I'm sure I would receive a prompt visit from an officer of some federal law enforcement agency.
But when exactly does this become an "us or them" situation of not only in self defense, but of national security? Feels awful close, and I wonder if this is not by design somehow. Who benefits?

The day it's confirmed Trump lied to them about literal murder, they attack Jim Acosta for telling them facts.

Me, I'm embarrassed to know that they are fellow citizens and appalled that somehow we grew up and into adulthood together. I guess it's true that the universe tries to balance things - so the more we move toward equality the crazier the opposition will be.

Don't cover it! It's not of national importance except to political junkies, and half of them are disgusted by it.
Bring Acosta home and don't bother reporting on it.

One guy urinated in Nancy Pelosi's office, and the folks from Maryland Sound came back to find their equipment covered in fecal matter. Conservatives are just disgusting.

why is the media even there covering this?

It seems giving this coverage has become and annual thing.... i don't recall any conferences of Democrats garnering this sort of coverage

It might be a good idea to know what they're up to?

Pretending they don't exist isn't going to make them go away.

I imagine that's more deliberate than ignorant as Jim's mother is of Irish descent and his father is Cuban. These people are so incredibly disgusting. You'd think by now that we'd be inured to it all, but each & every time I hear or see their hate spewing out so brazenly, I'm taken aback. I don't think I'll ever get used to it.
