It's not too much of a stretch to see this as Trump playing a pathetic game of tit for tat: you take the House, we'll take your investigation.

I thought Trump approved of putting hands on a woman as long as you move on her like a bitch?

I'm fairly sure we are witnessing the the beginning of the end for Trump. Will be interesting to see what his supporters do, or what he will have them do.

I've seen the footage of Acosta "putting his hands" on the intern. Absolutely pathetic to revoke his pass for that, he was clearly pointing and when she grabbed the mic his arm just brushed into hers. Apparently Sarah Sanders actually had a doctored clip which added frames to make it look slightly more violent (which still looked like nothing more than a brush of arms by accident).

I don't understand though why the press don't get together and all give Trump an incredibly hard time at every press conference. I guess that's the partisan nature of the media in the US with half backing the Reps and half backing the Dems. What a sorry state where your leader can avoid any kind of cross examination.

One of the reasons they don't give him a hard time at press conferences is that he doesn't do very many. He went about 18 months from his first disastrous one as President to his next one.

Worth a read if you follow the Mueller investigation as much as I do:

How you can release this doctored propaganda with a straight face I don’t know, let alone be hoodwinked by it.

Shout something loud enough and you’ll get people to believe it.

It’s an interesting point that CNN make though, about this potentially being a media strategy used by Trump to try and deflect attention away from losing the house.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”


I'm not even sure that applies. They don't have to command their supporters or force them to believe something. They gleefully believe - owning the libs/winning is all that matters to them.

At work just now: "Did you hear about the reporter who got into a fight with Trump? You could see the CNN guy was clearly out of order, he's been banned from the White House haha"

Deserves another use of this gif:

Another day, another mass shooting in the glorious United States of Batshit Mental:

Something seriously wrong with that country.

Reports indicating he's got dark skin (middle eastern) so it'll be terrorism and not "a lone individual with mental health problems"

You seem shocked the bad people running the bad administration did a bad thing.

I think the most shocking thing is just how easily this is to debunk and how little this administration cares about being seen openly lying.

Trump is a fascist. Hes not a 'wannabe Hitler' - he IS a fascist.
