Yes. Thank you for proving my point.

The president didn't accept the question, and the rest of the press criticized the reporter, not the president.

Did Obama call the Daily Caller "fake?"

JFC. That's just not close to what happened.

He calls on Roberts before you hear a single peep out of Acosta, and the person passing the mic around gives it to Roberts.

ACOSTA: "Mr. President, since you ... since you attacked CNN, can I ask you a question?"

FUCKO: "Uhhhh, John Roberts, go ahead ... "

JFC, that's what happened. WTF are you watching?

We were united after 9/11, but then Democrats began undermining our military efforts in Iraq, and openly rooting for defeat, hoping it would help them politically.

Trump says that all the time. He's just following the Dear Leader's example.

The party of Reagan now needs a safe space from reporters tyelling questions at the president. Laughable.

Not, that it should matter. He was calling on reporters. He acknowledged Roberts, not Acosta. That Roberts had been called on before Acosta pulled his act only makes it worse.

Acosta said “Mr. President, since you attacked...” before Trump started to raise his finger to point out another reporter, so you’re wrong or lying. Has to be one of those two.

How outraged am I supposed to get, when a adversary's foreign intelligence service acts like... an adversary's foreign intelligence service?

Especially when the experts have repeatedly said that there is no evidence that a single vote was changed as a result of their efforts, let alone the outcome of the election changed.

Those who have attempted to undermine Trump's victory have done far more to achieve Moscow's goals, than anything their "hackers" did. It's exactly what Russia was attempting to do.

We should expect, and defend against these kinds of attacks, and to be clear, it was not the election that was "hacked" it was John Podesta and the DNC. That's on them.

Finally, I think Rand Paul gave a realistic answer -- even if he did consult @BTExpress' notes -- to Jake Tapper this morning:

TAPPER: Welcome back to STATE OF THE UNION. I'm Jake Tapper, live in Helsinki, Finland.

Tomorrow's Trump-Putin summit is causing anxiety among some Republicans; fears that President Trump might give too much away or not be tough enough. But Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky says President Trump is doing the right thing by meeting face to face. He sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and joins me now from his home state of Kentucky.

Senator Paul -- thanks so much for joining us, ass as always.

Just 48 hours ago the U.S. government, the Trump administration said that top Russian military intelligence officers orchestrated a massive hack to affect the U.S. election. How much do you want President Trump to try to hold Putin accountable for that?

SENATOR RAND PAUL (R), KENTUCKY: I think really we mistake our response if we think it's about accountability from the Russians. They are another country. They are going to spy on us. The do spy on us. They are going to interfere in our elections. We also do the same.

Doug Levin at Carnegie Mellon studied this over about a 50-year period in the last century and found 81 times that the U.S. interfered in other country's elections. So we all do it.

What we need to do is make sure our electoral process is protected. And I think because this has gotten partisan and it's all about partisan politics, we've forgotten that really the most important thing is the integrity of our election. And there are things we can do and things that I've advocated. Making sure it's decentralized all the way down to the precinct level. Making sure we don't store all of the data in one place even for a state and that there's a backup way that someone in the precinct can say 2,000 people signed in. This was the vote tally I sent to headquarters. There's a lot of ways we can back up our election.

Advertising and things like that. It's tricky. Can we restrict the Russians? We might be able to in some ways but I think in the bottom line we wanted the Russians to admit it. They are not going to admit it the same way we're not going to admit that we were involved in the Ukrainian elections, or in the Russian elections.

So all countries that can spy do; all countries that want to interfere in elections and have the ability to, they try.

TAPPER: It sounds as though you are saying that the United States has done the equivalent of what the Russians did in the 2016 election and it might sound to some viewers that you're offering that statement as an excuse for what the Russians did.

PAUL: No, what I would say it's not morally equivalent but I think in their mind it is. And I think it's important to know in your adversary's mind the way they perceive things.

I do think that they react to our interference in both their elections. They were very -- one of the reasons they really didn't like Hillary Clinton is they found her responsible for some of the activity by the U.S. in their elections under the Obama administration. So I'm not saying it's morally equivalent --

(CROSSTALK)

TAPPER: But certainly Senator Paul, the United States has never --

PAUL: I'm not saying it's justified -- yes, go on.

TAPPER: -- done what Russia did. The United States has never done what Russia did. Go on, I'm sorry.

PAUL: I'm not saying -- yes, I'm not saying they're equivalent or morally equivalent but I am saying that this is the way the Russians respond. So if you want to know how we have better diplomacy or better reactions, we have to know their response.[/QUOTE

You're so clueless it's amazing.

You just can't give up on "no collusion," can you? Dosen't matter what he Ruskies did, as long as my guy wins, right?

You and the rest of the Trumpistas deserve each other. Have anohter vodka.

"President Trump no longer doubts the basic intelligence assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election — he just seems incapable of taking it seriously, and tells staff that is simply what nations do, several sources close to Trump tell me."

It screws with his narrative. He backs off here, soon he'll have to back off on immigration, tariffs, relations with NATO ... good gawd he might have to be presidential.

It's crystal clear on the video that Acosta is well in the middle of asking his question before Fucko diverts to Roberts.

You can say that Acosta began asking a question before being called on, but that's all it was. Trump then dodged Acosta.

It's pretty funny when you say the TV is lying.

Much like his hero when he claims the interview with The Sun is fake news, despite the tapes ... or he was misquoted by Access Hollywood despite the video ...
