I'm not a fan of Acosta, he gets on my nerves, but the white house using an obviously doctored tape and an obvious false story as an excuse to ban him is beyond bullshit.  They lied straight to everyones face.

this is where I'm at.  I agree that Acosta's grandstanding and instigating when asking questions but that is not the issue/reason he lost his credentials.  If Trump is tired of him just don't turn to him and choose one of the other reporters in the room.

SInce y'all seem to be my clearinghouse for all things political, let me tell a story.  A couple of them, actually.  Three, if you want to be specific. When I was 14 I went with a family frien

If they would have said they felt he consistently disrupts press briefings or causes an unfair atmosphere for other reporters, something like that.  Don't know if I would necessarily agree, but I could see that.  But they made up a bullshit lie, and repeatedly keep pushing the lie.   It's hard to wrap your head around that.

For real that is fucked up.  Here's an idea, how about answer her with respect and honesty and go about your day.

And this is why Acosta acts the way he does. Trump does nothing but disrespect all that dare question him and his motives. Sometimes you need an antagonizer to get something real out of an asshole like Trump.

Gimme a break. Acosta acts that way because he likes the notoriety. He’s not making any difference.

It’s like when he’s yelling at the back of the press conference and people are asking him to just be quiet.

Yeah, I'm sure if he's calm and "respectful" he'll get honest answers.  As long as he only asks "respectful" questions.  He should be more like Sean Hannity, who is very "respectful" and asks only "respectful" questions.

Just catching up. Are people here really upset about Acosta?  The guy has repeatedly acted like a douchebag.  I bet other members of press are fine with him being excluded. He wasted everyone’s time grandstanding and instigating when other reporters could be asking questions. 

You mean doing his job?

He routinely makes a scene of things. Would you dispute that?

Is it weird to wonder, if you were standing next to that, whether you would actually step forward and punch the President in his face?  I'm not saying I would do such a thing, but is it weird to think, when you hear him do this, that someone who is so grossly disrespectful deserves to be thrashed?  And that it is kind of your duty, as a man, to do such a thing?  Or at least to have an impulse to do such a thing?

They both make things a scene. The difference is that it’s Trump’s show.  Acosta can’t kick Trump out, but the opposite could, and did, happen. 

Ahh so you're excusing Trump's behavior.  Typical of you people.

It's only a scene because the president responds like a child. Jim Acosta is good at his job.

He’s good at trying to get himself attention.  Again, remember when he had himself filmed yelling at a long distance at the President for no effect other than gaining some Twitter Resistance love?

Trump is your messiah. Why should we take anything you say regarding him serious? You’re a blind man in a cult of visions.

She doesn't hate gay people. She was outing gay repubs as gay. 

I did the same thing today, I outed every southern conservative as gay (which they ALL are!) and a few republican stalkers threw a major hissy fit with the neg button. They're following me all over the board like I'm Tucker Carlson and they're antifa.

Yesterday I called every conservative fat, which they ALL are, and the same thing happened.

They're ALL racist, stupid and evil too. But that's obvious.

And they're all murderers, rapists, racists, Nazis and hypocrites. And they're cowards. And illiterates. And they're not funny and they can't understand science and they believe in religious fairy tales. 

And every libertarian is actually a reoublican.

Oh, they're ALL liars. And they have no integrity. And they're greedy. And childish. And sexually perverse. Etc.

They're all Trump. Basically.

Fuck that. It’s not “Trump’s show”. It’s a presidential press conference and the press is there to ask questions as a proxy for the American people.

If Trump wants it to be his show, go back to “The Apprentice”.

I miss where I excused it.

Unfortunately for Jim, his position in life is not such that he can be a douchebag repeatedly toward the President, whether jusitified or not. 

This President and every one before him is given extra license to be a dickhead if they so choose. You’d rather they wouldn’t be one, but that’s the case. Applies to powerful people everywhere. 

I’m surprised that people think Acosta is allowed to behave however he wants because he’s a reporter. He wasn’t thrown in jail, he had his pass pulled. He’s welcome to harass other less significant politicians elsewhere.

I remember that and Acosta was acting like a complete twit.  He obviously measured that one out.

I'm not even talking about Acosta.  Jesus Christ.

Acosta could have been thrown in jail and you would find a way to defend what Trump was doing.

No, sorry that’s a different thing entirely.  

A drama queen reporter got his wings clipped. Big deal. You should start a GoFundMe for him
