1. The dictator emerges.

write good things about me or nothing at all.

[yonder]

44. +1.

square on the nail.

[Corgigal]

2. Secret service, seriously?

You're now being allowed to be used politically? What a blow. Your job is to protect the president , not be his bouncer.

[Harker]

41. SS

Another anti-democratic practice lifted from earlier nazis.

[elmac]

42. the SS loves them fascist presidents nt

[Corgigal]

45. They loved Obama.

I don't know if those agents stayed with him, or did they get a bunch of newbie proud boys.

[Dennis Donovan]

53. I think agents can choose to stay with their charges after leaving office...

...plus, do you think Trump would use the same agents that Obama did?

[bluestarone]

3. Is there no ending to this vile piece of shit?

How much more can we take?

[RockRaven]

4. If Secret Service agents don't feel like their job has been reduced to behaving like sh*t-heads,

they are in fact sh*t-heads themselves.

This would be unbelievably pathetic if it was anyone but Trump. B/c it IS Trump, it's sadly quite believable.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. I hope CNN doesn't send anyone to replace him

and that the other media outlets stop sending their people too. As much as he claims to hate the media it would really fry Tiny's ass if nobody showed up for his phony press conferences - because he lives for media coverage. He just doesn't want it ever to be critical.

[Grasswire2]

16. No NO NO

Wrong wrong wrong.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Why why why?

[MontanaMama]

25. The press is not free if

they allow themselves to be used and abused in this manner. The should ALL boycott this pResident and SHS. There is no other option.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. yes YES YES

Excellent.

Might be an echo around here.

[MelissaB]

6. From NYT and MSNBC reporter

Trump @PressSec confirms that White House has suspended the hard pass of a reporter because it doesn't like the way he does his job. This is something I've never seen since I started covering the White House in 1996. Other presidents did not fear tough questioning.

As a result of today’s incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice.

38. Kind of untrue.

W wouldn't call on Helen Thomas.

[mwooldri]

43. But W didn't yank Helen Thomas's credentials ... As far as I know. n/t

[LisaM]

46. No, and I didn't mean to imply that.n

But he treated her poorly.

[brewens]

7. Those guys need to all get together and boycott any press conferences by Trump or

DC Sarah. No way they should tolerate his behavior. They need to demand he keep his mouth shut and let them finish their questions, then respectfully answer. It does no good to ask him anything worthwhile anyway.

[Onward AND Upward]

10. Absolutely! I've been saying this for the last year, starve the Drama Queen of attention. Ignore him

and he will start acting out and make a serious mistake(s). Starve the Monster.

[Grasswire2]

15. No No NO

It is the obligation of the free watchdog press to question the president on behalf of the American people.

Boycotting that obligation would mean an administration like this one could end press privileges.

That's why our dutiful reporters lay down a marker for history every day that the First Amendment was honored, the people were served, and the Constitution remains.

Hands off the free press.

[AJT]

28. He doesn't answer questions.

The reporters should report on what is really happening in the White House, not the lies being fed to them. The press doesn't need access to a serial liar and his toadies. Report the truth.

[brewens]

29. You are probably right, and it will probably end up with all the good corespondents

being booted out. It's like if you have big trouble on the job, it's really better to make them fire you sometimes. I've mostly worked at places that never contested unemployment that I knew of, so that usually worked out.

Getting kicked out and having video evidence that it was over a legitimate question is probably better than being part of a boycott.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. agreed 100%

I should've read before posting -- echoed your call down-thread.

51. there's a can over there

[uponit7771]

32. +1

[libdem4life]

9. With all the publicity he's been garnering, CNN should devise a special role for him...

Something that IQ45 can't touch. He's excelled and exceeded his reporter's position...on to bigger and better things. Thanks to The Idiot, his name is well known.

[Cha]

12. YES!!

[bluestarone]

14. I like you thinking here

[MontanaMama]

26. This makes more sense

than the remaining press to act like puppies waiting for a treat as suggested on this thread. Acosta won’t be the lastto be blacklisted. SHS and Orange Shit Stain will focus on someone else...then what?

[libdem4life]

30. I agree. It's become a shameless charade of pompous grovelling, IMO.

For no real purpose...SHS has taken the role into the absurd, just as her boss has done with the presidency. Many times I've wondered why they all genuflect, more or less, at this vacous task.

It's one of those things...what if they held a press conference and no one showed up. I mean, have we every learned ANYTHING from these, other than watching shameless verbal combat?

I know it's too much to ask, but it does bear some reflection on the dinosaur relationship between the WH and the Press. Merely a charade. Time for the "enemy" to to feint and let them fall to the ground in humiliation.

[Cha]

11. Retweeted and replied..

A badge of honor, Jim Acosta.. Thank You!!

There some brainwashed trumphans giving him shit on there.

[catbyte]

33. There sure are. Their howls of outrage are so despicable given the disrespect that President Obama

received from TRUMPRAVDA, er, Fox News, on a daily basis for eight years. The press' refusal to kiss Il Douche's ass is the First Amendment at its finest.

[Cha]

35. Braindead Hypocrites.

OT.. but you know this one makes the POSS extra Furious..

13. Precisely why credentialing authority must be returned to the peer organization WHCA.

As it was originally.

The politicos of the Press Office should have no authority over the free press.

See FB page "People's Bill Of Rights For White House Transparency"

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. boycott the bastard

All news agencies should boycott the White House until Daddy's Boy Donnie learns to play nice.

(It wouldn't be fair to boycott until he learns his job, because that would require him to learn the Constitution and he's not capable).

[smirkymonkey]

18. He is such an asshole!

I have an idea. How about the MSM stop covering him altogether? Just make shit up about him while he's not there. He's going to accuse them of lying no matter what they say, so they should just say whatever they want about him.

[Tbear]

20. Fat Ass

thin skin. (Trump)
You go Jim Acosta don't back down.

[malaise]

22. Boycott or shutup

Media

[brettdale]

24. The start of no more free press

This is not just big news, this is fuckin scary what Trump has just
done in the past hour.

As for sarah sanders calling his behavior disgusting, Im at a lost.

Within a year, the only reporters there will be Sean hannity and Jesse Watters.

[912gdm]

31. absolutely agree...

I fear April Ryan is next.

[Basement Beat]

27. Unfortunately nothing will change.

His fellow colleagues would tweet support but just feel great it wasn't them. There is zero solidarity in this field. Everyone is just too busy trying to get their "gotcha" moment. Hell, just look at how April Ryan is consistently treated and reports asking questions afterward doesn't even acknowledge how she's being disrespected.

Nothing will change with them until it's too late.

[musicblind]

52. I will give props to the journalist after Acosta.

He immediately took up for Jim Acosta and defended his honor.

[Takket]

34. drumpf must be the single greatest coward in the history of the presidency

i wish Acosta's peers would do the right thing and refuse to cover drumpf anymore, but they will never give up that access.

if they wind up accusing him of some sort of assault for touching an intern, he should sue for slander.

[hibbing]

36. Such a tough guy

He struts around like he's some tough guy but can't handle questions from a real reporter.

Peace

37. It is only day 1 and the facism is out of control

[UTUSN]

39. Chillax, Jim, you will be more famous longer than SHITLER!1

[Mr. Ected]

40. The press corps should walk

Covering the President is news.

Covering THIS President is fake news.

[liberal N proud]

47. What will it take for the media to go full out and expose everything trump?

They could do the investigation and make the American people aware of what trump is and what the republicans are.

[jcmaine72]

48. What more proof is needed that the man is a Nazi?

[NBachers]

49. Okay, MSM, your move
