I usually avoid posting anything Donald Trump related, but...

Apparently a Judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore Jim Acosta's White House press pass...
Shade70 · 51-55, M
Not just any judge, but a Trump appointed judge. That's got to make the impending Twitter rant awkward...

@Shade70 Why? When has Trump ever been reluctant to criticize anyone, friend or foe?
Shade70 · 51-55, M
@eli1601 good point.

@eli1601 Putin? Neo-Nazis?
Good. I really don’t understand “conservatives” logic when they want to suppress free speech and bypass due process. Giving the president jurisdiction to revoke a press pass on any ground they please is extremely dangerous and will have negative consequences towards news reported. There’s a reason why over 12 other media outlets including Fox News are supporting CNN’s side. As far as legal precedent, there’s never been an instance where the press has been kicked out of a White House briefing on the grounds that a reporter was being “rude” to the president. Furthermore, the White House has failed to disclose a consistent credible reason to revoke his press pass which contributed to the courts decision....honestly, you’d think someone who’s 72 years old and the representative of a country would have thicker skin.

Not sure why people responding are turning this into a "Trump is awesome and Acosta is bad" thing. That is so not the point. We have freedom of the press in this country, regardless of who you like or dislike. We won't even bring the doctored video into it...
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Laifu Yeah... that really is the point. It's not about one side or the other.
xixgun · M
Fine. Stop having White House press briefings altogether and just transmit to all media outlets written statements. No questions accepted. No questions answered.
daisymay · 51-55, T
@xixgun You are putting forth that media critical of the Orange Moron is state-run propaganda? Woo boy, you need to adjust your meds.
xixgun · M
@daisymay backatcha, baby cakes. Remember when no one could say anything about Obama without being called a racist?
daisymay · 51-55, T
@xixgun [quote]Remember when no one could say [b]anything[/b] about Obama without being called a racist[/quote]

No, I don't remember that at all. I remember people getting pissed when they were called out for saying actual racist things, though. Mostly because it happened all the time.

Anyway, deflection noted.

You think that media currently critical of the Orange Moron is [b]state-run propaganda[/b] and that is pretty wacko.

@Mercman Awww, did you mistake me for my cat? I know the picture must be confusing for you.

@Mercman You can shave just about anything with that edge you’re showing 😂

@Overwatch6 The judge restored the pass because ; 'CNN is a bunch of entitled whiny ass pussies. Jim is a fucktard who thinks he's entitled to 75 questions and an exclusive.'

Can you explain how this makes any sense ?

I saw that. Not really surprising considering there's already case precedent for it, but still gratifying 😁
Echoing · 61-69, F
I can't believe I am joining in, I hate politics. BUT... *smile* This is my take on the whole thing. We all have the right to who comes into our house/home. If a person insults you or causes a fuss.. we would ask them to leave. I do not understand all this disrespect to the President of this country. I do not care if you like them or not. It's like this to me... WE all have worked for a boss we disliked, but we respected him/her for their position. I bet no one ever talked to the man/woman in charge at their job with such disrespect or disregard without getting fired!
Echoing · 61-69, F
yes I did. "I am sorry"...I was wrong. I was heated at another and I DID lose track of who was talking to me. @Laifu My total bad.
Laifu · 46-50, F
@Echoing thanks. I appreciate that. I can be an ass, but I wasn't attempting to be one to you. You gave intelligent, rational answers backing up your opinion, and I respect that.
Echoing · 61-69, F
Thank you @Laifu Peace! I'm an older woman who still knows how to learn. A trigger went off... I am sorry I took aim. *smile*

This shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone, the case law on this was pretty clear, the judge would have had to break precedent to rule against CNN.

Even Fox news sided with CNN here, the Press is the only institution named in the Constitution as protected, so it's pretty important that it BE protected.
curiosi · 61-69, F
That almost shocks me (liberal judges don't reason so......). Anyone walks into a business and is rude they will be asked to leave and escorted if necessary why should this be any different?
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@eli1601 While a accept the facts of your point, there are all those lies. It is kind of their job to call him out on that stuff. (Not that any other President has not told lies. But in sheer volume and audacity, Trump has set records.)
eli1601 · 70-79, M
@whowasthatmaskedman He likes to set the standard
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@eli1601 🤣😂🤣😂👍️
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
So Trumps next move will be to order a "Sin bin of silence" built where all the bad reporters have to go for "time out". And it will be a contest to see who can spend the most time in it. And Yes. The obvious answer is to put Trump in a cone of silence. If only we COULD!
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@eli1601 Saturday early Morning. Going to be a lovely day.👍️
eli1601 · 70-79, M
@whowasthatmaskedman Still Friday morning here. 11:31 A.M.

@eli1601 (Puts on his old '45 of "Midnight in Moscow")😉
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
From my understanding any person who works in the White House does so at the pleasure of the president so wth
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@Mountainlady16 'probably a liberal judge.' .... lol , the judge was appointed by Trump.

Your understanding of this matter really isn't very good at all is it ?

@Mountainlady16 His nickname will forever be Jim Acosted a woman.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Mountainlady16 Acosta doesn't work in the WH. He's a member of the protected free press.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
And, how do you feel about that?
SW-User
@MarkPaul Well, I'm surprised. It has definitely caught my attention.
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
So much winning.
SW-User
Jim Acosted an intern can go fuck himself.
Laifu · 46-50, F
@SW-User Sigh. The White House put out doctored video. We have the actual video, which corresponds with witness testimony. Learn to actually read.
SW-User
@Laifu Get the fuck outta here. "Doctored?" How the fuck was it doctored? You mean they zoomed in on what he was doing? He still did it. 😂
Laifu · 46-50, F
@SW-User I remember now why I left this site.
The stupidity of most of the members actually hurts me. https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/expert-acosta-video-distributed-by-white-house-was-doctored-1.6637262

katielass · F
