CNN ^ | April 29, 2018 | Caroline Kelly and Kate Sullivan

This year's White House correspondents dinner featured a deeply satirical edge and a variety of voices in an evening of provocative political humor. Comedian Michelle Wolf, best known for her contributions on "The Daily Show," headlined the event, unleashing an unusually biting and raunchy routine. She mocked lawmakers and members of the media, but focused on President Donald Trump, who was not in attendance, and others from the White House in a routine that drew harsh critiques from many in the audience and online. Trump, who has called the media "the enemy of the American people," held a campaign-style rally in Michigan instead, as he did in Pennsylvania during last year's dinner.

“the enemy of the American people,” held a campaign-style rally in Michigan


Well they got that right. Journalist are a fifth column in America - they are attempting to change our nation from one of individuals to a socialist collective.

They are also correct that President was in campaign mode. I would like to see more of these and not just in friendly territory. Come to the California Central Valley Mr. President - we will fill a stadium for you

Living in California does not mean I am a Democrat

Typical joke these days: “Republicans are stupid”.

Very efficient. Just three words. That’s the joke, and the punchline all rolled up in one little phrase. Fantastic joke.

Only problem is: there’s no humor in their comedy.

“The Daily Show,”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isn’t that the show with the snide little foreigner who constantly derides our President, our country and our culture?

Trump, who has called the media “the enemy of the American people,”


Trump has never said such thing.
Yet another blatant lie by Fakenews CNN. The place of their quote, just over a truncated sentence of what Trump said, is evidence CNN knows well it is lying. What a bunch of despicable slimeballs!

“Biting comedy”???

It was like watching a Politburo gathering n the old Soviet Union.

Did you notice the way some folks were looking around to see how others reacted, and then CLAPPED LOUDER themselves, to not be seen as disagreeing??? It seemed as if many feared they could lose those lofty positions, if they were seen to respond “incorrectly”.

I felt I watching an Orwellian story, only in real time.

. Somehow, CNN must save those descriptions for Republicans. CNN’s words: satirical, edgy, provocative, biting and raunchy are on the softer side considering the attacks, especially on Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

“Living in California does not mean I am a Democrat”

indeed. or being a conservative in any other state that went for Hillary, like me in Colorado.

I have good conservative friends in California, and have conservative friends here in Colorado that got the hell out of California, bringing their thriving businesses with them ...

Unusually raunchy? “Raunchy” is about all they ever do anymore. It’s the only thing they are capable of.
