      April hater, either.

    I like April, but February can get bent.   I feel we all agree on this.

    April sucks. Bars with good winter business start slowing down and bars with good summer clientele haven't hit their stride yet. But always good to hear young people using the term get bent

    And a Trump appointed Federal judge just restored the WH pass to him through granting a temporary restraining order on the WH.

    Apparently you don't. I don't know what particular jobs should be protected if the employee and question is being an a-hole at work.

    Unless you are black or gay or Muslim or homosexual that is.

  • Acosta could’ve just got a day pass, and attended anyway.

    This is just a big nothing burger.

    Doesn’t mean Trump will let the flaming azzhole ask a question.

    Acosta wants to be THE news.

  • Hopefully he gets called on extremely rarely and even then gets one word answers to his badgering.

  • Check out Jim Acosta’s abbreviated press conference.

    Take note how Jim Acosta didn’t take any questions from Jim Acosta.

    So a Federal judge who is now upholding the Constitution by granting a stay while deliberating further on the 1st amendment rights of free press in this case should be fired? Because that is what Diehard was stating and you chimed in on it.

    And firing a Federal judge because you don't like his ruling would get a guaranteed impeachment called for even by Fox who has supported Acosta and CNN in this.

    In late September 2009, Obama senior advisor David Axelrod and Roger Ailes met in secret to try to smooth out tensions between the two camps without much success. Two weeks later, White House officials referred to FNC as "not a news network". Communications director Anita Dunn claimed that "Fox News often operates as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party."[101][102] President Obama followed with "If media is operating basically as a talk radio format, then that's one thing, and if it's operating as a news outlet, then that's another,"[103] and then-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel stated that it was important "to not have the CNN's and the others in the world basically be led in following Fox."[104]

    Within days it was reported that Fox had been excluded from an interview with administration official Ken Feinberg, with bureau chiefs from the White House Pool (ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN) coming to the defense of Fox.[105] One of the major bureau chiefs stated, "If any member had been excluded it would have been the same thing, it has nothing to do with Fox or the White House or the substance of the issues."[106] Shortly after this story broke the White House admitted to a low-level mistake, but said that Fox had not made a specific request to interview Feinberg. Fox White House correspondent Major Garrett responded by stating that he had not made a specific request, but that he had a "standing request from me as senior White House correspondent on Fox to interview any newsmaker at the Treasury at any given time news is being made."[107]

    On November 8, 2009 the Los Angeles Times reported that an unnamed Democratic consultant was warned by the White House not to appear on Fox News again. According to the article, Anita Dunn claimed in an e-mail to have checked with colleagues who "deal with TV issues" and had been told that nobody had been instructed to avoid Fox. Patrick Caddell, a Fox News contributor and former pollster for President Jimmy Carter said he had spoken with other Democratic consultants who had received similar warnings from the White House.[108]

    So his first amendment rights means he can assault the intern, be rude to the president and refuse to be courteous to other reporters?

    Exactly. With the change of every Administration Federal Judges are fired by the dozens. Also too often judges political ideology gets in the way of a constitutional decision. I also realized that you are blinded by your hatred of Trump's personality but ask yourself if you think this would have been appropriate if there were a reporter whose sole purpose was to Badger a president McCain? 

    Do I think Trump overreacted? Sure. Like I said he'd have been better off just to reply monosyllabically or say asked and answered or even not call on the bastard.

    Nevertheless reporters should not be allowed to refuse to give the mic to the next reporter in line. No matter how much they hate the president.

    He did not assault the intern. The video got doctored from the original by the lying WH staff. And the reporters all try to get their followup questions answered before yielding to others, not just Acosta. And they also all shout out questions at every opportunity. Ignore him? Sure. That's the president's prerogative.

    Except this judge was already appointed by Trump. To fire him for a ruling he disagrees with is tantamount to obstruction, because that makes the President the sole person in charge of interpreting the Constitution, a task he is in no way qualified to do. That is exactly why we have separation of powers into Executive, legislative and judicial. Trump is not the f'n King or the dictator despite what many of you seem to desire. Violate that by firing one you appointed and you get deservedly impeached.  Even Foxnews gets it.

    He's trying to lead this country into a narcissistic dictatorship. It's time some of you come to that realization.

  • Acosta didn't assault the intern but he was rude enough to be disciplined. The judge that ruled Acosta be allowed back made that ruling because the White House didn't have rules in place regarding conduct of reporters. They are doing that now. Acosta won a battle but he is going to lose this war and the reason why he should lose is he is not acting like a journalist but as a biased commentator.

    It makes absolutely no difference who appointed what judge if the judge allows his political agenda to override his treatment of the law.

    And again my friend, you lose me when you fail to discuss actual policy or issues and keep falling back on name-calling like liar and narcissist and con man blah blah blah none of which make any difference to the end result.
