Trump Declares 'I Can Ban All Reporters From WH' - Snowflake Heads Explode

[my2¢]

I'll be pleasingly surprised if Acosta doesn't get his credentials back.

What many people, including Trump, don’t realize is there is a large swath of conservative voters that voted for him because he was the nominee, and not because they adore his message (or antics for that matter). We need to see if the Dems come up with a viable canidate, but if they can it could open the door for a Republican challenger to Trump. Do you hear me Dems? If you can’t produce a canidate who can win, it will be 4 more years of enduring Trump. BTW- Hellary, Sanders, Warren and Biden are not viable candidates.

Each candidate will automatically get app. 45% of the electorate, due to the issue you raise in your first sentence. Independents are always the demographic that puts a candidate over the top.

trump lied about virtually everything when addressing blue collar workers/unions. He's lost unions. He's lost the majority of women. He's lost everyone who was promised 'much better health insurance at a fraction of the cost...it will be so easy'.

trump will get the Conservatives you reference. He won't get the Bernie supporters who voted for him, nor will he be lucky enough to have millenials/non whites simply sit the next election out. See the midterms if you don't believe me.

Biden would win in a landslide, but I'd suggest a younger candidate that leans away from party politics.

Bernie wouldn’t beat Trump. Too many people don’t want an admitted commie as president. As for the non-whites sitting out the next election based on the mid terms, well that is just silly conjecture. Midterms and Presidential elections are completely different animals. 50% more people vote in presidential years compared to midterms. Black voter turnout was down in 2016 for obvious reasons (no BO).

Sorry, miss read Biden as Bernie. Biden is old and tired. Millennials are not going to get excited about Biden. You’ve tried that and it doesn’t work. You Dems need a new canidate which will excite your base, activate millennials, and encourage blacks to vote, and that isn’t Biden.

It is more of an accomplishment than to say "libs are stupid"! Everyone already knows that!

Stupid enough to win back to back elections in a landslide.....and still be seen as the most popular president in recent history -- before him, another dumb democrat held that title.

Think Trump will be seen as nationally popular after his term?

You really think being popular is what Trump cares about? Is it important for you to be liked? Many of us have higher goals in life than being liked by a bunch of ignorant angry leftist trash.

Yes, that is exactly what I think and KNOW

Trump is still mad over his crowd size still to this day....Trump has to have almost weekly rallies due to his need to feel like he is popular...

Trump rallies were bigger than any democrat's rallies during this past election.

No, they were not.....Obama's rallies in 2008 were in the range of 80,000 to 100,000

But this isn't really about crowd sizes, my reason for having ZERO respect for Trump lovers is back when Obama ran for office in 2008 -- you same crowd size lovers , attacked Obama relentlessly for having huge crowd sizes, calling him a celebrity, a rock star -- but as is typical with republicans, they try to attack his strength as a weakness while they secretly wish they had that same strength...so they went out and got a candidate that would have the big rally crowds as a way to say "look, we got a guy who is popular too"

Problem is, Trump does it almost every week because Trump is a insecure narcissistic child -- 3 years after Trump leaves office -- he will NOT have those same crowds, no matter how depraved he is willing to be to appeal to those people.

Obama: My rallies were bigger than Trump's

I see honesty has escaped you libtards yet again!

Where and when was the rally pictured above?

You don't have the testicular fortitude to answer, so don't bother!

Conservatives don't attend those type of rallies because back then, they were the only Americans working!

LOL "My Dad's bigger than your Dad."

No, just making a valid point. The poster was declaring that Trump rallies are small, when the truth is the democrats had nothing like them in either 2016 or this year. Just stating a fact.

Yes. Trump is an entertainer. It doesn't make him a good leader, though.

I'll take Trump over what you consider a good leader any day!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You don't get it, and it's by your own design. Obama gets on his knees every night and thanks the Fed Reserve for helping him out for his entire 8 years.. It was the weakest post recession economy since the depression.

I wish you folks will make your mind up

First you say Obama destroyed and ruined America -- then concede that "yea, the economy isn't destroyed, but that's because of the Feds" --- whom you also hate


Let's see how you deflect out of this one....Obama lowered the black unemployment rate by more than Trump did -- except, republicans didn't care about black unemployment rates until Trump got elected

Tell me how its a bad thing that Obama lowered the black unemployment rate by over 7% and its a good thing that Trump lowered it by over 1%?

Let the deflection begin

Biff......will you show me where I said that Obama DESTROYED OUR ECONOMY! Go ahead, show me one of my posts that states that.
This is just one of your deflections from the truth. Until then STFU!

Oh suck a dick with that "I didn't personally say he destroyed our economy"

But you will definitely agree with the millions of times you idiots claimed Obama destroyed not only the economy, but America -- you just pissed that facts aint on your side, and to that I say...and?

Oh please, the only thing I said was that with Obama's regulations regarding the economy, is that they stifled the recovery. It wasn't until Trumps EO's that deregulated those
regulations did the economy become stronger. That is undeniable.....although you will deny them. So move along Biff.

Less jobs were created in Trump's first 18 months than in Obama's last 18 months...

Republicans, President Obama last 19 months created 380,000 more jobs than President Trump first 19 months

What regulations are you talking about and why did removing them end up with Trump having less job growth? Simply saying "regulations, regulations, regulations" doesn't mean shit if you can't tell me what regulations??

From the article: "While Trump frequently crows about the number of regulations he will cut, and has even promised to reduce regulation to pre-1960s levels—a time before mandatory seat belts and air bags or protections to ensure clear air and water—he does not frequently discuss the specifics of his efforts. Doing so would reveal that deregulation is simply a code word for letting big businesses cut corners at everyone else’s expense"

Kindly tell me what regulations you are speaking of and I will look it up.

Commentary: How Trump Is Letting Businesses Steal Money From Workers

Obama's jobs were part-time jobs at McDonald's. Trumps jobs were full time jobs, with benefits, in assembly plants.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Previous case held Acosta's credentials can only be pulled for some "compelling cause" and he must have a fair and impartial (not Trump) hearing first.

Oh really? So who gets to decide?

You are making shit up as you go. So sad, and pathetic!

 

[busybee01]

Ah...another tiny trump meltdown?

CNN is suing the president because their rep had a meltdown on public TV and he's having a meltdown. too funny jack.

Trump was the one who had the meltdown. He's gone bananas since the mid-terms.

he smacked Acosta a new one. Let Acosta show the world the ass Acosta truly is. I loved the meltdown Acosta had, swatting at the young lady and using his body to hold the mic. too fking funny. what a dick.

The aide assaulted Acosta first. Trump had the meltdown.

suuure poindexter, suuuurrrrre. The year of the woman and Acosta acosted her. I love it.

She assaulted him. Why don't you try glasses.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Maybe he can ban all reporters

But can a President decide who gets to report on him?

I don't think there's any doubt that Trump may just not hold any press conferences. The question is whether he can revoke credentials of a reporter, and under what circumstances, and then hold future press conferences. Those issues have previously been decided that he needs a really good reason, and he cannot do it arbitrarily so there needs to be a process where the reporter can present his reasons why reovocation is not proper, and there must be an impartial hearing officer. That is, the credential is the reporters property and Trump just can't take it away.

I have one word to describe your post: BULLSHIT!

There! That was accurate and to the point.

 

[frigidweirdo]

In response to CNN's ridiculous law suit suing the WH for the 'right' of reporters to be rude, hijack Press Conferences, and throw a tantrum if they do not get their way, President Trump responded by declaring....


"I can ban ALL reporters from the WH, not
just CNN's rude a**hole Acosta!"


The Liberal / snowflake response was as expected:







The funny fact is the President is right - he can 'ban' every reporter from the WH. Doing so does not violate their Constitutional right of a 'free press' / to report any news they want...God knows banning Acosta has not stopped CNN from continuing to report Fake News!



'Banning' every reporter can be accomplished as easily and legally as simply declaring the President will no longer hold any Press Conferences until the media learns some respect, how to act and carry out their jobs professionally...

No Press Conference, no need for WH access....

The a Liberal Press has met its match in a President who won't take their fake news / shit laying down like every other Republican / Conservative President has. The corrupt press is being challenged, and they don't like it.

F* 'em! Bwuhahahahaha!



Trump seeks to land blow against media in court fight with CNN



"CNN argued in its lawsuit filed Tuesday that the White House infringed on Acosta's First Amendment rights by revoking his access in response to a dispute over a press conference last week."

No one is preventing CNN from reporting the news, as pointed out. CNN is pissed they don't get to run WH Press Conferences, that they can not impose their will on Trump and 'beat him into line', are not being allowed to call the President a 'racist' and 'white supremacist' during Press Conferences....

He wouldn't. He needs the publicity.

Stupid Russian. You know that even FOX News is siding with CNN on this one. Trump hasn't got a leg to stand on.

And another thing you should consider you piece of Russian shit: The fact that Trump is even TRYING to pull this bullshit after deliberately calling on Accosta to provoke an incident with him, and releasing faked video to try to discredit the reporter, is causing real Americans to stop and say "You can't do that". And it would certainly give a judge, whose job it is first and foremost to uphold the Constitution which protects reporters and news outlets from government harassment, would say, No, Mr. President, you can't do that".

Trump does not hold press conferences to actually say why he respond to an issue in a certain way. He holds them as media events, where he identifies an issue for his supporters to pay attention to. Acosta refuses to play along and actually ask questions. Rather he attacks Trump's position on an issue.

Unfortunately for Trump, he is playing a game differently than other presidents have, but he cannot change the rules so long as he pretends he's playing the same game as before. I've never understood why he tries to use "press conferences." He can have tame intereviewers like Hannity ask him the questions he wants to be asked. And then send out some sacrificial beast like Spicer or Sanders to face actual questions ... and they'll have to lie and disseminate and destroy whatever credibility they had before working for him.

I didn't vote Acosta into office and neither did anyone else.

 

[busybee01]

It’s not a forum for Acosta nor any individual reporter it is for all reporters to ask questions
Acosta does not ask questions he delivers opinions and when Trump does not endorse them or engage in debate about them then Acosta become disruptive, interruptive, aggressive and rude. That’s why he was booted and should have been

The other reporters have no problem with it. Trump did not answer the question and Acosta was right to pin him down. The White House does not belong to Trump. Trump was the one who was disruptive, aggressive and rude. As well as obnoxious and being a general asshole. He should not have been booted.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

It would be quite something if he were, indeed, to ban the press entirely. The results would be interesting to witness. It makes one wish he would.
Also interesting would be for the press, out of solidarity, to boycott the White House.

They cannot boycott the White House! Filling their pages and TV time takes something, doesn't it?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

But you will definitely agree with the millions of times you idiots claimed Obama destroyed not only the economy, but America -- you just pissed that facts aint on your side, and to that I say...and?

obammy's regulations stopped the US of A. stopped it. silenced the private sector and drove jobs into other economies. globalist!!! it's all he was. It's why I'm a nationalist!!! My patriotism is to the US of A not the globe.

What regulation stopped the USA??

I'll wait while you vomit up more incoherent non-sense

It doesn't matter. It's been proven a 1000 times that you scum don't accept facts when they prove you wrong.

and Trump has lied 8 times since you typed that bullshit comment

You lie in every post, so there you are!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

well he's following the precedent set by obama to attack the media.

if you're gonna try and sound like you're seeing the whole picture, you need to include little nuggets like that.

Obama had his issues with Fox, but he never threatened to pull its FCC license, never threatened to pull its reporters credentials, and damn sure never called them the enemy of the people. Your post was making a false equivalency.

and you're not being honest with what obama did cause you hate trump and all. first of all - you talked about setting a precedent. so EVEN IF trump is worse than obama, my main point is that obama set the precedent. now - many people who's job it is to be a journalist also agree obama was worse, so you can take it up with them if you like - i'm not gonna split farts with you on it.

Barack Obama’s press freedom legacy
“This is the most closed, control freak administration I’ve ever covered,” said Sanger in a 2013 CPJ report, “The Obama Administration and the Press.” The report’s author, former Washington Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie, Jr., declared, “The administration’s war on leaks and other efforts to control information are the most aggressive I’ve seen since the Nixon administration.” As journalists often note, the Obama administration has prosecuted more leakers under the 1917 Espionage Act than all former presidents combined.

Opinion | If Donald Trump Targets Journalists, Thank Obama
Under Mr. Obama, the Justice Department and the F.B.I. have spied on reporters by monitoring their phone records, labeled one journalist an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal case for simply doing reporting and issued subpoenas to other reporters to try to force them to reveal their sources and testify in criminal cases.

President Obama’s War on Journalists
“The Obama administration’s unprecedented pursuit of criminal liability against security leakers threatens to rope in the Fourth Estate,” wrote Stanford’s Jennifer Granick and Morgan Weiland for Forbes. (Weiland used to work for the far-left Media Matters.) “The message? Don’t report national security stories or you will become a target.”

Obama's Escalating War on Freedom of the Press | HuffPost
That court decision came seven days after the Justice Department released its “News Media Policies” report announcing “significant revisions to the Department’s policies regarding investigations that involve members of the news media.” The report offered assurances that “members of the news media will not be subject to prosecution based solely on newsgathering activities.” (Hey thanks!) But the document quickly added that the government will take such action “as a last resort” when seeking information that is “essential to a successful investigation or prosecution.”

Translation: We won’t prosecute journalists for doing their jobs unless we really want to.

Trump's war on press no match for Obama's
And, in fairness to Trump, his administration has not escalated the conflict with the press to a new level. It has not yet come close to doing what President Obama's administration did in making the act of reporting itself criminal behavior in a case that started in 2009 under the Espionage Act of 1917.
----------
and i won't even get to what he did to sharyl attkisson and other journalists individually.

so - are you willing to be "honest" here and not a biased cheerleader screaming ORANGE MAN BAD - ORANGE MAN MAKES ME SAD and shit or is that your only real goal?

For sake of argument I will concede all you say is true. Does it make any difference how Obama treated the press? Each President will push the barrier further and further until the FIRST Amendment is a shell of what the framers intended. At some point, the people have to say enough is a enough.

Obama's policy towards the press was troubling. He never crossed the threshold of calling the press was the enemy which btw is a first for a President. Even Nixon never went that far.

Once a precedent is created it is hard to walk back. Bush started with signing statements to undercut passed legislation; Obama then expanded the use of EOs; Trump is now pushing EO's even further.

I will also add the first amendment is under stress. The press is under financial stress and the "dark press" as it should be called, is undermining our faith in news and truth. We do not need a president who is pouring gasoline on an inferno.

I fiberals couldn't deflect, what would they do? What the post you are trying to deflect from is doing, is simply pointing out the non-stop hypocrisy of liberals.

Says the guy who is trying to deflect from the fact that Trump openly picked a fight with a reporter solely to get him thrown out.

And he did it to deflect from his obstruction of justice in firing the AG. Stop pretending it’s anything else

Oh, for crying out loud! What does firing the AG, who recused himself from the Russia probe, got to do with anything?

How do you know he intentionally picked a fight with Acosta? You have about as much evidence as they did against Kavanaugh, which means you have NOTHING!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

It must be a pathetic existence to think "making libs angry" is an accomplishment.

It's projection. trump is FURIOUS over the midterms, and he can hear Mueller breathing down his back. The man lives in a constant state of paranoia.

Any day now! Any day!

 

[busybee01]

Yea, you hate the first amendment, we get it

I actually love the FIrst Amendment and when I see government violating the First, I am one of the very first to stand up and condemn it

Perhaps you could actually respond to what I wrote regarding the laughable notion that the press are representatives of the people?

They are.....you know why?

Because when Nixon was running his criminal enterprise, it was the press that told you about it

When Vietnam was becoming nothing but a quagmire -- it was the press that told you about it

When people in the south were being beaten, butchered, and murdered, it was the press that told you about it

The press, journalists -- not TV pundits on FOX, MSNBC or CNN -- journalists

But if you want to be a good little cult follower, you rely on Trump to tell you all the information you need to know -- I will rely on "JOURNALISTS"

I know you think you answered, but you really didn't.

Answer one simple question.

Who elected them? In order to represent the people, they have to be elected. They don't even have the best interest of the people in mind. They are strictly 'give us cash and attention'

The press is a profit motivated entity looking to sensationalize the tiniest little thing in order to generate revenue. You go ahead an worship them, thinking that they have some kind of virtue-driven need to expose the truth, and I'll continue to treat them for exactly what they are.

Scum.

The First Amendment is broken when the government prevents the press from writing what they want to write. To date, none of that has happened.

Let me know what the constitution says about the press having to be elected?

Your panties are in a bunch because the press isn't being a lap dog to Trump in the way that Hannity is -- not my problem

The press being lap dogs is how we ended up in Iraq

My panties are not in a bunch. I don't have to be upset to correctly analyze and paint an accurate picture of what 'The Press' actually is.

Let Me know what the Consitution says about who represents the people. A bunch of greedy, fear-mongering, political activists no more qualifies as a 'representative of the people' then any other greedy, fearmongering activist from...oh I don't know, say Russia.

Strikes Me that YOU and your ilk have your panties in a bunch because you're not allowed to insult a President you hate in the White House.

I personally think that they all need to register as activists, and file at least a 501c6 status.

Advocacy, Lobbying, and Political Activities

When are you going to start. You as usual have no clue what you are talking about. CNN is a news organization so they have the protection of the 1st Amendment.

The fact is that Trump regularly insults and viciously attacks people. If he got what he deserved, it would be a punch in the mouth.

 

[busybee01]

The Press are the representatives of the People, in this regard.

Our public sector is public, not private.

Now that is funny as hell.

The Press is a corporation that does what it does for profit and money. They have no motive to be representatives of the people, and if they did, they still would not be as they are NOT elected by the people.

Yea, you hate the first amendment, we get it

I actually love the FIrst Amendment and when I see government violating the First, I am one of the very first to stand up and condemn it

The press didn't tell us about Hillary and the DNC shenanigans



Russia had to do it



.

The DNC did nothing that the RNC hasn't done. The fact is both of them have helped candidates they favor. Worth noting the DNC favored Clinton over Obama in 2008 and Obama still won. The fact is that Sanders was a weak candidate.

TRUMP called on Accosta for the sole purpose of provoking a confrontation. He had no intention of answering anything Accosta asked. This was simply Trump bullying CNN because he could. Trump could have called on any reporter in the room but he deliberately selected Accosta and then when Accosta asked his question he refused to answer and insulted him. This whole event in ALL ON TRUMP.

The the White House put out doctored video of the event. So don't try to tell us that Accosta brought this on himself. Trump orchestrated this event as a trial balloon for getting rid of media he doesn't like.

THAT's why FOX News is filing a brief in support of CNN

good god the bullshit can get strong as the left struggles to even believe their own bullshit anymore.

Trump supporters put out a lot of bullshit and garbage.

 

[busybee01]

You liberal idiots need to explain how removing accoster’s hard pass violates his first amendment rights. There is nothing stopping him from reporting anything he wises to report. There is no right to harass or confront anyone, there is no right to be allowed to continually disrupt or attempt to control anyone else’s right of free speech, which is exactly what pile of shit accoster did. I want you pile of shit liberal to remember your BS when reporters ask all of your scum liars a question and They run away or have their bodyguards you always used “ racist racist when anyone asked your mess I ah treasonist any hard question about anything and were so shocked at their lack of respect for the president.

You white supremacist idiots need to understand the White House belongs to the people. Not lying tramps like Obama and the wicked with of Arkansas, Sanders. The trouble is Acosta did none of this. You are the one who is a pile of shit. Trump does not deserve any ******* respect. He is a obnoxious offensive egomaniac. The next President should put Trump over their knee and give him what he deserves. A good paddling on huis rear end. The fitting punishment for a 2 year old brat.
