Yesterday was Jim Acosta's last day at CNN..may the door hit his ass on the way out.
Victim of the Trump curse...You all know his story. An embarrassment to journalism.

[Clownkicker]

Yeah, the curse is alive and well.

It's hitting Trump in the ass nearly every day.

Did you hear the one about Trump's reckless and unlawful freezing of all Federal financial assistance authorized by Congress in some pathetic political posturing only to have to rescind the order the next day once it became clear what the damaging effects of the idiotic 'freeze' would be to law enforcement, food for children, cancer patients, veterans housing, and the elderly?

If only Trump would actually read some of the crap he's simply signing on demand for his "Project 2025" cohorts.

It's surprising to see silly gloating over such a setback for Trump.

But it's refreshing to see him take a rational political stance for a change.

[johnforbes]

Thanks to Clowntoker for recognizing the rationality of Trump's staffers.

Acosta was a low-IQ person and a free-floating fool.

[Clownkicker]

johnny, it is not rational to hand a fool like Trump a bunch of illegal documents to sign, knowing he hasn't read them, and then forcing the clown to rescind them a day later when people realize how vile they are.

Trump is obviously (and obliviously) being used by the "Project 2025" clique among his staff who want their disastrous vision for America rammed through without Congress being consulted on any of it.

[johnforbes]

Trump had often stated he had no idea what Project 2025 was and had no involvement therewith.

It is a sign of Trump Derangement Syndrome to mention it, but then -- sad to report -- Clowntoker does have TDS, chronic and severe...

[sillydaddy]

The order was not rescinded , only clarified because the bias media in my neck of the woods was even saying Trump was abolishing Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.....
But this thread is about the bias journalist Jim Acosta... who now will be joined by Chuck Todd of "Meet the Press" another Trump hater...The Trump Curse is working...overtime

[Clownkicker]

"Trump had often stated he had no idea what Project 2025 was and had no involvement therewith."-johnfoibles

And johnforbes actually BELIEVES that blatant lie.

Apparently johnforbes believes Trump doesn't vet the people he installs in his administration. He proudly appoints people he apparently knows nothing about. That's just frightening.

There's Russ Vought (one of Project 2025’s top architects, is expected to lead the Office of Management and Budget, the agency that develops the president’s proposed budget and executes the president’s agenda)
Stephen Miller (was featured in videos produced by the Heritage Foundation promoting Project 2025)
Karoline Leavitt (She tried to distance Trump’s campaign from Project 2025 even though she’s a Project 2025 instructor as well as his campaign’s national press secretary.)
Brendan Carr (nominated to chair the Federal Communications Commission, he authored a chapter “Federal Communications Commission” for Project 2025)
Tom Homan, Border Czar (listed as an overall contributor of Project 2025.)

And there are many, many more in Trump's Administration.
It's pretty scary that Trump is appointing people he claims to know nothing about; that he's completely unaware that these people are proponents of Project 2025 and what that means.


"It is a sign of Trump Derangement Syndrome to mention it..."-Dishonestjohn

No, it's an American's DUTY to mention it. johnforbes knows this so he's using 'newspeak' to try to belittle anyone who dares to bring up deeply troubling aspects of the man and his policies.

Notice that johnforbes is also pretending he doesn't know the radical unAmerican beliefs of the Project 2025 folks because he himself is a proponent and is afraid his friends and family will learn this about him.

[johnforbes]

Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of men?

The Shadow knows.

But Clowntoker has no idea about that project or who knows what about it.

The Left gets obsessed with nonsense, much as it did in spreading the lies about "insurrection."

[Clownkicker]

Just baffling....

johnforbes proudly admits that he is totally ignorant of the contents of the Project 2025 screed. Why do johnforbes and Trump hide their support for it?

And yet Dishonestjohn is here lecturing us about what someone else knows or doesn't know, all the while being ignorant of the subject he keeps blathering on about. He actually believes that his own gross ignorance is somehow comparable to someone else's knowledge.

That is what they taught him in law school.

"Lux et veritas"? Sadly, no. More aptly "Tenebris et mendacium"

[johnforbes]

Clown's tawdry tenure in the tempestuous tearooms and decadent dens of sordid SanFran affected his judgment.

Nnot to mention the swishy salons and seedy saunas...

[Clownkicker]

Once again johnforbes uses too many words when he could have just admitted that he's "got nothin' as always."

He does love to here himself jabber mindlessly.

[johnforbes]

Clowntoker probably believes that "Lux" is only a soap sold in 1925.

Speaking of that year, it was on rainy Aprily afernoon that Clowntoker first posted on this fine forum.

Clown's first post was incoherent and leftist, much like the 23,281,241 posts which followed up through the present day.

But it is true that Yale and Harvard are no longer really great schools because they have been infected by affirmative action and socialist rhetoric.

[Clownkicker]

Yes, the Trump Curse is alive and well in America. Some examples of this curse are:

The Trump Administration is now trying to rehire nuclear staff it fired days ago over concerns that their firing could jeopardize national security. This has become problematic because Musk's minions shut down former employee access to their federal email accounts, so they can't be located to be told they aren't fired anymore. VERY efficient. What could possibly go wrong?

An example of just how efficient the 'Department of Government Efficiency' is, many employees at the Small Business Administration were notified of their terminations on a Friday, followed by an email on Monday sayintg the initial notices were a mistake, only to be followed on Tuesday with an email confirming their firings. It doesn't get more efficient than that. At least to a Trump supporter like johnforbes.

The USDA said the DOGEbags accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them because bird flu has adapted to infecting humans. Trump is clearly a steady hand in a public health crisis. johnforbes isn't worried because he always deep fries his chickens in bleach and serves it with a side of honey mustard ivermection as a safety precaution he believes every American should adapt.

All this sort of stupidity is being perpetrated by a fake 'Department' that isn't a Department at all since Congress didn't create it, as well as being run by a guy who was never elected to anything and was never confirmed to a Cabinet post and who now it is claimed by the White House isn't actually running anything. Apparently no one is in charge. But that's par for the course with the Trump Curse.

When Trump was criticized for leaving Ukraine out of the peace talks in Saudi Arabia, Trump's response was to blame Ukraine for starting the war. Seriously. You can't make this stuff up.
"Today I heard 'oh, woah, we weren't invited.' Well you've been there for three years, you should have ended it-- three years-- you should have never started it."-Donald Trump

But this doesn't bother johnforbes in the least because his handlers have already told him that Ukraine started the war and so he believes it now.

If all this isn't a Trump Curse (and it's just the tip of the iceberg) I don't know what is.

[johnforbes]

Trump was cursed by many leftists, but has proven to be a blessing.

Clowntoker was cursed upon his arrival, and every day thereafter, and those who cursed Clown have found their good judgment underscored on a daily basis.

[Clownkicker]

Yes, johnny, you couldn't refute a word I said, as always.

So you're an intellectually impotent buffoon. We got it already.

[johnforbes]

Gosh darn it!

Sorry, my temper got the better of me for a second.

[Clownkicker]

Yup, looks like you are a victim of the trump curse, johnny. He has made a fool of you.

[johnforbes]

Mr Forbes has already apologized humbly for saying "Darn"...

He should not have let his vocabulary get so out of control.

[Clownkicker]

^^^^^^ johnny's ongoing and humiliating buffoon act.

That's all the concern johnforbes has for Trump's evil claim that Ukraine started the war.

When will you start to get worried about your conscious choice to elect a would-be "king"? <---(Trump's own word for himself)

Or worried about Trump quoting Napoleon by saying "He who saves the country does not violate any law."

Trump has now said in so many words that he is above the law, and johnforbes is just fine with that. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, at least the price of gold is going up. That's good, right?

Or does it mean the value of the dollar is going down? I can never get that straight...

[johnforbes]

Ukraine wanted to enter NATO, which would have embroiled US soldiers in the swamp of Ukraine.

Plenty of politicians around the world, from Macron to Senile Joe, were foolish enough to fall for Zelensky's grifting.

But, to be fair, Zelensky is the Winston Churchill of fundraising.

[Clownkicker]

"Ukraine wanted to enter NATO, which would have embroiled US soldiers in the swamp of Ukraine."-johnstaggeringlystupid

johnforbes, just like Trump, is an apologist for Putin and his war crimes. Now johnny's also trying to convince us that Ukraine, not Putin, somehow started the war because they "wanted" to join NATO.

The odd thing is, Finland and Norway ALSO "wanted" to join NATO (and they did) but still no US troops are embroiled any "swamp" there. How can that be?

If merely "wanting" to join NATO means a country will magically start a war, then how is it that Finland (right on Russia's border) didn't start one yet? Could it be that joining NATO actually makes it LESS likely that Putin will invade? It seems so.

Maybe johnfruitcake will explain his moronic statement to us...

[johnforbes]

First of all, Cooper De Jean is not a safety.

Secondly, it is certainly not the role of Mr Forbes to attempt to understand Putin's psychology.

But the Biden Administration was very dumb not to realize that Zelensky did want to embroil Ukraine in NAO, and Putin didn't.

[Clownkicker]

Apparently johnfibs isn't going to explain his idiotic statement that a country wanting to join NATO magically excuses Putin for starting a war of aggression against all international law, despite the cases of Finland and Norway joining which did not start a war by doing so.

But then everyone knew he wouldn't even try to defend that moronic position. Whenever he's caught saying something that stupid, he simply humiliates himself by bringing out his shuck-and-jive routine as a distraction, as he just did here.

[johnforbes]

Recognizing that Ukraine wanting to join NATO was important to Putin, well, that was just an obvious thing.

The real question was what the real motives of the Democrat and Republican war hawks were.

Dick Cheney dodged Vietnam,but loved all later wars.

Liz does too even though she a suburban flabster like Clowntoker.

[Clownkicker]

johnny, simply repeating that you believe Putin's invasion of Ukraine was justified because they wanted to join NATO does not make your case stronger, dummy.

It doesn't explain why Putin DIDN'T invade Finland or Norway for wanting to join NATO.

Apparently wanting to join NATO is not the cause for Putin to start wars that Trump and his lapdogs (e.g. johnforbes) can blame on the victims.

Q.E.D.

[Clownkicker]

Yes, the Trump Curse is alive and well and causing Musk staffers to quit their DOGE jobs.

"Twenty-one workers resigned from his so-called Department of Government Efficiency in protest on Tuesday, saying in a letter that they refused to cooperate with the downsizing effort.
"We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans' sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services," the employees wrote in a resignation posted online.

"The staffers said the firings have undercut efforts to improve tax filing, veterans' benefits and other critical services."-Reuters

How bad is the stuff Musk is doing when his own team is quitting over the DOGE stupidity?

As for the "second chance" Musk (who the White House has said isn't running things) has given federal employees to respond to the illegal emails DOGE has sent to workers:

"Subject to the discretion of the president, they will be given another chance. Failure to respond a second time will result in termination," [Musk] wrote on X late on Monday."
The White House did not respond to a request for comment on Musk's remarks. Prior to the new OPM guidance, Trump told reporters on Monday that workers who did not respond would be "sort of semi-fired"-Reuters

johnforbes is impressed by Trump's manly and decisive handling of this situation. After all, what successful businessman doesn't use terminology like "sort of semi-fired"? Imagine Trump's reality show where the punch line isn't "You're fired!" but instead "You're sort of semi-fired!" <-----(what a pussy)

So, does that mean "We'll see you tomorrow, but no coffee for you in the break room" ?
Truly decisive thinking from our incompetent Chief Executive.

[sillydaddy]

DOGE staffers were evidently plants from the Left.....why post a collective resignation letter online? Why didn't they just quietly leave?

[johnforbes]

Yep, clearly some leftist stunt.

What the heck is a "technologist" anyhow?

Heck, Mr Forbes is able to use an electric typewriter, and has mastered the use of a remote control for a TV set, so he might qualify too?

[Clownkicker]

^^^^^^^^ Well, there are two dimwits who should consider themselves to be sort of semi-fired for gross stupidity.^^^^^^^^

They don't even get that they just accused Musk of being so incompetent and negligent that he didn't vet any of his hires he put in place to dig into Americans' most personal information.

I'm sympathetic. I can definitely see the reasons someone might believe that about Musk.

[johnforbes]

Come on, Mr Forbes has mastered the microfiche.

He is also competent using a Royal electric typewriter, so he stands on the cutting edge of modern technology.

[Clownkicker]

"What the heck is a "technologist" anyhow?"-johnfoibles

I've told you, johnny, LEARN TO USE A FRIGGIN DICTIONARY, fer cripes sake.

"technologist [it's an actual word with an actual meaning, dimwit]- a specialist in technology"- Merriam-Webster

Political discussions on this board would be far simpler than pulling teeth if you actually spoke English, dummy.

No wonder you're so easily duped by transparent con men like Trump. You haven't got the foggiest idea what they are telling you even when they are admitting to crimes. You just maintain that shit-eating grin on your face.

[johnforbes]

Clowntoker's mind appears to be as dimly lit as the Cancun airport.

When Howard Carter found King Tut's tomb, the lighting in there was better than in Clown's "mind"...

[Clownkicker]

You generously try to enlighten the incorrigible johnforbes by explaining simple words from the English language that he admits he doesn't understand, but can he be grateful for that kind service?

No, he's such an ingrate that all he can muster is yet another impotent personal attack; the hallmark of the intellectual pussy .

[johnforbes]

Clowntoker has obviously never been to Finland.

As to an explanation, the answer -- to state the obvious -- is vodka.

[Clownkicker]

Yes, the Trump Curse is alive and well.

Trump was reduced to throwing a tantrum publicly because he didn't get his way when he tried to sell out an ally.

And for some reason, Trump supporters see the childish tantrum as a sign of strength.

It was pathetic to watch Trump lose it as his orange face turned even more red.

And to make things worse, Trump's obviously ill-advised anti-free-market tariffs are tanking the global markets (including our own) while driving down Tesla share price and DJT shares.

[johnforbes]

Mr Fobes was adept at using the Royal Uniball electric typewriter.

Clowntoker's has often been described as so weak, so pallid, that he himself is, in effect, a "Uniball"...

[Clownkicker]

^^^^^^^ See? johnforbes is so embarrassed that he can't even admit that Republicans (and Republican sympathizers such as himself) are against free trade and now support indiscriminate and arbitrary tariffs.

Remember when during Trump's previous term, he negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and said it was the best trade deal ever achieved. Now he's saying Canada and Mexico are cheating us with their unfair one-sided tariffs that he negotiated and we now need to stop them.

So which is it, johnny? Was Trump's renegotiation of NAFTA the best trade deal in our history, or did Trump negotiate such a terrible deal that it allowed Canada and Mexico to cheat us as he is claiming today? And why would Trump sign such an unfair agreement? He would have to hate America to negotiate and sign such a terrible free trade agreement. Republicans now hate free trade. It's like Trump and ALL the Republicans in Congress now supporting tariffs are merely RINOs or something.

[johnforbes]

It would appear that the Clowntoker Curse is also alive and well.

More's the pity.
