[tinselwolverine]

Per 790 KABC radio.

Probably because weed is moving foward and Sessions and his GOP brothers are stuck in the 1950’s. Oh and Trump and Jeffery priobably just don’t like each other lol.

There was a recent article about Don Trump Jr. telling friends he thought he might be indicted.

hmmmm interesting..

Sessions should have never agreed to recuse. That whole path is now off the table.

next

-Trump Jr will be indicted for item unrelated to Russia collusion
-Fisa releases will now move forward, Rosentein will be exposed.
-Anti Trust against big tech will gain steam

-Dem House will have to decide if they are more interested in revenge or working for Unity, Trump willing to go ether way says in Press Conference today


He also unloaded on Acosta again. I agreed Acosta is rude, I would have stopped short of calling him a terrible person but that's trump being trump.

I thought Acosta went overboard. Sure, the President should handle the situation better but Acosta was greedy as fuck with multiple questions.

A president who lies as much as this imbecile in the Oval Office has no right to call anyone out. Does the jackass ever call out Fox News aka Fixed (Trump Loving) News? It’s the press. This is America’s land of the free Mr President stop your lying and be truthful. Something you and your administration have a hard time doing.


No he never does and guys like Hannity are on stage with him , and is don’t care after the fact if Fox News said anything about it. Hnnity has major sway unfortunately on the president and the mindless GOP masses who watch Fixed News.

I might buy into some semi-tinfoil hat stuff on this Acosta accosting thing. I saw a claim that Sanders had shared video that was doctored to make Acosta look more aggressive. It's subtle, but I think someone might have messed with the video. Instead of focusing on Acosta's block/karate chop, focus on how aggressively the woman appears to reach/lunge for the microphone and then pull/jerk to try to get it away from him. It's sophisticated, not just sped up or slowed down, because it still works in slow mo. I think the timing may be adjusted frame by frame to make a smoother motion appear to have come to a more sudden stop, as if there was more of an impact, but just a little.

She reached for his mic 4x over his gesturing and under it, and gave him a scornful look directly in his face @ one point.

Pressers by Drumpf and Sanders are just loaded with BS for the most part, with reporters asking questions which they already know that they won't get a straight, much less a truthful answer, as well as likely being belittled or ignored by either. But it is their job to ask away anyhow, b/c their bosses will replace them with someone else if they give up in irritation and frustration.

Acosta being banned by the White House after this latest charade is no surprise, and I expect to see more crafty and inventive ways to discredit and demean the press to continue.

Acosta is a crybaby douche. If anyone pulled half the shit he pulls with this president on Obama, the press would be up in arms about their lack of decorum and respect for the office. Acosta thinks he's some kind of 1st amendment martyr when he's nothing but a failed bully. He deserves nothing but ridicule and scorn.

But does he deserve doctored videos?

[tigermud]

I was watching the presser live at the time it occurred, I do not think Acosta was too aggressive. I do think he is rude though and often asks questions at the most inappropriate times. Like the time he was shouting crap out during Trumps visit with Kim that was just completely inappropriate and I don't blame trump one bit for not being able to stand the guy.

 

[Gulo Blue]

His questions come with a healthy side of his opinions.

 

[Spartanmack]

of course not. He should get his press pass revoked for reasons that have nothing to do with that video, doctored or undoctored. That's the mistake the administration is making here, in my opinion.

Edit: I can't watch the videos here, so I'm not opining on whether it's doctored or not. From what I have seen of the video, the forearm move doesn't matter. The fact she asked for then went for the mic and he didn't relinquish it is also enough, but again I think he earned the expulsion well before any of that happened.

 

[Spartanmack]

just saw a headline on msn.com that Chris Christy is being considered for the AG spot. I didn't care for him as Governor but he has a solid record as a prosecutor and could be a good candidate for the job. But part of me hopes he gets just so I can read mc's temper tantrums and rants about how awful and stupid he is.

 

[Gulo Blue]

Sanders has described it as "placing his hands on a young woman" which carries far more sinister connotations than what happened.


There are 2 issues. 1) does he deserve to have his press pass revoked, and 2) is Sanders incorrectly characterizing the physical interaction? Both can be yes at the same time.



He's physically preventing her from taking the mic, and that might be inappropriate in that setting (I don't know the history, but the intern is an extension of Trump's authority, that's Trump's mic, not Acosta's), but the phrase "put hands on a woman" implies abuse, and is a far more serious charge than breaking press decorum.

I didn't realize it was PJW that was accused of being the source of the doctored vid

https://www.infowars.com/the-truth-about-the-jim-acosta-controversy/

He says it's not doctored just zoomed in

 

[Spartanmack]

But does he deserve doctored videos?

now ive seen the supposedly doctored video and the explanation forn the guy accused of doctoring the video. first, its impossible to have a different impression of what happened based on the differences in the videos. second, i believe Paul Joseph Watson's explanation of the differences - one is zoomed the other is not, nothing is slowed down and altered in any way other than zooming in. the idea that the press is running with this "doctored video" slant to discredit yheir actions against Acosta is laughablly stupid. if a fox news reporter did that to an Obama intern, these same people would be demanding his arrest.. this is a joke.

this is the same bull shit excuse idiots like mc used in an attempt to discredit the videos showing baby murderers admitting ro breaking the law and selling baby parts for profit.
