If trump was remotely honorable he wouldn’t be calling the free press the enemy of the people
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
He clearly limited to some members of the press that don’t publish facts and simply push the liberal democrat agenda. It’s about time there was pushback on that. No problem with them publishing or broadcasting just label as opinion and do not label as news. Be truthful @Zaphod42

Where DO you get your news ?@jackjjackson
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Factual sources not partisan opinion. @monte3

They don't, although Trump not taking any BS is another reason to admire him. So many reasons why we are so lucky to have this president.

To call the bottomt two horse faces is to insult good horseflesh. @curiosi

@workathome Have YOU ever heard of respect for the office of President? I see you are okay also with him almost hitting a young woman who was only doing her job...you are quite a piece of work when your fanatical hated of Trump allows you to excuse or overlook such bad behavior.

Acosta didn't even ASK a question which is WHAT HE IS THERE FOR! The first words out of the weasel's mouth was Mr. President Ï'd like to challenge you..." CHALLENGE you?He was there under false pretenses and deserved to get thrown out.

Do you have any idea what you are even TALKING about?

BTW...had that been Obama and a FOX News reporter would you have had the same reaction?

And no I don't expect you to answer that question honestly
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
So you’re uninformed, unread, unaware of basic civics and complete jackass. What else?

Fire him for what? Fire him because that lady aggressively reached over to pull the mic away from him, and acosta saying "excuse me ma'am, and his other arm naturally and instinctively coming down on top of hers (not in a karate chop)) only causing her arm to slowly move a few inches down to try to block since he could not have easily stepped to the side away from her. And then she backs off. There's no movements that suggest anything close to a single bruise or fight, or any inappropriate behavior by him happened, etc.

I'm thinking the people reporting the story as him inappropriately touching her, or karate chopping her, or that he was the one pulling the mic away, or restraining her arm should be fired...because that is ALL made up.

I don't care if anyone likes or dislikes Acosta...but the fact that this meme and other people are celebrating that his credentials are pulled because of people falsely reporting an incident? There is nothing to celebrate about that. All such behavior like that should be immediately condemned. Shame on you really. Apparently partisan politics are way more important to you, apparently celebrating Trump acting like a fascist and banning whoever he likes for any reason he feels like is way more important to you. Why is that?

Acosta isn’t even a journalist. And this isn’t his first misbehavior. POTUS has every right to issue credentials or to deny them to anyone they feel they should. As Obama did before him. If this was just about asking difficult questions or being rude, a half dozen others would justifiably lost their access. Acosta is a piece of shit@nutrigrain
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Fine support a douchebag. @nutrigrain

Acosta didn’t do anything wrong except ask a question Trump refused to answer. Instead of Trump acting like an adult and doing his job, he decides act like a brat. Pacing back and forth from the podium, telling the journalists to stop talking and sit down, etc.

If we have to go this route and wish for journalists to be fired just for upsetting a president with a simple yes or no question, then why have free press at all?
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@SW-User You really ARE stupid aren't you? Because it has a question mark at the end does NOT make it a real question as the example I gave shows. Also when Acosta says "I want to CHALLENGE you..." that is NOT a question but just what the word means ..a CHALLENGE. Can't you get that through your thick head? It is not "The Jim Acosta Show" but a White House press conference where re[porters ask QUESTIONS not issue CHALLENGES .... got it? And since you also seem okay with him strong arming a 21 year old woman as well I guess that says something about you, too.

@Abrienda Not my fault. No need to continue the debate. You have proved to me you are a dumbass.

[quote]Because it has a question mark at the end doesn’t make it a question[/quote]

Dumbass it’s still a question.

[b]If it’s not a question then it’s turns into a statement.[/b]

A question can start off with:

Do you....

What about...

How about...

Are you..

This is the same format Acosta used when asking a question.

Some types of questions that may be used in an educational context are listed in Bloom's Taxonomy of educational objectives. These include questions designed to test and promote:

@Abrienda The principal use of questions is to elicit information from the person being addressed by indicating the information which the speaker (or writer) desires [2]. However, questions can also be used for a number of other purposes. Questions may be asked for the purpose of testing someone's knowledge, as in a quiz or examination. These are termed display questions [3]. Raising a question may guide the questioner along an avenue of research

A research question is an interrogative statement that manifests the objective or line of scholarly or scientific inquiry designed to address a specific gap in knowledge. Research questions are expressed in a language that is appropriate for the academic community that has the greatest interest in answers that would address said gap. These interrogative statements serve as launching points for the academic pursuit of new knowledge by directing and delimiting an investigation of a topic, a set of studies, or an entire program of research.

A rhetorical question is asked to make a point, and does not expect an answer (often the answer is implied or obvious). As such, it is not a true question. Similarly, requests for things other than information, as with "Would you pass the salt?" are interrogative in form, but are not true questions.

Pre-suppositional or loaded questions, such as "Have you stopped beating your wife?" may be used as a joke or to embarrass an audience, because any answer a person could give would imply more information than he was willing to affirm.

@EugenieLaBorgia Kinda looks like Acosta, non?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
That an insult to Sponge Bob 😀 @Abrienda

If Trumps people were even remotely credible they would not offer as proof an altered video from Alex Jones Infowars as proof he did something wrong.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@jackjjackson I did and it was manipulated
monte3 · 70-79, M
The video was doctored and no big deal anyway. Trump can not tolerate anyone standing up to him.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
The “undoctored” one. Both show Acosta trying to get more than his share of questions depriving other reporters and refusing to turn over the mic when politely asked. Not acceptable journalistic behavior. @monte3
AnneHoney · 36-40, F
CNN should not be allowed to call themselves a news station.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Anyone who knows anything knows that CNN stopped reporting news in 2015. @AnneHoney

If cnn were reputable they never would have hired him. Clearly he's just a narcissistic loser who undoubtedly couldn't make the grade in any other field.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
If the Republican party was remotely reputable they would fire Trump. Your point is.............??
AnneHoney · 36-40, F
You gave not one specific. Servicing the debt Obama doubled. Running up more waste than every President before him combined. Huge difference than Greece, our economy can handle it and grow out of it. Fixing the worldwide disaster Obama left was not going to be easy. Meanwhile Europe remains in recession despite economic easing at its highest levels. Asia dropping like a rock. Only the USA growing and yet again needed to save the world as we have over and over.@whowasthatmaskedman
AnneHoney · 36-40, F
Not to mention Obama managed to run up his absurd debt while interest rates were at or near zero. His regulations and Obamacare choking business, killing middle class jobs that had insurance and other benefits. Sending those jobs to other countries as part of his globalist world view. Forcing former middle class families to work 3' 4' even 5 minimum wage jobs just to survive. @AnneHoney

I believe Trump and Acosta hate each other because they are exactly alike.

More bad behavior. Acosta is a hack. Wait that’s an insult to hacks. @beckyromero
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@AnneHoney What does any of that have to do with what I wrote? I am talking about behavior in public. And what has the UK parliament have to do with this..at all?
