ImSuperior:

It is unfortunate that President Trump’s address was carried by major news outlets. Any future address by Trump should be isolated to Fox News or the Cartoon Network where Trumpist can drool over their orange beast while the rest of us better folks go about improving this country undistracted from his insanity.

It’s must have been a great speech. Otherwise y’all wouldn’t be so jacked up about it. He’s gonna have another one on Jan. 29.

Absolutely. Let him gin up fear and paranoia to just his tiny base. Leave the vast majority of Americans out of his fever-dreams.

One thing is for certain: Acosta has the ability to infuriate White House officials, including the president.

Maybe he’s asking tough questions.

Moderator note, I’ve deleted several posts that have gone personal. I will not simply delete the next round.

In all seriousness, thank you for taking the time to explain.

He asked a beat your wife question. He’s an ass. She was right to call him on it.

GWH · 2019-01-09T20:23:42.483Z

Sometimes, deleting the posts is better than silencing half the board.

Grassroots · 2019-01-09T20:24:18.315Z

So simply asking a question about Trump gives his spokesman the right to personally attack him, question his faith, and proclaim no one likes him? This is how people should act?

SeaManatee · 2019-01-09T20:24:19.323Z

It would be that type of question had the administration not just spent a week misleading people about immigration every way they could. It was still a smartass question.

Kyshia · 2019-01-09T20:25:25.772Z

I have no clue what you’re talking about.

GWH · 2019-01-09T20:27:21.957Z

The question he asked is the equivalent of me asking you if you’re going to lie in your next post, implying your prior posts are lies. So yes. He should be called an ass and his mother called ugly names.

Kyshia · 2019-01-09T20:27:59.566Z

The president has lied so much about so many things. A good reporter is entitled to start off any series of questions by asking if Trump will actually tell the truth this time—especially in light of the fact that he lied numerous times during his speech.

Acosta was on the mark.

Kyshia · 2019-01-09T20:28:41.052Z

But Trump did lie in his last remarks.

GWH · 2019-01-09T20:28:54.999Z

He’s an ass. But you’re entitled to be wrong.

Kyshia · 2019-01-09T20:29:37.279Z

As are you. I don’t know what your choice to be wrong has to do with Acosta’s pertinent question.

Grassroots · 2019-01-09T20:31:56.420Z

Interesting, must be tough to feel that way but also spend all day moderating “personal attacks”?

When a president continually disembles on a topic, as Trump has on the border, it’s a reasonable legitimate question to ask. If the history weren’t there, Conway would have been shocked at the question, instead of reactionary and defensive as she was.

GWH · 2019-01-09T20:58:15.023Z

What? Saying I’d be an ass for calling that poster a liar? Note, I did no such thing.

Grassroots · 2019-01-09T21:00:11.172Z

The fact you demand more civility from a random Internet forum than the Prrsident’s spokeswoman is interesting, that is all.

GWH · 2019-01-09T21:05:03.952Z

FYI, tread lightly. You’re dangerously close to contempt of moderator.

If she posted here, you might have a point. But as it stands you don’t.
