Any other president would impose severe penalties in response to this, with overwhelming bipartisan support. There is already bipartisan outrage, so the ball is in Trump's court. Let's see if sees this opportunity to act in the appropriate manner in a subject it would help him greatly to do that, or if he reverts to form, and let's the crown prince get away with murder because he spoke out against the Saudi government. Since the murdered man was a critic of a different rich guy/governent, maybe he will be able to do the right thing in this case.
    I saw this article today and it reminded me of the discussion about this.

      Because his lies irk me to no end. Mixing up Fox which actually does good polling with Rasmussen which does garbage polling is great. Can’t wait to see the black voter share tomorrow for republicans.

        Hannity and Piro both appear on stage at a political rally with the President. But CNN is the fake news. Imagine the outcry if Maddow or Anderson Coopper did it with Obama.

        The man does so few press conferences and these are two of the people who he regularly does “interviews “ with and today they appeared on stage and at the mic at a campaign rally.

        In fact Hannity’s opened with this... "By the way all those people in the back are fake news." At least least a few are Fox reporters covering the event. Unreal.

        Edit to add that I missed that Rush warmed up the crowd tonight too.

          I did not think Hannity was considered a non-partisan news source. He certainly does not claim to be.

          I can see why you equate him to Cooper and Maddow though. Left and right balance.

            Hannity gets one on one interviews with the president. While I understand he runs a conservative opinion editorial style show as Maddow does for the left the difference is he is on stage at a rally. How can he be impartial in an interview? He’s no better than a political operative at this point.

              It doesn't really bother me because Hannity is so clearly and brazenly partial that it's helpful rather than harmful for him to attend Trump rallies and remove any last shred of doubt that he's 100% Trump cheerleader and 0% journalist.

                  That didn't take long: Jeff Sessions resigns. Obviously the attorney general had enough of their strained relationship and probably had no choice

                      Personally, I didnt like Sessions due to his stance on marijuana and looking to fight states that have legalized its usage.
                      It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

                        Sessions did not do a good job of policing the Department of Justice. With the new Senate, getting a replacement approved will be easy. Indeed, much of the Senate's business next year will be voting on appointments.

                        That too. That's a bone the President could throw to the Democrats in the House. Infrastructure is another.

                          Not a Republican, but I've thought Sessions was miscast from the start. I actually give him credit for being the whipping boy for so long.

                          If the new AG inhibits Mueller, I will not be pleased.

                          i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

                            I don’t like Jeff Sessions but his recusal from Mueller made sure the investigation would continue. This firing by Trump is not for any reason other than Mueller. He’s trying to obstruct justice in broad daylight.

                              And now Trump is going after the Press he doesn't like. He suspended Jim Acosta, here is a link to an article...

                              The White House is suspending CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta's "hard pass" for what press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders deemed "absolutely unacceptable" conduct in a statement Wednesday night.


                              "President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his administration," Sanders said in the statement. "We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern."

                              We have the video...



                              They are making shit up now that we have video of. We are going down a dangerous road very fast today.

                                Acosta is a piece of shit. He's not reporting, he's a a liberal protester with a press pass. I know CNN is just a wing of the democrat party but the crap he pulled today was incredibly embarrassing for himself and his network.
