#not attending

[holly-ilex-artworks]

My new company president is flying down to host a luncheon for a group of mostly remote employees, and my boss wants to know if I wanted to come; it’s not mandatory.

I told her to give my regards, that I would have loved to have attended, but-

And then hit play on a tape deck I’m going to send her, playing “She’s Like The Wind” by legendary diva Patrick Swayze.

President Trump Will Break Tradition and ‘Chicken Out’ of the White House Correspondents Dinner

Let’s be honest though-- he’ll probably watch the hell out of it and live tweet it too.

Though Trump is breaking yet another POTUS tradition, the announcement that he’ll not be attending the annual White House Correspondents Dinner (that’s effectively a presidential roast) comes with little surprise.  

Dozens and dozens of times, President Trump has demonstrated that he can’t stand the parody and satire done of him. On top of that, Trump’s war on the mainstream media, including the recent ‘gaggle’ on the NY Times, Politico, BuzzFeed, CNN, and others, and kicking off his 2020 reelection campaign paints Trump as someone who can’t handle criticism at almost any level.

Unfortunately, the criticism probably isn’t going to stop and, in turn, his whining as being depicted as an awful president probably won’t stop either. Even if his approval ratings reached new lows (they already have by the way) or he got impeached, we’d bet that Trump would never admit that he did what could be described as a “bad job”. 

Teddy Roosevelt said it best regarding this matter: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American Public.”

Again, it’s not shocking that he won’t be going to the WHCD, but it’s still regrettable.

He could do a sliver of good for his image if he sat down and took the scorching jokes that he deserves right on the chin just like President George W. Bush did when Stephen Colbert hosted the WHCD back in 2006.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders remarked on Trump not attending the event, “I think its kind of naïve of us to think that we can all walk into a room for a couple of hours and pretend that some of that tension isn’t there,” she continued. “One of the things we say in the South, if a Girl Scout egged your house, would you buy cookies from her? I think this is a pretty similar scenario.”

Unlike the Girl Scouts of America, being the President of the America comes with the territory of millions of people hating you in some way, shape or form every single day (even if you’re a well liked Commander in Chief).

One should note that The White House Correspondents Dinner has a secondary function of exhibiting and celebrating the importance of freedom of speech and a free press, as guaranteed in our Constitution. The President attending, no matter if they’re popular or not, is a renewed vote of confidence in those sacred ideals. 

With no President there, it would seem that Trump doesn’t really think such things matter that much.

Taylor Swift NOT Snubbed By MTV Video Music Awards, Despite Report

Taylor Swift was not “snubbed” by the MTV Video Music Awards, which announced its nominations on Tuesday. Gossip Cop can correct this inaccurate report.

According to Us Weekly, “MTV had a blank space, but didn’t write Taylor Swift’s name.” The outlet noted how Beyonce received a career-high of 11 nominations, and Adele scored seven of her own, but pointed out that “Swift was not on the list.” The publication wrote on its website that Swift “received zero nominations, a surprising turn of events for the 26-year-old singer, who led the pack of honorees at last year’s ceremony with 10 nominations for ‘Bad Blood.'”

But Swift was not “snubbed” at all. The singing superstar was on tour for the vast part of last year, and not putting out new songs. Additionally, it seems Swift’s team never submitted the handful of videos that still trickled out at the end of 2015 since she never planned on attending this year’s ceremony.

As Gossip Cop reported, last year Swift had the most nominations and was the 2015 MTV VMAs big winner, walking away with “Video of the Year” for “Bad Blood,” “Best Female Video” for “Blank Space,” and “Best Pop Video” for “Blank Space.” Additionally, she opened the 2015 show with Nicki Minaj and handed Kanye West his “Video Vanguard Award.” Swift, who’s been open about taking this year off from work, will noticeably be absent from this year’s Video Music Awards at Madison Square Garden in New York on August 28, but she most assuredly was not “snubbed.”
