    I'm no fan of Acosta's behavior. He's relishing in his self-appointed role as "truth teller" (note the quotation marks) by asking the tough questions and not backing down. There are ways of doing that without being a total ass. He and Trump are symbiotic parasites.

    The long and short is, Acodta asked about the " caravan" instead of answering Trump went after Acosta.
    The topic of the question seems to have gotten lost in Trumps latest, at that time, manufactured controversy. People have again fallen for the old made up story about a made up story.

    I don't want to miss a rare opportunity to say something nice about Trump. I thought Judge Kelly (Trump appointee) not only reached the correct conclusion in the Acosta matter but was rather impressive in his legal reasoning. Also judge Dabney Friedrich's recent ruling on the Russian troll farm motion to dismiss struck me as impressive in its legal reasoning. For those who don't know, she is a Trump appointee and former girlfriend of Brett Kavanaugh.

    Some of you may suspect that I say all this tongue-in-cheek, but no, I really was impressed by the way they handled the issues before them. So Trump deserves some credit for those two judges. Don McGahn too.

    Acosta shouldn't have rights revoked but CNN shouldn't be proud to have him representing them

    let's close our eyes for a second and imagine this was said to that mean Mr Acosta ?
    .................................................. .................................................. ....................

    Trump tells Fox

    he "should have" gone to Arlington Cemetery on Monday for Veterans Day but was "extremely busy."

    His schedule that day?

    No events. He also lies.

    He didn’t attend last year.



    I am tired of hearing about the rude press ---

    I think the whole bruhaha gives them more credibility. The President is lying about the caravan, as well as the military stunt. He should have to answer in public for his lies and stunts.

    It's gonna take some messy exchanges but you have to remember, this is the kind of discourse that Trump himself asked for in his campaign and the kind of behavior he has demonstrated from day one. This is nothing more than a case of 'can dish it out but can't take it'.

    The latest White House v Acosta so reminds me of Bobby Seale and the lengths authoritarians will go.

    Don't know anything about this guy's policies but he composes himself extremely well, rationally and effectively. He correctly called out the absurd hyperbole as so few people rarely effectively do

    Since the gentleman asks for examples, how's this one: calling the press "the enemy of the people."
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

    I think he's called the dishonest press the enemy of the people.

    And I don't see why that's controversial.
