[W:768]Jim Acosta

Re: Jim Acosta

Acadia is still arguing that if he (she?) doesn't share, then others have a right to take things away. I wonder if that applied to money? Like if I don't share my money, does Acadia get to show up at my house and try to take it from me?

Lol, the saltiness of Trump supporters after what was an expected loss is telling. They've gone full commie.

It wasn't Jim #accostsus mic. It belongs to the white house and it was her job to move it to whoever our president called upon. Why are you defending that flagrant display of misogyny. Are all you leftists card carrying members of the woman haters club?

Re: Jim Acosta

Trump had consent, Jim accosts did not. How hard is that to understand?

Did Trump have his wive's 'consent' to grab other women's ******s? You are the one who brought up 'respect for women.' Correct?
 
Re: Jim Acosta

They don't get it. The only times they find a reason where body sovereignty can be violated is when a person is persistent in asking a question of the president, who owes all Americans those answers.

That's absolutely insane. What's next? The president can violate the right of the press to freely ask questions if he doesn't like those questions?

That would be fine. Except JA was issuing two year old accusations with zero evidence and then assaulted an intern.
 
Re: Jim Acosta

Just want to point out Acadia's brilliant argument:

Me: I won't share X with you.
Acadia: if you won't share X, I get to touch you.
Me: whether I share or not gives you no right to physically violate my space.

Seriously, this had to be explained to a person who I will assume is old enough to pay for an internet connection. The fact that people not giving you something, doesn't mean you get to physically lay hands on them or anything they are holding.

It did not belong to him, it was borrowed. Regardless he had no right to intimidate a woman. When did you all start believing it was ok?

I know this bothers you, but WH aides don't get to touch people without consent, anymore than SCOTUS nominees do.

Remember kids...

Choose trees, not skis,
And if you want to go for a squeeze,
Make sure you have consent, please.

Did the WH aide have Acosta's consent to be touched?

Did accosts have his wife's permission to accost women?

Jim Acosta was referencing an ongoing investigation which is relevant to his network's viewers. If you don't like him asking questions about ongoing investigations, maybe you should have Trump try to fire Mueller.

I am sure there would be zero political ramifications for Trump and we will all just move on a day later.

Who cares if she had consent. She isn't the one with toxic masculinity raging through her. He is the monster, she is the victim. Stop trying to shame her, you're better that that.

You mean Lewandowski the political operative who screwed up his career by deciding to rough arm a Breitbart reporter? The guy who did not understand you don't touch the free press because this isn't Spain or Venezuela or Russia?

Sure.

He already used up his turn asking trump for his definition of "invaders". This wasn't an interview, it was a press conference. Other members of press were waiting to ask questions too. If he wants an interview there is a procedure for requesting one

It doesn't matter whether something is borrowed or dropped, or delivered at his doorstep. You, a civilian, do not have the right to touch another civilian, because they won't give you something. This is civics 101.

Lol, are you okay?

Lol, whether he could have waited his turn, or spoke out of turn is as irrelevant as whether or not the mic belonged to him. What part of: 'you don't get to touch people, so they'll give you what you want' are you confused by?

You don't get to decide who presents a threat to anyone else anymore than you get to decide whether or not you can touch someone without their consent. Acosta having a mic, a suit, a tie, a haircut, is irrelevant to whether or not you get to put your hands on him to get what you want.

How do you have trouble with a simple concept?

Oh, there is tons of deflection coming from your posts and he's not the only one who sees it.

The truth is that the president commanded someone without any authority other than than being an aide, to put their hands on a member of the press. When that member of the press wouldn't stop asking questions, he removed their ability to ask questions. Nobody in their right mind is standing by the subsequent Infowars alternaive facts sent out by Sanders.

You are though, and by the end of this discussion, you'll either end up embarrassed or looking completely deluded. Up to you.

I'd go with embarrassed, it doesn't last as long in people's memories.

Re: Jim Acosta

The majority of people on both sides in this thread are overreacting IMO. Just ask yourself this: if this EXACT same scenario happened at an Obama press conference with a Fox News correspondent, would your position be the same?

The good news is they fixed the problem by pulling his pass. He won't be allowed to emotionally scar women at the white house any longer. It's sad though that CNN and your ilk encourage him.

Re: Jim Acosta

So just what did Acosta acost her with?
He didn't accost her. She confronted him, she initiated contact, she invaded his personal space and she was trying to take something from him.

While I personally wouldn't say she accosted him either, if there was fault in that situation, it was clearly hers, not his.

The simple concept that you're being obtuse about is that a man used his physical dominance to prevent an innocent woman from doing her job.

Yeah, absolutely no blowback expected from the president removing reporters who ask too many questions.

Your political confusion is becoming obvious. I don't think you realize that this won't be going away anymore than Trump Jr. meeting Russian spies before the election.
