The Right Side of the News

What "point of view?" It's nothing but character assasination, nothing but calling people racist. It's nothing but cramming his own PC redefinitions down people's throats. Trump called it an invasion, and that's because it is an invasion, they accounced it as their intention to invade instead of following the law. As for Russian collusion indictments. They're going to ahve to invent them because they have none, and this is all just character assassination too. That's all the Left does.

So you are saying that Acosta isn't allowed to have a view that differs from Trump's views? Acosta isn't allowed to ask questions of the President?

Is he a temporary acting AG or not?

Acosta is not allowed to insult and accuse the President in a White House press conference. He is there as a journalist. He can spew all the character assassination he wants elswhere, nbody is stopping him to say the least. He does not belong in the WH press conference. I hope they don't weaken and let him back.

The question is if it is legal or constitutional for Trump to name an acting AG when there is a confirmed deputy AG next in line.

So much for freedom of the press.

what part of the question was an insult? be specific.

Some people protested outside Carlson's home.

As I've said before, it's better to be called a racist than to be a racist. People who are not racist and people who don't want to be racist don't just deny, deny, deny when somebody calls them out. They ask, "What did I say that was racist?" or, "How is that racist?" On a good day, they might even say, "You're right. That was racist. I'll try to do better."

From all the commentary I've been hearing it certainly is perfectly legal and constitutional. Seems to me it would be pretty silly if he could name Sessions and then his permanent successor and not be allowed to name the interim AG as well. He didn't like the politics of the next guy in line, so he chose one he likes better, what's wrong with that?

The issue is Senate confirmation. Whitaker doesn’t have that, while Sessions did and his successor will need it, too. So it is questionable whether Trump can go outside the ordinary rules of succession to appoint an acting AG.

Right. Freedom of the press means a "journalist" can behave like a brat, refuse to yield the microphone (and he DID push the intern's arm away too) ask questions that aren't questions but accusations, and take up time from the other press people waiting their turn. Right. That's freedom of the press Leftist style, of course only by and for lefties.Trying to find a comment identified as from the Left, a journalist putting down Acosta, showing that it isn't only the Right that objects to his misbehavior, but I can't find it. It was said on a late night conservative talk program I was only half listening to, somebody Wolfson or Wolsey, of one of the liberal news outlets, condemning Acosta though refusing to acknolwedge that he did lay his hand on the intern.

Wouldn't Rosenstein have had to be confirmed too then? Why should a very short time-limited appointment, assuming basic credentials of course, which Whitaker apparently has, have to go through the confirmation process?Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Rosenstein WAS confirmed by the Senate for the Deputy AG position. Which would normally include taking over while a replacement was recruited.

He questioned Trump's use of the term "invasion" to characterize the "caravan." Trump answered that they have a difference of opinion, but Acosta kept insisting on insinuating something racist in his characterization. Later another press representative pretty much outright accused him of racism and Trump answered that that was certtainly an insulting comment. This is just Leftist Political Correctness. I wish you guys would wake up and see what's really going on. The Left today is a totalitarian monster that makes its members feel entitled to abuse their opposition, call them names, accost them in public places and yell at them and even try to break down their doors because they don't like their politics. This latter is what Antifa did to Tucker Carlson's wife a couple days ago, doing damage to the front door and vandalizing their car in the driveway. This is the new fascism, which Reagan told us would come from the Left. Acosta's brattiness is just one small expression of it. WAKE UP.
