President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Oh come on. You can always say that. Who hired them?

 

Anybody ever notice how print journalists don’t get caught up in this sort of thing? TV wants stars. Acosta seems willing to play his part in the drama.

 

The entire White House beat is about TV face time. The print people on it don't have to go to the briefings or even the press conferences because they have sources who might, well, be a little camera-shy. That is why if CNN really wants to fight with Trump, their most effective weapon would be ending all White House face time. In fact, a day of news coverage in which Trump's name wasn't mentioned once would be an even better move.

 

Or, just maybe, there are many, many really stupid voters.

 

I'm sure this won't become a thing:

 

RGB fell last night at her office at SCOTUS and broke three ribs. Folks, y'all need to be praying for her speedy recovery and long life.

 

A drunken Kavanaugh probably knocked her down.

 

Meanwhile, the Deplorables are stabbing their RBG voodoo dolls with Susan Akins-like enthusiasm.

 

Smart when they vote for stuff you like, dumb when they don’t, amirite?

 

Hey, has the caravan of invaders stopped in Mexico or something? For some reason, all the usual suspects who were focused in it last week have quit talking about it.

 

I hope she has some serious protection.

 

If a sportswriter acted the way Jim Acosta did, people on this site would flip the shit out. Trump can be awful - and he is - while Jim Acosta can simulataneously bad at his job.
