Maybe we should just elect Trump president

He sure can drop gigantic fucking bombs tho
Having attended a previous Easter Egg Roll, I can say with confidence that this is a horrible event in every way imaginable, even when well-organized, and kids never have much fun, and I hated it therefore I am right.
My wife "won" tickets to this for Monday.  We have a 14 month old.  I have tried to tell her it will be horrible.  I imagine lines upon lines.  Can you elaborate on how bad it is so I can possibly get out of this.  Thanks.
I went when I was a kid and my mom still has those eggs somewhere in her house. I was a kid so I don't recall much being terrible. I remember there was a lot of commemorative eggs though! Thanks Bill!
I went during Obama's second term, so A) maybe they were tired of doing it, and yet B) you'd think they would have their act together.

We waited for HOURS to get in and once we got through the first checkpoint, it was a total clusterfuck to get onto the grounds. We never saw Obama, the staff/handlers treated us like cattle entering a slaughterhouse, and literally nobody had a good time. I can't begin to imagine why you'd bring a 14 month old to this.

It also hurt because I remember the day we went was very hot, and by the time we got in, we were all cooked and grumpy.

If you need a talking point, let me say that the #1 reason I am now divorced is because of that Easter Egg Roll at the White House.

(That's a lie but whatever)
I also imagine protesters at this point to add to the fun.  Thanks for the input.
Bannons refusal to let Trump host the annual Passover Seder is telling.
A 14-month-old will not remember a damn thing about it.
I know.  It's pretty much for a picture on the White House lawn for social media I believe. 
We are also no longer going after discussing this.  Thanks Relaxer.

If your wife wants lines after lines for social media pictures I definitely recommend the Kusama exhibit.  Plenty of lines, but you'll get better selfies for sure.
I'll need to check that out.  Since i took a half day off we are now going to Old Town for a nice lunch instead. 
^damn that's some comedy gold
another one of trump's advisors is on the downswing… either he's a liar, or a cynic:

'Infowars' host Jones disputes persona in custody dispute

The right-wing radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is a performance artist whose true personality is nothing like his on-air persona, according to a lawyer defending the "Infowars" broadcaster in a child custody battle.

Attorney Randall Wilhite said at a pretrial hearing in Austin last week that evaluating Jones based on his on-air comments is like judging Jack Nicholson based on his role as the Joker in "Batman."

so what is funny exactly? he's headed to a second term… he's going to beat sanders..


Is Bernie really our only candidate?
I liked and like Bernie well enough, but we need someone with more than rhetoric and with ideas that can, if not reach across the aisle than at least fire up and unite the party. Also, not to be ageist but how old is too old?
   I've been telling people semi-facetiously that I think we need a youngish strong Latino candidate to draw out a solid block vote. Alternately I did like Cory Booker right after his DNC speech, but he kind of tainted himself up there with the prescription drug vote.

Also, is no one going to bring up little trump's affinity for football proper vs. American football?

This whole Jason Chaffetz thing is so weird. First news was that he won't run for re-election. Now some people are whispering/speculating that he will resign as early as tomorrow. But that's just speculation.

Have you seen that a PAC that supposedly represents him has bought up a lot of Chaffetz 2028-related domains? Dude is planning a Presidential run 11 years out?
