It's a flat-out lie because if he'd "pushed [her] arm away" then it would have gone away when he "pushed" it. Instead, it stays in virtually the same place. Are we to assume that she is so strong and powerful that a larger man can't move her arm?

This was incidental contact caused by an intern going too far in trying to yank a microphone out of a reporter's hand.

Weird, you went from accusing me of lying based on nothing to claiming it was not a push because her arm stayed in "virtually the same place" (hoo boy, that is some next level bs there) and that the female INTERN went to far.

watch from 5 seconds to seven seconds, and ask your selves folks, who ya gonna believe, Babbylonian's opinion or your own lying eyes.

Jim Judo Chop Acosta? He gone.

First, you don't disagree that he pushed her arm. Smart!

Second, the president had called on another reporter and her job was to bring the next reporter the mic. That is why he should give it up and not assualt the staff.

Pride goeth before the fall...

Couple of points? You did not disagree in that post, which would have been an affirmative act.

"you don't disagree that he pushed her arm."

Objectively true. As such, I do agree that your post was totally dishonest

It’s an absolute brazen lie. Acosta did nothing of the sort, and it’s on tape. Those gutless quislings had a young staffer come up and try to grab the microphone from a member of the White House Press Corps while he was asking a question.

They are barring him for two actual reasons:
1. They are cowards who can’t stand being held to account, and
2. This contemptible, un-American and anti-American act replenishes the well of derp and butthurt from which Trump and his contemptible enablers sustain themselves.

3. It's a message to the Press Corp, call me out on my BS and I will make you unable to do your job and possibly make you unemployable, pour décourager les autres.

This is not how the press are treated in democracies.

If that reporting is accurate, then that is not acceptable behavior by either side. Maybe your President should stop treating violence against journalists so lightly? Maybe then we might see less of it on both sides.
 
A small legal setback for Trump:

From: https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/08/politics/daca-9th-circuit/index.html
A federal appeals court Thursday upheld a ruling blocking the Trump administration from ending the Obama-era program that protects young undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children from being deported.

If course the case still has to go to the supreme court, where it may be an early test to see just how the conservative-stacked court will rule.

This.

Eta: And of of course, why would we assume that the President would be held to a higher standard than whoever the hell Smash Racism DC is/are?

Would it be appropriate for them to slam Carlson to the ground? After all, that's what Gianforte did to a reporter... and he was praised by Trump. So obviously violence against reporters is somehow acceptable, isn't it?

I find it amazing... Some low-profile people in an organization that isn't even affiliated with the Democrats gets held up as some sort of representative of "the left" when they talk about violence. On the other hand, the republican president (not some anonymous yokels, but the guy who currently enjoys a majority support within his party) actually praises violent acts. Yet the right-wingers here seem to think the actions of the anti-fa people are somehow more significant.
 
Actual mob shows up outside tucker carlson's house and threatens his wife.

The responses from skeptics?

trump's fault.

So it goes.

Trump Derangement Syndrome will justify anything at this point.
 
Meet our new Acting Attorney General:
Whitaker is a perfect example of the change. A former U.S. attorney, he has spent the past few years as a far-right activist, starting an organization to hound Democrats with ethics complaints and oppose Democratic judicial nominees after an unsuccessful run for Senate in Iowa in 2014. That year, he ran to the right of the extremely conservative eventual victor Joni Ernst; in one debate, he was asked what his criteria for evaluating judicial nominees would be, and he said, “Are they people of faith? Do they have a biblical view of justice?”

Hey, we're just giving as much sympathy to the victim of this Anti-fa episode as Stubby McBonespurs and is merry band of racists gave to the victim of Gianforte.

Don't you think that's fair? Equal sympathy for victims?
