(959 posts)I have to admire him for tenacity. But now Dump will just refuse to engage him, other than the usual ridicule and name calling. Acosta has the high ground. He only makes Dump look smaller and more venal.

(15,682 posts)The obvious is the maggot took Jim Acosta's hard press pass away for "asking questions" he didn't like. The court ruled in Acosta's favor and he gets his pass back Yay!!
The truly important part is that the justice system worked the way it was intended - upholding the first amendment and the freedom of our press.
The icing on the cake is that it was a maggot (Trump) appointed judge who made the decision.
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)So now that I think of it, they may call on him to see if he breaks the rules. Which he probably won't. So bottom line they win on this imho

(64,995 posts). . .the crazies screamed that he worked for us not the other way around, over ACA. (Even though that was a bill that got through 2 houses of Congress and has passed judicial muster on several grounds.)
Well, where are they now. PINO works of US, not the other way around.
Hypocrites.

(6,448 posts)As a consolation prize, was the judge female? He disrespects them too.

(24,753 posts)I'm just waiting for the screams of protest "He's a biased Democrat judge" . . . . oh wait, I appointed him . . . . then again, I appointed Jeff Sessions. . . . I don't know any of these people, I don't care how much I said I knew and liked them in the past . . . they're biased Democrats, yes, Sessions too . . . . BOOM (head explodes)."

I'd love to see one where all the reporters turned their backs and just said nothing.

(4,558 posts)Really want to get under Rumps skin? Have all the white house press corps completely stop covering him, and only do press talk with Hillary to give her thoughts and opinions on all white house policy. His head would explode.

Grasswire2
(13,568 posts)No such protection exists for WH press corps, after credentialing authority was ceded to WH Press Office some decades ago.
We have seen this WH work to destroy the power of the watchdog free press.
There is a measure afoot to seek that Congress codify press access to the WH. It's called "People's Bill Of Rights For White House Transparency."
You can read about it at the FB page of the same name. "People's Bill Of Rights For White House Transparency"
It seeks to return credentialing authority to the Correspondents Association, so that only peers would approve credentials and have the power to discipline any reporter.
Check it out.

Even though Acosta can get back into the press room I doubt anyone will call on him for questions.

(5,719 posts)If he does get to ask a question, though, he really should ask "Mr. President, are you tired of winning yet?"
LiberalLovinLug
(14,173 posts)That would hilarious! I'd love him to do it, especially if it is clear that the President refuses to answer any question from him anyways. Why not? It doesn't matter if he gets an answer or not, it would still be out there.

(57 posts)A Trump supporter just told me the judge was appointed by Obama and did not have time to be confirmed so Trump agreed to nominate him because Trump is very kind and would do that favor for Obama. :-/
I wish I was making this up. I'm not.

(22,112 posts)I think they all read the National Enquirer or something like that...
The excuse you passed along in your post is the first I heard of this being used as an excuse! Being very kind to Obama? Yeah, right.
Take care.

(280 posts)CNN Sues President Trump and Top Aides for Banning Jim Acosta from the White House ...and WINS!!
This reporter had the courage to question Trump regarding his political stunt of characterizing migrants as an 'invasion'.
Trump then became visibly irate and vehemently urged an intern to accost this reporter and grab away his microphone.
The real Donald Trump is an entitled, bully, obsessed with power. He is very good at managing to avoid accountability.
Trump's words very clearly show how he views the world and how he uses power:
"And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p*ssy. You can do anything." ~ D. Trump
"You know what else they say about my people? The polls, they say I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldnt lose any voters, okay? Its like incredible." ~ D. Trump
Tips (for Trump) to avoid being a self-serving bully:
Tell the truth, it shall set you free
Practice the golden rule, it breeds credibilty
Be of service to something bigger than yourself
