Please make a joke about how Trump is trying to convince the Supreme Court it shouldn't be a crime for you to have him killed.
I'm so looking forward to the white house correspondents ignoring the 100s of Palestinian journalists that were killed while highlighting the one guy who's in prison in Russia.
“They said my jokes about Gaza were going to bomb, so I gave them $26.3B taxpayer dollars”
Oof.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Administration officials said Katzenberg led daily strategy sessions in the White House residence this week to tweak Biden’s comedy set drafted by longtime speechwriter Vinay Reddy.
The group held its longest session, roughly four hours with a brief intermission, on Friday – after the president returned from a two-day swing through New York City – and reached consensus on the material a full day earlier than prior years, when top aides were forced to get dressed for the event in the West Wing because they were running so close to their deadline.
With Biden expected to spend much of his time targeting his Republican opponent, the White House wanted to ensure that the evening’s other headliner, Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost, spread his barbs across the political spectrum.
Mocking comments and jokes at Trump’s expense have increasingly become a fixture of the president’s public remarks – and that is likely to be one theme of Biden’s Saturday night speech at the Washington Hilton’s cavernous ballroom, a source familiar told CNN.
In past years, Rob Flaherty, once the director of digital strategy and now a deputy campaign manager, and Dan Cluchey, a senior speechwriter, were named as sending some of the choicest material.
Among those Biden has turned to was Jon Macks, a top writer on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” who has also written host material for dozens of Oscars ceremonies, along with an extended constellation of acquaintances.
