Holy shot..this is unbelievable! Trump is disgusting! He is the terrible person. Just imagine what kind of father or husband he is. People like that don't stop being themselves. Thrilled we have a democratic house. Check mate. This was a set up. It is Jim Acosta's job to ask tough questions. He has earned the respect to be there as any journalists does. Trump and Sanders are vindictive and go to extremes with their lies and gaslighting. And their base eats it up. It's so damned bizarre. And dangerous...

Jim Acosta has had his WH credentials revoked.
Accused of assaulting the female intern when he didn't hand her the microphone during Trump's press conference.
Video and photos show otherwise.
I am so sad.

I am so sad. I just saw Jim Acosta interviewed on CNN. Trump didn't like the hard questions so the White House decided to lie to try to discredit Acosta and have an excuse to remove him. I'm so disgusted.

Rod stein is no longer in charge/overseeing the Mueller investigation. Sessions replacement is, Well, now I guess we will see if all those republicans meant it when they said they’d protect Mueller. They will not do a thing.

Sadly, I'm not surprised at all that Sanders would do that. She lies for a living - lies almost as much as her boss, which is quite an accomplishment. If I were Jim Acosta I'd be seriously tempted to sue her for defamation.

She openly lies on a daily basis. Without remorse.

Damn, all that money wasted on the Mueller investigation when all we had to do was sit back and wait for this guy's book.

Especially dangerous given that a man at a Trump rally a few weeks ago made a throat slitting motion to Acosta.

Maybe the fuckwad is flipping out in his rage because he knows his son is about to be indicted because of him. Oh, his son is likely about to be indicted, but there's no chance that's the cause of his rage. He doesn't love his son. He's incapable of loving anyone. He won't care. He's only concerned that Jr and the other kids will finally wake up, disown him, and testify against him because they've finally accepted that reality & theyre ready to admit they've water their lives trying to earn this monster's love.

Sadly, this book is likely a more thorough investigation than the one by the House Intelligence Committee. And let's not forget lindas that Nixon wasn't brought down by government investigators. He was brought down by journalists. After he did everything in his power to try to get rid of those in government who were investigating him.
I guess that is why I have hope that even though it seems like Trump is putting everything in motion to shut down Mueller, there are lots of pesky journalists out there who won't give up until we have answers.

The Acosta furore is clearly Trumps way of creating a smokescreen/diversion from a horrible press conference that showed Trump in his true colours - nasty irascible bully.

Kyle Griffin...
“People close to Trump tell NYT that Matthew Whitaker first came to the attention of Trump because he liked watching Whitaker attack Mueller's investigation on TV. Trump was a fan of his new acting A.G.'s TV appearances.”
Now we know what trump is doing. He’s turning the Federal Government into a reality show. Because that is all he knows.

Radley Balko..
“Last year, a Beverly Hills tax attorney wrote an op-ed defending Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns. Trump appointed him to head the IRS.
Last year, an ex-US attorney went on cable news to defend Trump from the Mueller investigation. He’s now the acting attorney general.”

“If Trump tries to fire Mueller, senior Democratic officials tell Politico that Mueller would likely get an immediate summons to Capitol Hill for nationally televised testimony about his findings.”

It would be nice if they could trust their Republican colleagues in the Senate to do the right thing so this sort of action wasn't needed.

Technically Ron..
“So the US press secretary is sharing doctored videos from a far right conspiracy theorist website in order to discredit journalists the president thinks are mean to him, and a good percentage of people think this is fine, just in case you were wondering how fucked we are”
I watched both videos. The real video shows Acosta putting him hand on the mic to stop the woman from grabbing it.
The video the TWH released shows this arm coming from somewhere touching the woman.
And there is this tweet from Artie J Cooper.
“And there's more! It appears that this reporter may have been set up. For one thing, the president never calls on Acosta, and here he is at the front of the room. An attendee took a photo from this angle to show Acosta's innocence, and look who is seen smirking in the background!”
Since I don’t know how to bring pictures over, the person with the smirk is Sarah Sanders.

When I watched the video last night it seemed obvious to me that a) he didn't put his hand on her and b) his arm was just keeping her out of his personal space when she was trying to grab the mic. The doctored video I read about (which won't play on my browser so I can't personally confirm) seemed to be sped up to make it appear Acosta was hacking the reporter. I can not stand the insufferable woman so I don't watch her press conferences. Where does Acosta normally sit?

Garrett Haake..
“Every Republican voter I spoke to in Texas, without exception, mentioned the caravan & border security as motivating factors in their midterm vote.”
Is this the reason why Texans re-elected Cruz to keep a Republican majority in the Senate??? Because they see the Republicans tough on border security?
If so, how stupid is that? There isn’t a Democrat around who doesn’t believe in border security. All borders. Plus the fact they were conned by don the con. Yet again.
