At what point does CNN cut loose the misogynistic Jim Acosta? He did not treat any of the male Obama folks this way....there’s no other reason for it except he has a legitimate problem with women.
Here’s Acosta kissing Carney’s a** as he obviously spins two serious stories:

And here’s Acosta’s sad attempt to push Earnest on very serious misstatements about Syria:

The Dems response last night is a preview into the challenge the party, its presidential candidates and delusional NeverTrumpers face this year and next: After a two-year temper tantrum about all things Trump, they will have to offer legitimate alternatives to Trumpism 1/
Dem leaders and NeverTrumpers can’t continue to ride on Trump hate. At some point, they need to challenge issues like border security, trade and foreign military operations with something. Anything. They’ve been on a two-year nap as far as ideas...that time is over 2/
What will a primary challenger to Trump say to sway voters? “We’re better than this?” “Trump is a meanie?” The days of cheap talk and empty promises - at least in the GOP - are over. And good luck to the Dems outdoing each other on what the highest tax bracket should be 3/

Nearly 40 years ago, Milton Friedman warned of the “invisible political hand,” that elevated special interests over the common good.

Tucker essentially said the same thing last week - and some anti-Trump conservatives are blasting him for it: amgreatness.com/2019/01/07/car…
“The invisible political hand is not the baker and the butcher and the brewer, but rather the banker and the bureaucrat and the Bloombergs. As we’ve seen in just one highly publicized case, when the baker defies the bureaucrat—to say nothing of the Bloombergs—who suffers most?”
“Do French, DeSanctis, Shapiro or anyone else on the Right truly think that this country now functions under a free-wheeling market-based economy? Or is it, rather, a managed one? And if the answer is that it is a managed one, who are the managers and who are the subordinates?”

So what’s the likelihood that Pierre Omidyar, the backer of the newly-launched The Bulwark run by Bill Kristol, was also behind the false flag social media campaign in the AL senate race? Here’s one clue:
Here’s another: Omidyar teaming up with Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn founder busted for helping to fund the propaganda operation, right after Trump’s inauguration to fund this AI group:

Dmitri Mehlhorn, who helped run the AL Facebook scheme, is a NeverTrumper tied to Mindy Finn. Omidyar gave $250,000 to the NeverTrump PAC she ran, and is a big donor to Finn’s other anti-Trump outlets like Stand Up Republic:

Former press secretaries Fleischer, McCurry agree on @Acosta behavior: 'I wish he would stop' thehill.com/opinion/white-…
when it comes to White House press briefings, the unwritten rule has always been this: One question, perhaps one follow-up before the president or press secretary moves on to another of the dozens of reporters in the room.
The reasons: Time is finite. Some reporters in the back of the room often aren't afforded a question at all. And, most importantly, a presidential press briefing shouldn't perpetually center around one reporter.

NEW: The Trump admin. has responded to CNN's lawsuit challenging the revocation of Jim Acosta's credentials, arguing they have "broad discretion" to determine access, and that the decision to revoke Acosta's access was "viewpoint- and content-neutral" assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5113…
Trump admin: "No journalist has a First Amendment right to enter the White House" assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5113… Previously on CNN's lawsuit: buzzfeednews.com/article/tasnee… There's a court hearing scheduled for today at 3:30pm
DOJ argues there's no need for an immediate order on Jim Acosta's credentials, saying he can still report on the White House and there are many other CNN employees with hard passes "who are more than capable of covering the White House complex on CNN’s behalf"

BREAKING: CNN says it is suing President Trump and top Trump aides, alleging they have violated CNN correspondent Jim Acosta's First Amendment rights of freedom of the press and Fifth Amendment rights to due process; requests court grant immediate return of Acosta’s press pass.
White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) says it "strongly supports" CNN’s effort to have Jim Acosta’s revoked press pass returned, adding that “the president of the United States should not be in the business of arbitrarily picking the men and women who cover him.
In response to CNN lawsuit, White House says "this is just more grandstanding from CNN, and we will vigorously defend against this lawsuit," and provides a defense of its decision to revoke Jim Acosta's press pass. on.msnbc.com/2zPpTun

Mark today #Acosta Day. Donald Trump took two steps today which signal how skiddish he is about the Mueller investigation and the media grilling that awaits him on the heels of @TheDemocrats House win.
If he didn’t fear Robert Mueller, Trump wouldn’t have fired the Attorney General today, only to replace him with sycophant whose only task seems to be to keep Mueller off his back. 2/6 cnn.com/2018/11/07/pol…
Trump’s real insecurity showed earlier today when he couldn’t handle the simplest of questions from @cnn’s Jim @Acosta. Trump bristled while petulanly yelling “that’s enough” like a child upset about a gift at a birthday party. 3/6 washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…

Perspective | As the bizarre QAnon group emerges, Trump rallies go from nasty to dangerous wapo.st/2AGPREf?tid=ss…
2/"Hostility toward the media at Donald Trump’s rallies is nothing new. It infected the presidential campaign and has marred every raucous gathering of supporters since the election. But on Tuesday night in Tampa, the extreme aggression dropped the basement floor another level.
3/"This was a new low. And a scary one at that. “I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in someone getting hurt,” CNN’s much-maligned reporter Jim Acosta noted, as he posted video of the scene. It showed a sea of
