BREAKING: Veteran journalist Jim Acosta is vindicated in the worst way possible as Trump’s latest outburst proves he IS a danger to democracy and a free press!
Back in Trump’s first term, the former CNN anchor was among the first journalists to sound the alarm that Trump’s antipathy towards journalists presented a serious threat to democracy, a free press, and basic truth.
Naturally, the MAGA world lost its collective mind, accusing Acosta of grandstanding, making it all about himself, and being a rude, overdramatic showboat.
But Trump just spent years proving Acosta right on a daily basis, and it's gotten demonstrably worse during his second term, culminating in yesterday’s angry, sexist attack on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins before she’d even asked her a question.
Acosta posted the receipts last night, resurfacing the infamous 2018 press conference clip where Trump personally berated him and insulted him personally on live television:
“CNN should be ashamed of itself, having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN… You are the enemy of the people.”
Acosta’s question that day was about the Russia investigation, one that Trump clearly didn’t want to entertain. He told him to sit down, and launched into his first major “enemy of the people” rant against the press.
“When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating,” Acosta wrote today. “How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!”
Like a modern day Cassandra, he was right then, and he’s even more right now, and he should be heard.
Trump never stopped attacking the free press, and has only intensified his derision for journalism, and disrespect for the truth, and accountability.
The pattern of screaming “fake news” whenever he hears something he doesn’t like and launching ad hominem attacks on reporters as professionals and human beings has been part of the playbook since day one, and will continue to be so if we let it.
History has proven Jim Acosta correct. If the United States no longer has a free press, it’s not the same country. That must not happen.

@GuntherEagleman For any typical monument in the capital's core, the NCPC derives power from the Commemorative Works Act,which dictates that Congress must explicitly authorize new memorials. The administration's rapid advancement of the arch relies heavily on executive authority which is worrying
@GuntherEagleman Also Under the Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital, the NCPC has a mandate to protect Washington’s historic "civil art” sequences & the arch would illegally disrupt the monumental, historic sightline between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.

@GuntherEagleman The NCPC is the primary federal watchdog for the Height of Buildings Act of 1910, which caps building heights in Washington, D.C., at 130 to 160 feet. At 250 feet tall, the proposed arch heavily violates this limit
Does this mean that the NCPC has overridden its own guidelines?
@warDaniel47 US presence in Europe is not about defending Europe, but about projecting power.Most of the US presence is about logistics & the rest is about medical service. It’s about shipping arms & personnel to places where the US is currently waving its big stick in N Africa & Middle East
@warDaniel47 The EU including UK are already paying for their own defence. Many by buying US arms & equipment,meaning not only is the US not paying for the European NATO allies’ defence but the European NATO allies are paying the US military industrial complex & by extension the US’s defence
@warDaniel47 Elizabeth Warren wealth has gone down
2018 $12m, mainly from her husband's academic tenure, significant real estate equity in Cambridge, Mass & lucrative book royalties
2026 watchdog &financial reports estimate it to be $7 -8m reflects her shift away from high-advance book deals
@realbobv@warDaniel47 Thank you for your comedy submission. Please note that many similar manuscripts have been submitted over the last 6 yrs & editors are looking for something new & appealing for the more discerning public
We look forward to receiving your subsequent proposal for our consideration.
@RonFilipkowski@smc429 Researchers found that the deployment of ICE led to a 24% drop in "opportunistic" crimes — like property crimes &vehicle break-ins. But their presence had no effect on violent crimes, including robberies, which were already on a downward trend before Trump came back into office.
Something is happening to the US that is slow, systematic and deadly. Trump is dismantling our country, and it’s deliberate, calculated and surgical.
1: trump killed NATO partnership, our strongest defense alliance against Russia and China
2: trump’s HHS Secretary is killing our public health infrastructure, creating a more sicker and vulnerable America with communicative diseases
3: over at the pentagon trump’s frat boy Petey is firing our most qualified generals, depleting our best military hardware rapidly, in a stupid war to make our military a third world level armed forces
4: trump’s DOGE deliberately hollowed out our government from essential experts, to zap its functioning capabilities
5: trump killed USAID, and we lost our goodwill around the world and became isolated pariah
6: trump ICE became his brown shirts, killing and abusing Americans to obey
7: trump’s weirdo FBI director is charging everyone and anyone to silence Americans
8: trump DOJ is robbing the treasury to the tune of $1.8 billion dollars, to create an army of bribed foot soldiers to protect their dismantling of the country during midterm elections
9: trump’s interior secretary is dismantling our national parks
10: trump’s economic team of Bassett and lutnick is crashing the economy, creating a population of economically disadvantaged
11: trump’s Epstein files are now officially been shelved to protect trump the destroyer
12: trump let his oligarch enabler Peter Thiel to confiscate all our private data, including social security, tax, health and court and business records
13: finally and most importantly, trump and his family and his oligarch enablers are looting our treasury, and stuffing our tax dollars into their pockets.
Now tell me, you don’t think trump is a foreign agent, disguised as the president of the U.S, installed to destroy the US? Could it be that fuck Putin, the other fuck Elon, the anti Christ fuck Theil, own trump’s ass? Drag this enemy of America out of the White House. That foreign escort “Epstien hooker” Melania too.
