re: The View's co-host Sunny Hostin says female intern battered Acosta

Except you did, but it may appear as though it's not really your fault, you don't seem to know any better.

It's pointless to engage a closed minded zealot like that prog.

The definition of "invasion" in the context President Trump used the word is:

I'm not shocked that some bogus cryptozoologist would say something like this.

you saw seaweed in the San Francisco Bay, but in context you thought you found the fricking Leviathan.

quote:

---

Acosta was not doing his job.

---

You're making shite up. he asked Trump two questions, 'Why do you characterize the caravan as an invasion?'

[insert child trying to take Mr. Microphone away here]

...and 'Are you worried about indictments from the Mueller investigation?'

quote:

---

The not giving up the mic was the last straw.

---

If it was the last straw, why did the president answer the next question which came after the attempt to silence Acosta?

quote:

---

Acosta has made sure he's front and center the story for CNN since the first Trump presser.

---

How can you have this so backwards?

It's TRUMP that made sure Acosta and CNN were front and center on this. If the man knew how to control his emotions, he wouldn't let people use him the way they do.

quote:

---

You are deliberately glossing over Acosta’s transgressions. He asked his 2 questions. The intern’s job is to move things along by taking the mic and giving it to someone else for their questions. Acosta wanted yet another question. Up to this point Trump has cordially answered Acosta’s questions.

---

Jesus, if you people didn't intentionally lie, you wouldn't be able to bitch and moan so much.

First Acosta asked about calling the caravan an invasion.

Then the intern tried to silence him by taking the mic.

And THEN Acosta asked his second question, after fending off the intern, regarding concern over indictments from the investigation.

quote:

---

you can’t disrespect the people that work there as well as the other reporters that also want to ask questions.

---

You're trying too hard.

Acosta asked two questions, just like most of the rest of the press corps who asked questions. It's just that the president was rude and kept interrupting him while trying to ask the questions.

Stop trying to make this into something it isn't.

quote:

---

Except you did, but it may appear as though it's not really your fault, you don't seem to know any better.

---

Did Acosta make the statement I quoted or not?

Yes or no will suffice.

Dumb as a f*cking doornail.

Another Affirmative Action failure.

quote:

---

You're conveniently leaving off the statement

---

How is that convenient? My point was that he asked two questions, one before the mic grab, and the other question after the mic grab. His statements leading up to the questions are irrelevant as to where they occurred relative to the mic grab.

quote:

---

it was Trump that made Acosta grandstand and refuse to give up the mic

---

No, it was Trump who was grandstanding and tried to have his lackey grab the mic.

If Trump had just let Acosta ask his questions, perhaps with a little prodding to keep it moving along, this wouldn't have gotten blown out of proportion.

quote:

---

He can make journalists act like raging douchebags!

---

What makes you think Trump made Acosta a raging douchebag? From where I'm sitting, they're both raging douchebags. Have you ever been interviewed by a journalist? It's almost like they have to pass some sort of douchebag exam before they graduate.

I get it, you're desperate for someone in government you feel represents you and you think Trump is the one throwing you a life ring. Bad news, he's throwing you an anchor and laughing all the way to the bank at how stupid you are. When you vote for the lesser of two evils, you still end up with an evil person.

I sure miss how Reagan used to handle the press. If Trump wasn't so self-absorbed and self-assured, he might benefit from a look at how a pro does it.

you are just trying to ridicule me because you are wrong and I am right.

Uh...

Seaweed can't swim against the tide, chase sea lions or raise itself 10 feet straight up out of the water.

...you're kind of ridiculing yourself.

quote:

---

Are you claiming seaweed can swim against the tide, chase sea lions and raise itself 10 feet straight up out of the water?

---

No, I'm claiming you're a full on retard with your sea monster bullshite.

I mean, you watch The View, believe in sea monsters, sell trash on the sidewalk, why should anyone take you seriously?

Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't such a good idea to eat all that acid back in the day?
