I still wonder, though, if covering that shot and exposing his lies to a certain degree is nessesary.

spjunkies Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 You guys know there's a high chance that people like most of us in this thread are next, right? "Any consistent criticism of the administration is seen as a threat against the president ". We are in dark times my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everythig Fox News and the right wing echo chamber said Obama’s administration did, this orange blob is doing. Not only unqualified, but a political hack in every sense of the word. A Trump toady who is now acting Attorney General of the United States. And then you have the White House Press Secretary using doctored footage from a far right conspiracy purveyor to justify removing credentials from a White House correspondent. Dark times indeed.

I see a man who maintains his professionalism in the face of lunatic rantings... from Trump AND his supporters. I do hope the White House Press Corps organize some sort of protest over this.

The Evil Genius Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Ffs, Acosta did nothing wrong other than expect diplomacy from a cancerous administration. Why is being presidential so hard for this orange buffoon? Also, where is the tanning bed located in the WH? **** Grimace and her lies and infowar video cons. **** President Syphilis. And while we're here, **** anyone who supports the Party of Trump. For once, I hope the media takes off the kid gloves in response and goes on offense.

It's just acting like an adult. And yeah, gotta love the irony of SHS and other Trumpbots constantly yelling about fake news and then literally sending out a doctored video from a far right lunatic conspiracy theory site as "proof" of something they claim happened.

Burgold Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 This Acosta thing is one of the biggest snowflake nothing burgers I've ever seen. He didn't push her, hit her, harm her or do anything warranting outrage. That this "incident" is being used an excuse from the anti-PC, the left overreacts to everything, crowd is both laughable and absurd. They wanted an excuse to ban him. They invented one.

88Comrade2000 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I wonder if you can cover Trump without actually covering him. You report on what's happening but you don't give him air time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The worst part is Trump acting like a man-baby and walking away from the podium when Acosta tried to ask a follow up question. He literally turns his back and walks away until Acosta hands over the mic. WTF...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not in the normal sense of that phrase where you're talking about a person who can act immature sometimes. I mean he literally has the mind of a child. It's in the way he views the world, the way he interacts with people, the way he throws temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way, his complete and utter bliss at being ignorant of anything he doesn't want to understand.

Right, and Trump supporters try to praise him for being so off the cuff, but if you really dissect Trump giving answers. When it comes to policy itself, it is so wooden and hallow. He has nothing to really say or explain, or elaborate on, and will quickly pivot the statement away from policy. 2 years on the job "training" and he still knows little to nothing about anything.

I've seen Presidents, Head Coaches, and others summarily end a press conference when they get frustrated enough with questioning. I can't really call him out on that. They all do it.

At some point, the sensible portion of this country needs to stop catering to the delusions of the minority, I guess my worry is that it's not the majority who are delusional or easily lead a stray. For example I wouldn't have believed anything CNN told me about Obama about 4 years ago. I'm much more aware of how facts are presented to me and how to verify them now than I was then. But even then, I was far from an idiot or uneducated. Just because we know doesnt mean everyone does and it's going to take as many as we can get to bring these ****s down.
