Everyone's favorite reporter, CNN White House Correspondent Jim Acosta, filled in for Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday. During the program, Acosta went into detail about why he thought President Donald Trump violated ethics and campaign laws during his trip to Iraq to visit American troops.
Troops lined up to meet the president and some of them had Make America Great Again hats and flags, which the president signed for them.

Jim Acosta couldn’t manage an intelligent thought with a Boy Scout troop and a flashlight.

Someone needs to play interrogate the VC in a Huey with him.

No one has enumerated the reasons why Acosta might be incorrect (there are some really good ones). Instead the thread immediately segues into insults to whoever dared criticize the Dear Leader.
That's how just about everything is dealt with on this board. That's the reason I am not posting much (and mostly to avoid trying to do so).
And by the way, the insult makes more sense if it goes "he couldn't find an intelligent thought with a Boy Scout troop and a flashlight". A pretty good insult too, congratulations.

Your delusions of adequacy aside, the comment stands just as I intended. Acosta rarely thinks for himself, based upon how often he simply follows whatever bullshit low information democrats are prevaricating .
-
The soldiers BROUGHT THEIR OWN, privately owned MAGA hats with them for Trump to sign. NO ETHICS VIOLATIONS.

(Edit) of course Acosta was incorrect, as Anthony points out too. What’s the prez going to do, refuse to sign personal gear? There aren’t too many ways to discount the ONE issue Acosta lit upon, because it really isn’t an issue.
It’s also a hoot that CNN had to scramble to change their narrative that President Trump, horror of horrors, didn’t visit the troops, when he made the surprise trip. Oopsie. Making surprise Christmas trips to see troops at Christmas is standard for presidents.
Still would love to know why you hated yourself for giving grades others earned. Really, just trying to understand the liberal brain. Apparently the liberal brain is unable to ignore unsubstantive comments here, leaps to generalizations, subsides into confirmation bias, and thence eschews posting.

Spot on!

Where do you see “some” really good reasons? If there had been any, someone here would have addressed them. I see none, as Anthony points out too.
I took it to mean that there were some really good reasons to criticize Acosta, but nobody here gave them. He was right. There are good reasons to criticize Acosta.
First and most blatantly, Trump is President. He is not Campaigning to be President, although the argument could be made that every politician is constantly campaigning.
-
It says a lot about the Media, the Left, and Democrats (all one in the same) when Making America Great Again is considered a negative, and to THEM "controversial".

Oops, I read Steingar’s post as if he’d said we failed to comment on reasons Acosta was correct about the President’s visit being campaigning. Edited it.
But yes, presidents are always campaigning. I’m sure O signed his share of autographs on various swag. He probably even said “Hope” and “Change” to soldiers somewhere.
Big Whoopie.

As a matter o fact Obama did sign pictures handed to him at a military event just Trump signed hats handed to him.
I believe what they say is true, "if Trump found a cure for cancer the media would find fault with it"

There is no floor for the disgust I have for the MSM but especially CNN and their talking parrots.
They actually fucking ridiculed Melania’s boots that she wore when visiting the troops with her husband.
I’m now convinced that there are no actual “men” in the MSM. None. Not a single testicle among them. All skinny jeans wearing, effeminate little twerps. No real man would criticize Melania like she has been ridiculed, and no real man would create controversy and breathlessness when they could take every opportunity to celebrate what Trump did by visiting our men and women in a war zone.

It’s this bad. When I encounter an obviously real man in my daily life, I actually have the impulse to want to thank him for being a real man. Haven’t done it yet, of course. But it’s interesting to note that the impulse has become noticeably there. Kind of like the impulse to thank a cop, firefighter or soldier.
Some here, like Steingar and asechrest, or others, may question how I know a man is a real man, and chastise me for “judging,” but there really is no need for such a question or judgement when appreciating that a real man is present and active in the world. He is often most noticeable by the lack of manhood observable in other males around him.

Don't be too hard on Asechrest. He's (slowly) coming around. And he often has logical arguments for his positions that I don't necessarily share.

The main goal of the democratic (communist) party is the complete subjugation of America, so that the ruling party can live in opulence, while treating those who pay the bills like the slaves they think we should be.
The secondary goal is to destroy the nuclear family for the purpose of collapsing self-sufficiency and therefore quickening the arrival their ultimate goal.
Feminizing men is a quick way to destroy families. Pussification is a real and dangerous trend in America. Look at a couple of posters here, and how offended they always to be whenever people speak plain and bluntly to them. Their manhood has been sucked away to the point where they automatically babble the feminist (lesbian) line every time they think they're supposed to.
Steingar has made a habit of attacking US PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP because he supposedly said pussy once. The same (supposed) man never bothers to be offended that Bill Clinton raped women, made thirty trips to Harvey Weinstein's pedophile island where used children as young as eight years old for sex toys.
The sheer hypocrisy of democrats (communists) like steingar has no end.

It's ok. Who knows, maybe I am also constantly judging whether the women around me are "real women" without even the courtesy of getting to know them.
Here is the before and after of December's project at my house, courtesy yours truly, the girly man.

I know I certainly do that.

Nice. A real man knows how to make his woman happy. I am sure yours is.
