Good luck, Trevor Noah. Cringeworthy correspondents dinners of years past

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is back for the first time since 2019. Journalists, A-list celebrities and Washington’s power players will pack the cavernous ballroom at the Washington Hilton.

On this episode of Punchlines Matt Wuerker talks to Politico's playbook star, Ryan Lizza, about the cringiest moments of the past and what to expect for the big dinner in a post-pandemic Biden era.

I love how Trevor Noah was able to make political comedy hilarious yet classy at the same time. He gave off a friendly vibe as opposed to cringy and rude. He did an amazing job, perfect choice for this year's correspondents dinner given the political climate lately.

Michelle Wolf's roast was incredible, tf are you talking about Politico? Like, who in the hell was on Sarah Huckabee Sanders's side there?!? Wolf did a fantastic job poking at the hideous Republican establishment, if you cringed while watching it, perhaps you are part of the problem?

Trevor Noah was a lot of fun. He was right to point out the disaster of high Gasoline / Diesel Prices and Food Prices for the US Economy and the Middle Class . This weekend was a disaster for Businesses, no traffic and no Customers. From small and medium Stores to Resorts to Restaurants, the new reality of high energy prices and higher Food prices is a nightmare, while Consumers, stuck at home with the Kids instead of the River, Beach, Mountain or Lake, watch how the bonuses of Big Oil Gas top Executives and Military Contractors CEO's go into the millions just this first quarter, while they have to stay at home with the kids destroying the living room. And on top of that, Zelenskiy wants billions from the US & EU Taxpayers, he could have implemented the Minsk Agreements and Normandy Format Talks to give basic Rights to the 11 million Ethnic Russians in East Ukraine, instead he chose War and protagonism and now UKraine is destroyed and he wants America to pay for the rebuilding. He wants hundreds of billions of dollars and euros for years to come. This is starting to look like Iraq War WMD Lies 2.0 .

Yeah, it's all just so interesting. Nothing alarming about the situation, just interesting stuff. FFS
