Current Events > The Jim Acosta thing is worse than I thought

(+) Yeah! (+)

Background 1: 45 calls the press the enemy of the people

Background 2: there was a shooting at a MD building of a news organization months ago

Background 3 : pipe bombs sent to CNN by a deranged man, now appropriately called the MAGA bomber.

Background 4: it is brought to 45s attention that calling the press the enemy of the people is causing deranged people to attack the press

So what 45 do today? He POINTS AT ACOSTA WITH HIS FINGER and says you are the enemy of the people. He basically put a giant target in his back. This is not ok.

It's not like Trump hasn't encouraged violence against his detractors before.

Now its clearer than ever though

He literally praised a guy for physically assaulting a reporter.

Yes and now he and mis sicophants are clutching their pearls at him not letting some Nazi woman with a ponytail take the mic off him

Remember what Trump said though. We need to stop inciting violence and hatred. Stop stoking the fires!

And you know who's doing that? The FAKE NEWS! They are the real enemy of America and only YOU can stop them. Assaulting them will get you cheered, so remember that when deciding what to do about them.

How could any of this make someone concerned?

It's only called "FAKE NEWS" by Trump because these people are questioning Trump and his agenda and exposing his incompetence and hypocricy. Can't wait for this PoS Pot"U"S to GtFO.

It's frightening to watch my country head down this path. It's more frightening to watch so many people eager to see it go down all so they can "stick it to the libs" or some other childish nonsense.

Trump radicalizes people and incites violence against those who criticize him. If anyone is the enemy of the people it's Trump

The sad thing is this won't end even if Trump was hanged for his crimes. And he should be, plenty of rulers have been executed for lesser crimes and harm done to their country than what he's done. And that is just the stuff we know for sure he's done because you know, policies enacted and official statements.

Could you list examples of these justified(in your eyes) murders of leaders for "lesser crimes"? I'm always in the mood to learn interesting historical facts.

This is why I really don't care if 45 were to be assassinated.

They would rather see their own neighborhood burn that having to share it with people with a different skin color.

The neighborhood in this analogy is the country :(

Dude, he assaulted that lady. He didnt attack her, but laws are laws and he assaulted a LADY during his temper tantrum. He was upset that the incident blew up in his face and he was embarrassed, but he committed assault on her. No two ways about it.

He punched someone?

Deep rooted need for attention.

Grabbing somebody up by the arm is assault. You guys didnt watch the video, or perhaps you just dont know the law?

Grabbing somebodys arm or snatching something is assault. End of discussion. He committed assault and youre making yourself look stupid by pretending otherwise. No discussion. It wasnt an attack, but assault is assault.

It was pure trash. But, then again, Im talking to people who think that yesterday was a victory.

She was trying to grab the mic off of him. He tries to hold it away while saying 'excuse me ma'am' and at one point their arms graze.

At no point does he forcefully grab her. That's an outright lie.

So again why do people post this bullshit when the video is out there for all to see?

But if it's a body slam, there's respect. Odd.

He pushed her away. There is no argument. It was assault. Case closed. You cannot do push somebody away, even if its lightly. Your refusal to admit facts is not worth my time.

does anyone have the pics

Why do people still respond to southcoast? Everyone knows who he is, and they still let themselves take the bait

Your story is changing. Why don't you just stop? No one takes you seriously.

He also posts equal rights, equal lefts when people link to videos of men punching women

This is the truth of what happened. The contact was incidental at best.

I love how southcoast's story changed from "he grabbed her" to "he pushed her away".

Like take the flipping L dude.

Trump hasn't committed any crimes. He's uniting the American people more than any other leader I've seen in my lifetime. It really bothers me to see a vocal fringe group criticizing him openly.

So grabbing her by the arm is wrong (it never happened though) but you can grab them by the p***** is fine?

Make up your minds. MAGAboys

He didn't even grab her lol. He was gesturing towards the president when she stuck her hands towards his face. She literally thew her arms into the gesture. Pretty fucked up that the white house is sharing a doctored video sourced from InfoWars.

Trump is such a dildo

Yeah, you can't assault someone who initiated contact with you unless you use excessive force. Acosta didn't even use force. Southcoast is really holding on to a gross lie here.

why do you people respond to southcoast? he isnt worth effort of typing out a message to
if trump told him the best way to stick it to liberals was to murder your first born child southcoast would happily do it (in this hypothetical situation a woman would actually touch southcoast which is hard to believe since that sort of thing wouldnt happen in real life)

10/10 post

The only acceptable way to deal with unethical journalists is to follow the example set by renegade Commander Shepard: a solid right hook to their face. Any more than that is completely unacceptable, and violators deserve to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law with the maximum sentence being the default.

There weren't any unethical journalists involved. Just an unethical president.
