ballroom at the #WHCA dinner with #guns & knives had written about targeting #Trump admin officials, & his family raised concerns with law enforcement before the event, Trump said Sunday in an interview on the Faux News Channel.

#Trump & other top leaders of the #US were evacuated from the annual #WhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner on Saturday night after an unspecified threat. There did not immediately appear to be any injuries.
The #SecretService & other authorities swarmed the banquet hall as guests ducked under tables by the hundreds. “Out of the way, sir!” someone yelled. Others yelled to duck.

So just to recap, in the last minute CSPAN says it was a false alarm, CNN
says the shooter was killed in the lobby, and the pool report says he's in
custody, do | have that right?

LISTEN⏵The shooter wasn’t the biggest evil at the #WHCD last night. That honor belongs to every journalist who thought it was a good idea to be there given the appalling treatment of the press by this rogue Trump regime.
What the fuck were you thinking?
(Reposts = agreement)
"A close reading of the Justice Department’s charges Monday afternoon against 31-year-old Cole Allen hint that he didn’t fire any weapon at all.
In fact, it’s not clear from what we know that this was a 'shooting' at all. ...
Here is what to me is a more likely scenario than what the government is telling us so far:"

Will Bunch thinks that what happened at the White House Correspondents Dinner "went beyond metaphor for a depraved and decadent America." ...
"Despite the dull surprise of more gunplay in a nation where firearms outnumber human beings, it does seem odd that so many in the black-tie crowd wanted to keep eating after a man with a long gun nearly burst into their ballroom. Or maybe not."

“Adopting Trump’s Voice” [IOW #Trump dictated the DOJ’s filing] #DOJ Asks Judge to Let #Ballroom Proceed
The court filing links the security breach at the #WHCD to the lawsuit over Trump’s ballroom project.
[problematically for this argument is that the WHCD CANNOT be held at the White House — idiots! -- the #WHCA is a #PrivateOrganization, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. And the White House has NEVER been rented out for private events.]

This is what happens when you lie ALL THE TIME
Many Americans think #Trump #assassination attempts were fake
About 1 in 4 adults say the #WHCD shooting was staged, 1 in 3 Democrats said they believed the event was fake, & 1 in 8 Republicans also think it was staged, according to a survey published Monday by NewsGuard, a company that rates the reliability of online news outlets.
