I asked you for the factual basis for your claim than any participants in the so-called "caravan" who make it to the US border are "enemies" of the United States. You gave me a definition of the word "enemy."

So he couldn't take a helicopter. Why couldn't he have ridden the 50 miles in a vehicle? His chief of staff made it to the cemetery; so did the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Why not the president? Why wasn't there an alternative plan i…

What is the factual basis for your claim that the remnant of those who make it the remaining hundreds of miles to the US border are "enemies" of the United States?

It's not clear to me how your decision to insert such an "off-topic from that clown Acosta" comment into this thread contributed to your desire to stay on topic about "that clown Acosta."

I don't see how the number of retirements in each party has anything to do with the average number of seats won by the power out of power in midterm elections. The average number lost is the average number lost. What's next? "The p…

A few factors make last week's midterm results atypical, what I would call a modest to significant wave:
1. As I noted(Quote)The Trumpster question in my last post was meant for reformed, not you, Wolfgang.
I like to think you're not the only CD poster who reads and thinks about what he or she reads.
I DID intend for you the question about th…
(Quote)Your response here, reformed, reminds me of our president's …
(Quote)(Quote)I certainly took this to be your response to reformed's question, Wolfgang - and I welcome you, of course, to your view. But the fact remains reformed didn't ask for your views about the reporter's manners or adherence to "regulations.…
(Quote)So the "sense" in which Wolfgang believes Acosta "sort of 'jerked the microphone back'" is that he didn't exhibit "proper manners" and didn't adhere to "regulations for press conferences." That's NOT the sense in which you made your c…
(Quote)With all due respect, Wolfgang, your responses evade the question by redefining it. In no sense of the phrase as used in this thread can "jerking" a microphone "forcefully" from someone be defined as not adhering to press conference "r…
(Quote)A few points:
1. If you want Wolfgang's feedback, you should ask him about your claim in full, not just in part. Your original claim was not only that Acosta "JERKED" the microphone from the intern, but that he "JERKED" it(Quote)Does this mean that you disagree with Justice Clarence Thomas in his concurring opinion in THIS CASE FROM 2017
(Quote)Please answer my question directly: How could Acosta have "JERKED" the microphone "forcefully" FROM the intern when the mic moved TOWARD her not away from her until she let it go?
(Quote)As you know from watching the video - yours or mine - the screen grab you provide is from a point in the video AT THE INSTANT the intern's hand reaches the mic. The screen grab DOES NOT show any "jerking" motion.
Now, here's a …
(Quote)Since you won't provide a link to the video you're watching, I will: HERE.
Since you won't pro…
(Quote)I am indeed "honestly" sitting here and asserting that Acosta didn't jerk the mic from the intern. Just as I am "honestly" sitting here and asking you to provide a link to the video of the incident YOU'RE watching, along with a report…
(Quote)I am heartened by today's election updates (there are lots of votes still to be counted - Arizona has only counted 83% of its ballots, for example).
- John Tester won in Montana, a state the president carried by >20 poin…
(Quote)Your claim is false. Please provide a link to the video YOU'RE watching and identify the time window in the video during which you believe Acosta jerks the mic from her hand.
(Quote)Here you change your argument from "If there was something, we would have known by now" (previous post) to "If he has something, he needs to bring it forward" (most recent post). May I take this as your acknowledgemen…
(Quote)You're right, reformed. Expressions of genuine sorrow and condolence have reduced gun violence in this country to a point that we had to wait twelve days between double-digit losses of life in single incidents. Without…
(Quote)This is your surmise; it is NOT proof of your claim. You do not KNOW - because you CAN'T POSSIBLY know - what Mueller has or doesn't have.
(Quote)We disagree as to whether government officials should use doctored media.
We disagree strongly as to whether removing from the video Acosta's VERY audible "Pardon me, ma'am" spoken to the intern distorts the scene. In my view, …
(Quote)Acosta asks tough, hard questions, but in appropriate ways. The White House's action is baseless and clearly an attempt to silence a journalist.
The White House's claim that Acosta "laid hands" on the intern is a lie. The video…
(Quote)Again, you don't know that "Mueller hasn't turned up anything against Trump." Or perhaps you do. Please prove your statement.
One bit of delicious irony: Voters of a GOP House district in New York re-elected Chris Collins, a GOP member who's under federal indictment for securities fraud and lying to the FBI. While voters in a GOP district in California re-elected Duncan…
There are several bitter disappointments for me in the results tonight - the Florida senate and governor's races; the Georgia governor's race; and a handful of other senate races, for example - and as a result, my reaction has been one of muted s…
(Quote)As I post this, the first poll closings are 90 minutes away, so I'll ask again the question to which you have yet to respond: Do you stand by your August 9 prediction that the GOP will hold on to the House in today's midterm elections?…
(Quote)I'm "trying to tell" you what our Supreme Court has ruled, and that you are free to agree or disagree with the Court's rulings.
As for the couple whose actions you report, I suppose that were we to reject every person who has i…
