    Chris...this format leads me to lose context. Quote bombs are a pain in the arse, so I'll leave it.

    That's a laughable excuse mate! The context is ALL THERE in your quoted comments! I'm guessing that it is more the quote bomb that you can't deal with. You seem to think that because Trump "interrupts/disrupts the question with smart arse comments" this means that journos should go down to his level. Why?

    As I said....he sets the standard. He makes the tone. He interrupts, and the Journos have to do what thay can to deal with it.

    [If I hit quote + reply, all I get is what you posted. I do not get what I posted to which you were responding and which appears as the quote. This, context is totally lost.]

    Anything else that he has done to suggest that he would desperately love to see The Constitution destroyed?

    Is one recent example not enough to demonstrate his intent? How much time do you want me to spend here?

    Trump bloviating about birthright citizenship and foolishly talking about signing an EO to scrap it in keeping with his tough anti-illegal immigration rhetoric, is hardly evidence that he would desperately love to see The Constitution destroyed! And I just don't think that you can come up with anything else!

    It is a good enough recent example to show he wants it his way, and if the Constitution stands in the way......he will do it his way, if he is allowed to get away with it.

    Why are you constantly defending this prick of a bloke? What is it about him you admire so much that you can overlook his many personal failings as a human being? The guy was born with the silver spoon mouth implanted, and his whole career is an exemplar of what makes a total ********.

    Obviously it doesn't. It was just converted from one video format to another, pretty standard stuff.

    You mean because Acosta claimed it wasn't an invasion and stating they wouldn't try to climb the wall when they got here? Well the first is an opinion and the second - when they got here they immediately started climbing the wall, so looks like the prez was right on this one.

    Did you only see the doctored version of events? The whole of the press conference was tRump, putting on display, for all the world to see, his poor character. He was rude and insultive. He didn't let reporters finish their questions, which he didn't answer.

    He acted like a spoiled brat who wasn't getting his way. But then we all know, rRump is now running scared. He feels the piper breathing down his neck, and there's nothing he can do. His deeds have been done, and in all his narcissism and hubris, he left a paper trail.

    If tRump had remained the side show clown, that he is, he most likely could have died, without ever having to answer for his misdeeds. But his coming to power, and being the a**hole that he is, he has invited investigations into his rather large pool of corruption. Thus the downfall of him and his crowd.

    I looked at the pic, featured on the article, and once being a black belt in Shotokan karate, Acosta has the parry of an upward, rising block, or in japanese, age uki. ha ha ha Looks like there is contact between his left arm and her right arm to me. If he did touch her, it was a block, a parry, in order to keep her hand off of the mike he had staked his flag on and was protecting.

    How was a video "doctored"? That intimates it was changed, from what the reality was to what the reality was not.

    Anyways, I have watched enough of these things where the reporters ask pres trump questions, and only some of them come across as acting out in a most unprofessional manner, almost as if their personal hate and animosity towards trump cannot contain itself, as they reveal their inner selves.

    BTW, you can ask penetrating, valid questions without acting like some egotistical *********, trying to fence with a president, to make a name for yourself among the hate filled partisans. I have witnessed this ********* behavior more times than I can count since trump beat the democrats.

    But it only validates what journalism has turned into, and the level it has sunk to. This looks like Jerry Springer journalism to me, as modern so called journalists have not only stopped using journalistic standards in reporting but have also lost professionalism, to the point that they become a Jerry Springer kinda of character.

    Choosing to get down into the mud and dirt with trump isn't a winning proposition, so these faux journalists are just not that smart these days. But the democrat partisans, the trump hating crowd, the sore losers demand it of these people from CNN and MSNBC. They always get defended with a few "attaboys" ha ha.

    The trouble is, quite a few talking heads want to make the news themselves instead of reporting on it. ha ha. If you watch an old questioning by journalists in the old days and compare it to what goes on today, the difference is quite shocking, and self evident. But MSM has turned into the National Enquirer, with stories on par with some woman claiming to have had sex with an ET and is now carrying its child, and mixed in with the sensationalism of a Jerry Springer show, where they feature the dregs of society and make them stars for 15 minutes of fame. All driven by hatred of a man who beat the unbeatable hillary which shocked MSM and democrats like experiencing a million volts of electricity. And rendered most of them just a bit addled.

    Frankly, I have never seen such behavior coming from what we call the press, to the point of absurdity as partisans line up to attempt to defend the indefensible. ha ha. Quite the circus. But when the news becomes entertainment, as well as propaganda what else can one expect from the talking heads in MSM?

    I hope Acosta never gets his pass back to the WH. He does not deserve it, and america does not deserve or need this kind of sensation based Jerry Springer show. A press should act like a press, with all of the professionalism and standards that we should all demand from it. Americans need to be factually informed, instead of being subjected to this crap and an insult to the field of journalism. Younger generations have no clue as to what real journalism is supposed to look like and sound like. And it is destructive of younger minds and appalling.

    What Judicial/Executive Deployments are you referring to? Also, what is wrong with firing people for not doing a good enough job?

    Yes, but @Bush Lawyer and others who were pushing this conspiracy theory, don't have a technical bone in their body! Still no excuse, as they should've been able to see as CLEAR AS DAY, that the footage was indistinguishable from the original!

    If the Constitution stands in his way on something, what the hell do you think that he could "get away with" in doing it his own way regardless of the Constitution standing in his way? you think that the Democrats would let him get away with it?

    I'm not defending him, I'm scrutinising your argument. What have I defended him personally on?

    Well I do admire that he is different to the establishment, dogsh*t Washington politicians. I do not however admire him as a human being! Not because I think that anything he says is racist or bigoted, or any of that utter bullsh*t that people say about him, but mainly for his disgraceful attitude towards women. Also I just think he lacks intelligence. The man can barely string a proper sentence together. He lack class too, not least for the way he attacked war hero John Mcain. He is shockingly unpresidential. He is far from an ideal president, I admit.

    What is wrong with being born into a wealthy family?

    They wouldn't, but that means the US would always be in 'catch-up to Donald' mode. Just get rid of the ********. The GOP ought to simply reject him.



    Nice to know I have such a dedicated scrutineer! :)



    So...did you ever vote for him, at all?



    Not one thing. What matters is what you are and what you do with that silver spoon.

    Paul Joseph Watson from Info Wars converted it into what's called a GIF image, which are those animated pictures. It wasn't the full hour long press conference of course, it was edited down to only show where Acosta made contact with the intern. The advantage of the GIF conversion and the selective edit is that the file size becomes alot smaller, which means that it can be inserted into a tweet. Watson then posted a tweet with the GIF in it. I think that if you were honest, you would admit that creating this thread in which you said in your OP that it is "nasty and malicious stuff" was rash and perhaps a little embarrassing!

    Because she mistakenly believed that it showed clear proof that Acosta deliberately put his hands on the intern. What would she have gained by posting the full hour long press conference?

    But he's not DONE anything yet! You say that "he wants it his way, and if the Constitution stands in the way......he will do it his way" Well why hasn't he?

    You can always count on me mate!

    Vote for Trump? In what capacity?

    What has Trump done with his silver spoon that is so terrible?
