President Biden will attend this year's White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

Why the hell can't they even write bylines that tell the damn truth? They make it sound like Biden is breaking a norm. He is re-establishing a norm. Historically, most presidents attended. Only this last corrupt motherfucker did not because he's a goddamned whiny baby who can't take a joke.

So don't call it breaking anything. Call it re-establishing something. Sheesh.
