Yea. Ted Baxter strikes again. What an idiot with a complete lack of self awareness.

It's sad. The media has gone from investigation and serious questions to lecturing the President to his face. This guy and Don Lemon are taking CNN down the toilet.

Acosta has had his press pass revoked. Hopefully permanently. The entire press conference was a disgrace. Obama would not have had this happen to him. Further, the others in the room feel justified in simply standing up and screaming questions at Trump over and above those that have the microphone. I honestly don't understand the disrespect, not just the other journalists asking their question, but for Trump himself. It is like a team of rabid dogs. And, not to mention the daily beatings Sarah Huckabee gets at the hands of these cretins.

Don Lemon is a douche bag. Busily stating we should not categorize/demonize a group of people and the next breath say all white men are the biggest terrorist threat. Wait...what?

Don Lemon. Dope at large:

Sarah probably forwarded a video unknowingly doctored. It happens. However, I see no reason for Sarah to forward any video. The incident was plastered all over the news. Further, dropping this out there is a great distraction from Acosta and his belligerent personality.

Trump needs a bouncer. The Presidential Bouncer. I would pay to watch that.

Maybe join the team.

Time to retire Bernie. Just how the hell did Obama win two terms? Not to mention the African-Americans that are in office???? Pulling the race card when it does not need pulling.

For better or worst you have to admit Trump has spiced up American politics.

It is entertaining. Even more so the political correctness thrown out the window. Although, sometimes Trump says some really stupid things.

Sped up or not Acosta physically prevented the intern from taking the mike. She was doing her job. Trump pointed at another reported so time is up. Be a gentleman and a good human being. Don't treat a young lady like that. The mike does not belong to Jim Acosta or CNN. It belongs to the White House. Every reporter there is there because they have a privilege others don't have. Why abuse it?

If there was ever something that needed thrown out a window, political correctness would be that thing.

The USA will eventually end up with all the folks who won't wear a pink vagina hat or an antifa mask being rounded up and "erased" in whatever method is the most "green".

Revelations, the part of the bible seemingly written by someone on an acid trip, has become believable.

The CNN guy incident is unimportant. Both men behaved in a way that they deserved each other.

What becomes of Robert Mueller's investigation - that is the important thing. That the Donald kicked Sessions - dont try starting a hair splitting orgy: he was fired, plain and simple - so shortly after the elections and brought in a loyal follower instead, is reason to be concerned about the going-on of the investigation.

Trump is not going to get burned again. Matthew Whitaker has been appointed 'acting' attorney general. He can remain at that position for 210 days. It's a job tryout. He could end up being the actual AG or not. Whitaker has been critical of Mueller's over reach on the probe. Probably why he got the job.

Bilge_Rat · 11-08-18, 03:22 PM

Mueller is now on borrowed time. If he has any evidence that Trump was somehow colluding with the Russians in 2016, he has to produce it now.

Now that Trump has locked up GOP support in the Senate and there is no possibility of a law to protect the investigation, he will act quickly, certainly before the end of the year to shut down the investigation.

The Democrats will have a meltdown, but if there is no actual evidence, it will blow over in a few weeks.

The only real jeopardy to Trump would be if Mueller actually has any evidence of criminal acts by Trump, not dubious "obstruction of justice" charges.
