(46,166 posts)He just signed an order regarding China and was asked a question by CNN. When Trump said he had a press conference and Acosta pointed out that he didn't take questions and will he take them now, Trump responded with his fake news comment pointing at Acosta.

(46,166 posts)Watching Velshi's opening statement, though, had me boiling. It appeared that he was going to praise Trump for his statement on Virginia of today. But then they wanted to cover the signing and the whole Trump thing went south.

The hope was our feds would protect us, they wont.
I do NOT have personal knowledge, that isnt what I mean, I just can tell what is about to happen.
MAJOR civil unrest will happen VERY quickly, I wonder what would have happened if the on the ground russian KGB agents hadnt flipped votes in those four states and HRC was allowed to take the WH as she did win.

(46,166 posts)But when I read how the VA governor reported that the terrorists had weapons caches around Charlottseville - well, that's a whole new level of what's in the plans. Imo, these domestic terrorists are capable of what you suspect.

(1,660 posts)I was called hysterical and insane (this was under my previous handle, GliderGuider.) While the form of the violence in the USA will obviously be different from how it manifested in Rwanda, the intention and the resulting deaths will be the same.

(90,779 posts)They can feign outrage over some of the things Trump says and does, but they keep making excuses for him because they need his signature.

(15,223 posts)More of the journalists in those "press conferences" need to stick together. When one asks a question and doesn't get a legitimate answer, the next one needs to ask the same question. And so on. And so on, etc.
Acosta has some guts, at least!
