"SNIP..............


Trump also said about Ramos: “”I don’t know who he is. Never heard of him. Obviously a very emotional man.”

Afterwards Ramos came back in, and was able to ask a question or two, but Trump reminded Ramos that he was suing his parent company for $500 million over the cancellation of the Miss Universe show soon after Trump launched and called Mexican illegal aliens rapist and the worst scum on earth. and told Ramos he was part of the lawsuit.

The National Association of Hispanic Journalists has also condemned this turn of events, and pointed out the danger of this. We are including their statement.


The National Association of Hispanic Journalists condemns presidential candidate Donald Trump for allowing Univision journalist Jorge Ramos to be ejected from a news conference for simply asking questions.

Trump's not the government. However, it does show him as very thin-skinned.

tonight saying "some of them" are criminals. Switching it around from "some of them are good people". He's becoming more polished. He also said he wasn't against free trade.

December of 2000 I have been seeing signs of life becoming a combination of 1984 and Animal Farm and I think we're there but haven't let ourselves really believe it yet.

Not liking what the future is looking like at all.

I watched that documentary about how frump stole land from the locals in Scotland and how he did to journalists, who tried to film what was going on, precisely what he did to Jorge Ramos today, only more roughly handled. It's hard to watch but everyone on the planet should watch it and then pull the plug on his overinflated ego. And what's worse, he has a son who is every bit the buttwipe his father is.

He's mafioso, point blank.

9. I am waiting for Trump to team up with Christie for several reasons.

Christie has similar business connections although thoroughly corrupt knows the law. Operates on an enforcer level and would not hesitate to get others to break the law. Cruz so wants to be the Huckleberry but at the end of the day he is too creepy.

This is organized crime.

17. Is Ramos a member of the press? YES

was this a PRESS EVENT? Yes.

Are all PRESS EVENTS run by the government? Thankfully not. Is TRUMP RUNNING FOR A GOVERNMENT POST? Well you answer that one. I thought he was, maybe he is not and then the line would be far more clear, especially if this was at oh I don't know, TRUMP TOWER? Alas it was not... it was a PRESS CONFERENCE held by a man running for President of the local PTA after all.



By the way, thankfully more press has explained this, I no longer expect folks to see this attack on the press as really something that matters to them. I now realize that we are so close to a full fascist state with full acceptance of citizens it is damn scary. But it is what it is. I am removing myself from this discussion or any future discussions of El Duce, forgive me, Herr Trump.

Silence is consent...

Trump, as big an asshole as he is, is as able to decide who is welcome at his rally as Skinner is to decide who is welcome at DU.

but nice try. (IT WAS A PRESS EVENT, A PRESS CONFERENCE, which by tradition credentialed press get access too)

And if you think President Trump will not select though the credentialing process who gets access to the white house press room and will make sure press he does not like gets no access, I have a big fat piece of free land in the badlands to give away, I promise, will have ocean views in a billion years or so.

Keep defending a fascist. Good going... and keep attacking my character while at it. (I have no idea what I did to Codeine, but whatever it was, obviously it was extremely serious since she goes after my character often... character assassination is what you are doing).

Have a wonderful day. I have a fact filled article to write on California roads, not that this matters to you.
