  1. Clearly the guys weren't smart enough to do this.

  2. Has anyone ever looked at rent in DC and how much journalists get paid? The free meal was probably their first one for the day. They took the wine back to their group home in Anacostia like they won life that day.

Could probably pay for a nice vacation with a bottle of "Trump Assassination Dinner" wine.

I forgot I moved past the post about Melania Trump and was pretty confused we weren't allowed to have strong, negative feelings against her now. I need to get some sleep.

It's something I come here to avoid.

Doesn't seem to be the point here

[–] imahappyguy@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

I disagree. This is a social media based article, whose only purpose is to be eye-catchingly inflammatory. It's meant to get people arguing. All it's doing is documenting people online fussing with each other. They specifically used this post of a women, because people will more easily hate on a woman than a man. That's just my lived experience, though.

If it wasn't part of the point, the title would just say "guests".

Wasn't there a dude who did the same thing but with shirts at the Kirk shooting?

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It was a hat. It was literally in one of the first videos of the shooting. Bitch is spurting blood and this dude just walks up and snags a hat. Smart thinking.

Those hat thieves are bleeding Kirk dry!

Dealing with any of Trump's bullshit should have a three drink minimum. Good on these ladies for ensuring they were able to do so.

Another fake assassination attempt!
Drink!!

How dare they loot from the event. Next you'll tell me they actually ate their meals. Criminal.
