Interesting little tale from the midterms that didn't obviously get much airplay considering the heat of the night that was in it. Nevada voted in Denis Hof (R) to their assembly by a margin of over 60% to his Democratic rival.

He was a Brothel owner and he was dead. Laugh

One commentator joked: "Nevadians would rather have a dead Republican Pimp than a live Democrat."

America is a Great country. Most colourful and alive Nation on the planet - still. Viva USA. OK

Okay, but the huge difference is that the Trump Presidency has stated that he lost his pass for "placing his hands on a young woman", not the exchange. Have you seen the video? You think hie put his hands on her? You think that's an accurate assessment of what happened? You think, in this climate, banning a reporter using such wording isn't more than slightly disingenuous? I mean, there's an actual political ideology which endorses banning reporters under false pretenses.

CNN Exit poll..

Approval ratings...

Dem 50%
GOP 43%

Trump 45%
Pelosi 31%

Trump polls better than his Party....GOP did better in places he visited..

Democrats will have to choose wisely because with Florida in the bag seemingly...He will need less of the rust belt.

Correct - I've seen rowdier collisions waiting in line for a sandwich during lunch rush hour.

This talking up of the 'constant confllct' between MAN and WOMAN is the greatest load of horseschidt since the Serena Williams International Incident some months ago.  Incidently, it served the Democrats well...they thrive on the division of sexes 'narrative'.  A lorrah lorrah votes on that narrative.

Anyway, she tried to grab his mike.... as you do if you're bored listening to a preened up glory hunter. (no blame on her)
..and all he did was do a 'hold on a sec, I'm not finished here' gesture (with inoffensive touching) at her. (no blame on him)

It's a nothing incident that wouldn't raise an eyebrow in the grand old days of pre-political correctness.

But the hypocrisy is everywhere......  

One of the very first gender baiting 'incidents', when Trump was on the campaigning trail for President, was a female reporter trying to accuse one of his handlers of assault after he pushed her back from too close a proximity Trump.  That backfired on her when it turned out the incident was filmed and he was seen to be just doing his job - ie, if she wanted to shove the microphone up Trump's ass she'd need written permission first.

Next piece of hypocrisy is for a channel like CNN (basically a propaganda tool for the Democratic Party) to bemoan the idea of Free Press 'censorship' and 'abuse', when they know for a fact that there was and is aggressive censorship on Google, Twitter, Youtube of many Republican leaning social media accounts.

CNN is an instrument of the Party in opposition to Donald Trump.  He doesn't waste time in trying to disguise that - he just tells the truth - they hate his guts.  Nobody believes CNN is merely a 'fact' finding unbiased News dissemination outfit.  Nobody buys that crap.

I can respect the office, but it's hard at the moment I think you'll have to agree. Respect for the office of POTUS is fine, but I have a problem when a nasty pillock like Trump is hiding behind that.

That's a real quote from a guy the public are only slowly beginning to become aware of (no thanks to the mainstream media that have tried to keep his operations as silent as possible over the years)

Real quote and he has many lovely quotes.  A really nice man who thinks he'd like to help run the world - without asking for permission.

His own life story is enough.

Trump is the President of the United States of America. His chief of communications just sent out a doctored video on her official White House Twitter feed in order to lie about why they revoked a journalist's press pass.

This has nothing to do with George Soros.

civilian is a poor choice of words, I meant he has no more influence on proceedings in the White House than you or I. It is crazy how Soros is simultaneously leading a deep state cabal capable of undermining a party which until 24 hours ago had all three branches of government, but couldn't fashion a way to have Hillary win an election she won the popular vote in. He's ben built up as both an evil genius whose plan is working and a bumbling buffoon who's been foiled by our orange hero

I don't think Soros can be a 'dictionary definition' tyrant, but I'm pretty sure all billionaires abuse the law, if they think they can get away with it, which they probably can.
Equally, suggesting the USA is being run by a tyrant (if Soros is to be a tyrant, then he must be running it) would indicate democracy has failed.

Do tell...

You don't know what I'm for because I'm honest... something that people driven by ideology don't get.

You're confused that I'd support Trump (and I do, from way before he was elected) - openly.  Clear to see - not confusing so take it easy on the quizzical looks, I don't buy the confusion down that line.

But then I assume you're sidetracked  when I say that the idea of Acosta assaulting one of Trump's intern ladies is laughable rubbish.

Why should something like that bamboozle you?  I don't have to like Trump's always present big black coat to like his philosophy on the Nation State and his economic ideas or his lovely idea of running Lobbyists out of Washington - legalised blackmailers, hoodwinkers and extortionists - that's what lobbyists are.

Anyway... I tell the truth as I see it.  Acosta did nothing wrong... but his network are hypocrites.  

Nothing is black and white.  There are as many corrupt and deceitful Republicans in existence as there are Democrats...but there ARE deceitful and corrupt Democrats - that's the bit no mainstream media in Europe or America is prepared to admit and discuss.  The real debate - Hidden to propagate the idea that Republicans are Devils and Democrats are afflicted Saints just wanting to bring never ending happiness to the World.  It's bull and ethical journalists have to begin saying so.

When all Mainstream media cough from the one lung, then I get suspicious.  Blame it on my humanity.  I get suspicious.  The sad thing is that most people seem to be too apathetic to even care about that absurdity - how can all journalists think alike

I have strong suspicions that the world has changed. People are being oh so coy.

If you believe in something, say it. At least then the real debate can begin. You think democracy has had its time? You think the corporate giants of the world - Google, Amazon, Disney should just have declared Hillary President? Hollywood supported her so nobody else really needed to vote.

@SecretFly 4:30am post: Pretty good post apart from the naive assumption that Trump really wants to get rid of lobbyists - he's in cahoots with lobbyists just as much, or indeed more than anyone else - read Naomi Klein's latest book for how intertwined Trump and his cohorts are with the oil industry for starters.  And the moves to weaken the 'Obamacare' reforms on health look like the work of behind the scenes lobbyists.

On a more general point, did anyone read how much money had been spent on both the Democrat and Republican campaigns on the mid-term elections?  Scary, and I don't think such large sums of money floating around in politics influencing voters is particularly healthy.

OK, but it didn't address anything I wrote (on planet Earth).

I believe in democracy like I believe in the EU. It has it's flaws, but it's the best thing we've got.

I don't like Trump because I believe him to be racist, misogynist and a liar (the latter is true of most politicians but Trump seems to do it more brazenly). His lack of morals is more important to me than his political beliefs, because I happen to think morals are more important than politics.

Edit - the idea that Trump wants to rid Washington of corruption is naïve - he simply wants to replace the current corruption with his own, that he controls.

That's your belief.  Entitled to it.

I don't share it.  I believe he loves the limelight, he loves life, he has a powerful ego, he wants to make an impression in the history books - to an extent he already has.  But look at poor Obama.  How quickly a image disintegrated.
So I believe Trump is on a mission.  He's no angel.  He doesn't have to be.  He's stirred America and the world and he's not finished yet.  I'll wait for his full time before saying if he was a success or not.  But right now, for me, he's on the right path.  He's wealthy enough and had more than enough 'lobbyist' contacts in the Whitehouse before he was elected.  He didn't need the office to gain wealth and influence (unlike some more recent ones)

I say the hatred of him is induced by the publicity and the publicity is stage managed.  He has plenty of articulate and young blacks and women fighting in his corner.  Nobody that hates him wants to go there and listen to them.  There are many commentators female and black that say the portrayal is crap.  

He's a rough hewn man and I don't give a damn about his style of language or his demeanour.  The world might think it didn't need him but he didn't vote for himself...so part of the world is wrong.  To the other part of the world, he's timely and might have gotten here sooner.  And THIS is from a once ardent supporter of Bill Clinton.  But you do your reading and your research and ........................ isn't there a movement now Walkaway?  I walked away.

When a President lacks honesty, humility, grace etc and mocks civilians, boasts about his sexual molestations, lies and then calls other people liars when they aren't - that sets an example that seeps through into society. Society then moves towards that nature, as it is seen as acceptable.

Do you really think that is what the world needs - to move toward open intolerance, dishonesty, hostility? Because I have no doubt that Trump is leading the USA in that direction.

Do tell...

You don't know what I'm for because I'm honest... something that people driven by ideology don't get.

You're confused that I'd support Trump (and I do, from way before he was elected) - openly.  Clear to see - not confusing so take it easy on the quizzical looks, I don't buy the confusion down that line.

But then I assume you're sidetracked  when I say that the idea of Acosta assaulting one of Trump's intern ladies is laughable rubbish.

Why should something like that bamboozle you?  I don't have to like Trump's always present big black coat to like his philosophy on the Nation State and his economic ideas or his lovely idea of running Lobbyists out of Washington - legalised blackmailers, hoodwinkers and extortionists - that's what lobbyists are.

Anyway... I tell the truth as I see it.  Acosta did nothing wrong... but his network are hypocrites.  

Nothing is black and white.  There are as many corrupt and deceitful Republicans in existence as there are Democrats...but there ARE deceitful and corrupt Democrats - that's the bit no mainstream media in Europe or America is prepared to admit and discuss.  The real debate - Hidden to propagate the idea that Republicans are Devils and Democrats are afflicted Saints just wanting to bring never ending happiness to the World.  It's bull and ethical journalists have to begin saying so.

When all Mainstream media cough from the one lung, then I get suspicious.  Blame it on my humanity.  I get suspicious.  The sad thing is that most people seem to be too apathetic to even care about that absurdity - how can all journalists think alike
Ah! That's the problem. It's the eyesight... OK

See Acosta and CNN were making hay about Acosta being allowed to cover him in France where 'Hard passes' are irrelevant....

Come on Trump keep him banned for a good while...

One narcissistic moron in the White House is enough....

WW Ones and Twos and even Threes on the agenda in recent months...and all some mainstream folks want to talk about is a passing brush of rancour in the White house between the man George Clooney is gonna play in the Trump Movie and one of them meddling female interns that keep getting Presidents in trouble.

Even Acosta wasn't sure she was a genuine intern or a Russian burly spy in disguise.

Very interesting news indeed.

Well, the MSM wouldn't have been talking about that if the White House hadn't lied about it now, would it?

What exactly did Acosta do wrong? I can't see it at all? You know that asking tough questions of the President and pushing him when he doesn't give you an answer is allowed, right? Just because you don't agree with his questions or the way he asked them, doesn't mean you can revoke his press pass. Can you imagine if Obama had revoked the passes of Fox reporters when they were propagating lies about where he was born?

CNN will sue the White House over this and they will win. What Trump has done is completely unconstitutional and it reeks of someone who is too stupid and arrogant to know what to do when he's asked tough questions.

You respect the office if not the Person and behave yourself..

IF I was Trump I wouldn't have CNN there anyway after the prostitute...bed soiling episode.

But none of that justifies revoking his pass. Trump also didn't answer the question. Democratically elected leaders generally don't behave like that.

Politicians don't answer questions...

Who knew ????..........

Acosta didn't ask a question...He gave a sermon like he always does..Then he went from the Caravan of immigrants (invaders) to potential Russia indictments...He also put his hand on an intern after she went to collect his mic...

Sure it wasn't in an aggressive way but that lacked respect too....The President was giving a conference......Not Mr Acosta.

Ah, don't get started on that either. Nothing to do with climate eh, President Trump? Pity Mar-a-Lago isn't threatened by this sort of thing...

Fun fact, this is what he got his press pass revoked for. Are you honestly comfortable with the President revoking press passes from the media on bogus grounds, using a heavily edited video to back them? In any case, Random Aide tries to grab the mic from him, without his permission. If you wanna get technical, guess which is a punishable offence; Someone taking your possession, or you preventing them from doing it by brushing their forearm.

If I was Acosta, I'd make a spectacle of it all and sue... I'm not Acosta, but, https://edition.cnn.com/2018/11/13/media/cnn-sues-trump/index.html

The microphone didn't belong to Acosta, it was a shared one amongst all the reporters, so the aide didn't need 'his permission'. Acosta was preventing other reporters from asking questions to do his usual tedious grandstanding.

Look on the bright side.  Always find the bright side.

Trump has singlehandedly cured Robert De Niro of lifelong dysarthria.

After a lifetime of grunts and growls (I'm too cool to talk) interviews; boy, has he found his voice now!  
Either he's doing one of his best ever roles now (a Trump spy in the Hollywood jungle) or he looks like a man with a lot of skeletons he wants to hide.  

Thank you, Mr President, for curing Mr De Niro.  You're a magician!
