At party with a sitting president of the United States and other officials.

Can you imagine if Obama had this kind of party?

Hard to tell with all the make up and costumes.
She could be a teenager.

... and demolish the People's House.

...but that looks like about the most boring party you could ever go to.

If you don't mind me asking.

Spoiler alert: Gatsby is found dead, floating in his swimming pool.

a conversation about this party. It was obvious that Ari didn't know how it ended and he didn't even pause before going on to his next point. I'm not slamming Ari since I couldn't remember that ending on the spot either. But I was curious and wished that Ari had said something like, why don't you remind us or something. It was obvious the guest had a point to make. Anyway, thanks for the reminder.

Makes me think that the stuff inside that we didn't see was like some Eyes Wide Shut shit.

but to give the 31st President credit, I don’t think he threw parties with that sort of entertainment while people were starving during the Great Depression.

How come I found myself thinking about Belshazzar’s Feast while watching this clip?

The Almighty would find it far easier to post His message on the walls of Mar a Lago than He did when the hand wrote “Mene, Mene, Tekel…” on the wall of Belshazzar’s palace back in the day.

While Jews were being sent to concentration camps and murdered, high ranking Gestapo
were having lavish decadent parties with naked women, champagne and caviar.

…and made sure his little girl went to a Purity Ball where she pledged herself to Daddy and Jesus in that order.

So I’m sure he gets his jollies just thinking about this scene of debauchery.
