We have dickless mods around here who won’t ban this asshole. Please report me.
This is Acosta we are talking about. A self centered absolute clown who is staking his career as a left wing asshole on CNN or MSNBC on the fact that he makes EVERY single press conference about himself. He's undeserving to be in that room.
They should let him in every time and then throw him out the minute he makes a spectacle of himself, which he will.
overall, im glad hes getting his credentials back. i think he just needed a trip to time out and hope that he comes back with more respect. the good thing about this ordeal is that they will now create rules for everyone in the room including acosta.

The new rules press conference rules are as follows:
1. A journalist called upon to ask a question will ask a single question and then will yield the floor to other journalists;
2. At the discretion of the President or other White House official taking questions, a follow-up question or questions may be permitted; and where a follow up has been allowed and asked, the questioner will then yield the floor;
3. "Yielding the floor" includes, when applicable, physically surrendering the microphone to White House staff for use by the next questioner;
4. Failure to abide by any of rules 1-3 may result in suspension or revocation of the journalist's hard pass.

Yeah, ain't it a shame!!! But that's the way it is for those CRAZY leftist journalists I tell ya!!! You'd think they'd KNOW how to act civil, respectful, and dignified. But NOOOOO, you gotta spell out proper conduct for them IN WRITING for crying out loud!
You sure as hell don't see us needing to codify Presidential behavior!
But can it be 'enforced'? That is the question.
The Trump administration really handled this poorly. The problem is Acosta. That means the administration should have made Acosta the Press' problem. But instead, they made Acosta Trump's problem. That's where they screwed up. Then they took it one step further by flirting with the 1st Amendment in the wrong way. They quickly backed down, as the courts were going to open up a can of 1st Amendment whoop-@$$ on the administration.
It needed to be the Press' problem. The Press needs to make this decorum. It's unenforceable from the administration.
I'll stand by my original recommendation, and I think that's the way this needs to be handled. The administration cannot yank press credentials without due process and other things. Decorum won't be viewed as due process to do so either. No, the solution is for Trump to end the press conference, stating that he needs the Press to enforce decorum on itself, as he cannot because the 1st Amendment.
That's how I'd handle it. I would literally state I, the President, is powerless because of the Constitution to stop the non-sense.
It's just amazing that the red hats have nothing to fire back at except name calling....just like their leader. LOL
He’s everyone’s leader, dumb ass.
And yes, you’re a dumb ass. You have the cognitive skills of a 9-year old. Now, please give the computer back to yo momma.
Sadly, I agree with you.
But the funny thing is that during the eight years of the Obama Presidency, the vast majority of the conservative discussion board posters I interacted with were quick to tell me -- in no uncertain terms -- that Obama WASN'T THEIR LEADER. In fact, it was extremely unusual to see them even refer to him as President.
President Obama was quick to tell people that he represented the people who voted for him. If he’s going to set that standard, then how can you belittle anyone following his lead? I mean, elections have consequences, right?
Oh wow! How relevant for you to cry about this.
Gee- I wonder where they got that idea? Surely not other bedwetting liberals such as yourself?
I voted for George W. Bush--and every GOP candidate going back to Ronald Reagan. But I was so disappointed and frustrated with him and his administration that I haven't voted for a Republican candidate since.
Bush borrowed money from China for two wars that destablized the Middle East for decades and for what? Nothing, nadda, zippo. Instead of focusing on Bin Ladin, he tried to 'finish what his Daddy started' by taking on Iraq based on bogus WMD fear-mongering. For all of Bush's war-mongering, it was the Obama Administration who ultimately got Bin Ladin. Let's not forget it was the Bush administration who was asleep at the wheel while the banks were screwing the country for their benefit. I swear, I was never more ashamed of a vote than I was of mine for GWB.
But at least I wasn't stupid enough to vote for Donald Trump. I'm sure there are a lot of folks who are really ashamed of that one now.

Take Trump’s personality out of the equation and try to separate the media’s ranting from reality for two questions:
1. What administration policies do you think Republicans are ashamed of?
2. Do you think the economy would be in the same or a better place if Hilary had won?
1. None, because they are scumbags and policy that does massive damage to the weak doesn't register on the give-a-shit-o-meter to them.
2. Yes it would be in a better spot.
That's a hell of a qualifier. What makes Trump's narcissistic personality off-limits?
We've borrowed trillions of dollars to fund two Middle East wars and to bail us out of the financial crisis that our own Big Dawg financial institutions created. Yet instead of focusing on balancing our budget -- which was pushed SO HARD by the GOP during the Obama Years -- we are instead spending MORE money on:
- The Wall. 70 Billion to build and 150 million a year to maintain. Seriously, who thinks this will 'solve' illegal immigration?
- Tax Cuts. The same Republican Congressmen who were SO concerned about the budget, turned around and gleefully voted in favor of a tax cut for all their corporate and fat cat campaign donors. But what's another 2.3 trillion dollars in debt, right guys?
- Health Care. It was surreal to watch TV commercials for the same Republicans who voted to repeal ObamaCare ....publicly vowing to continue to protect insurance for people with pre-existing conditions. How stupid do they think their constituents are?
- DACA. Trump repealed DACA and told Congress to 'deal with it,' which, of course, they didn't. But that's no big deal, right? Unless, I suppose, you are a 'Dreamer.'
- Foreign Policy. Anyone who believes America has improved its standing in the World community under Trump has to be on crack.
Who knows? It sure as hell couldn't possibly be any worse.
You know what? I think the statute of limitations on the GOP using Hillary to inflame its Red Hatter base should be 2 years, don't you think? She's old news and will never, ever run for the Presidency again. But if you are dealing with Trump's daily embarrassments and you can squeeze some more partisan hot juice out of the old gal, why not I suppose?
I was going to post a lot of information to rebut your arguments, but then I realized there’s no point. You’ve most likely seen it and dismissed it already.
W. spent even more money on pork, to get those war votes, as well as allies. But in W.'s defense, the .COM bust pretty much proved the US has nowhere near enough industry and productivity to keep up with its consumerism and spending. His first recession had nothing to do with him.
His second was the housing bust, which everyone should have seen coming. Regulatory issues are always going to be issues when no one is held accountable. W. should have not spent all that pork, plus the war costs -- especially not Iraq. Right-wingers that tried to equate Iraq to 9/11 got old.
Of course, Hillary and Obama had Libya and Syria, so it was hardly W. alone. On that note ...
Although I completely agree on Iraq, I think you're giving way too much credit and too little of blame to Obama elsewhere.
Regarding Bin Laden, most of the intel was already in front of the Obama administration by the time they got in. They sat on it. Now it was also Republicans in committees in Congress too, but Obama gets way too much credit. It was a multi-administrative effort.
Regarding the banks, Obama didn't rectify many things that happened well after W. was out of office. He let the bonuses awarded after W. was well out continue. That alone made me sick.
Both Hillary and Trump were jokes. Just putting a 3rd party into the debate would have at least forced them to focus on the real issues, just as Ross Perot caused in '92.
Over-spending has only gotten worse since the Great Recession. At some point we won't be able to afford our debt. I don't see how Hillary makes things any better or worse ... sans the corporate tax rates had to come down (I could care less about personal).
So few would invest in the US with the tax rates where they were. Even pro-LGBT, very Progressive, new-age companies are in agreement on that.
When people stop solely blaming the left and right, we can start solving the real problems. Until then, it's one serious f'd up mess we're in, and it's only getting more partisan.
