Another off the rails presser is happening

That's the best practice. He doesn't want FAKE NEWS. Then stop catering to him by quoting every stupid thing he says and does. I think he deserves a week long news black out. All he uses his exposure to it is to insult them and the American public at the same time. He's supposed to be representing us, as a leader, yet all he is, is a petulant child.

Trump was clearly cornered and failed in every way to handle a hard-ball question from an unfriendly reporter. He could have brushed it off, but he chose to keep engaging, and when he saw Acosta was kicking him in the balls with the questions, he stepped away from the podium - as if to run away (like he usually does). The interaction reinforces the belief that Trump is surrounded by a bubble of sycophants and yes-men that will not tolerate any dissension at all. When the questions got tough, he tried to run away, and realized he could not, so stood there and tried to bite back. Trump is the world's biggest pussy.

Had to take some laugh breaks, but I just watched the whole thing all over again. Just blows my mind we went from Obama; an intelligent, thoughtful, mature intellect who could discuss constitutional law and work in jokes while he did it - to this, a mentally ill child with a pineapple up his ass.

His fear is palpable though, the running from questions, the threats, the irritation, the delusion. Love it, especially anytime that poxy bawbag mentions 'infrastructure.' That's always good for a laugh. I'd say the fake news Dump and Sanders are peddling now, with the actual footage having already been taped by multiple other sources, means the desperation is just as high.

I love Turtle McConnell's warning of "presidential harassment didn't work for us." Good point turtle. Politicizing consensual sex between adults is not the same thing as investigating Mr. Un indeited Co-conspirator with campaign staff in or about to go to prison. No Russians involved with Bill's love of cigars and head IIRC.

The ball is in CNN and Acosta's court, and court is the thing. As SS used a doctored video in an attempt that was intended to harm, she and whoever else was involved can be brought in front of a judge to explain why she should not be held liable. Banning a member of the press with false evidence certainly isn't going to go well for her.

A few million out of her personal pocket would be about right.

Conway says it was 'sped up', not altered. Said just like they do in sports to see if it's a touchdown, lol!

“By that do you mean sped up? Oh, well that’s not altered, that’s sped up,” she said. “They do it all the time in sports to see if there’s actually a first down or a touchdown, so I have to disagree with the, I think, overwrought description of this video being doctored as if we put somebody else’s arm in there.”
