Official White House Correspondents Dinner Game Thread

Bolshevik assassinations were a central feature of the Red Terror, a campaign of political repression and executions carried out by the Bolshevik secret police, the Cheka, during the Russian Civil War (1917–1922). While violence occurred sporadically since late 1917, the Red Terror was officially decreed in early September 1918 in retaliation for the assassination of Moisei Uritsky and an attempt on Vladimir Lenin's life.
Key aspects of Bolshevik assassination campaigns include:
Execution of the Romanov Family: On July 17, 1918, Bolshevik guards led by Yakov Yurovsky shot and stabbed Tsar Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra, and their five children in Ekaterinburg, along with four domestic staff members, to prevent them from being rescued by anti-Bolshevik White forces.
Systematic Elimination of Rivals: The Cheka targeted perceived "class enemies," including former nobility, clergy, political opponents, and suspected White Guard sympathizers. Estimates suggest 10,000–15,000 casualties occurred in the first two months of the official Red Terror.
Broader Scope: Beyond the initial decree, Bolshevik agents carried out numerous targeted killings and mass executions across Russia, including the murder of Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich in June 1918 and the execution of other Romanov relatives and Imperial court members throughout 1918 and 1919.

Commies
 
At least Ern was man enough to step up and defend the mostly peaceful assassination attempt before they really nailed down the narrative.

The other pussies will probably wait until tomorrow after they get a chance to read all the emails

Respect for jumping in early Ern and not waiting around.
