Exactly my thought. Why isn’t he stepping in as communications director. Isn’t he the speechwriter already?

It was breathtaking to watch live! Jim was rude and made an insipid attempt to turn a poem into US immigration law! How moronic is that?

Stephen made my day today!

It would help your argument, though it is meritless anyway, if you actually knew the facts about the poetess you are trashing.

Emma's ancestors were here, in America, long BEFORE there was an United States of America; they got here in the mid 1600s! Yes, she was a Jewess; however, she was born in NYC...as was her maternal great, great grandmother, so she was hardly an "immigrant"!

She was born in 1849, wrote that poem in 1883, ego, she was 32 when she wrote it and NOT your claimed 14; starry-eyed or otherwise.

The ONLY thing you managed to get right, is the fact that the poem has nothing at all to do with our Constitution, nor our immigration policies, back then, nor now.

To a liberal, the constitution is simply words written by old white men and can be ignored or changed at will, but an inscription on a French donated statue is wisdom for all ages.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!

Dunno, he may be more valuable as senior adviser/speechwriter. I suspect many of Trump's most soaring, memorable lines have come from him.

Naturalization is a Kind. “Yearnings to be with her own natural kind” “were all thy children kind and natural”

UnKind means UnNatural,

Congress unnaturalized the country, they are bound by the Constitution to maintain a “uniform rule of naturalization”.

Amazing the amount of disrespect displayed by Acosta for the WH and its advisor Stephen Miller

The DemonRat party HACKS (journalists) are a sick, arrogant, angry lot hateful towards Trump. With the media, it's HATRED FOR TRUMP ALL THE TIME and very little ACTUAL reporting.

Acosta is an arrogant POS and as far as I'm concerned Miller didn't b*tch slap him hard enough.

Oh yeah, and Acosta HATES the prospect of TRUMP HELPING BLACK AMERICANS FIND WORK!

ACOSTA HATES BLACK PEOPLE.

Journalism is suffering from affirmative action.

Journalists are not hired and promoted based on their journalistic skills. They are hired and promoted based on their leftist ideology.

Journalism is not full of the best and the brightest but the biggest leftist ideologues.

Miller should have shut him up by pointing out immigrants now want free stuff; before 1924, they got nothing when they arrived, no obama phone, no welfare, no free education...they worked. Missed opportunity.

Jim Acosta is an arrogant little punk who had his head handed to him in that press briefing with Stephen Miller. It was a beautiful thing to watch.

I have a dog that acts like Acosta.
A shock collar worked the treat.

I watched this. It was beautiful. Stephen Miller shut up Jim Acosta and had him squirming in his seat.

“Acosta was completely OWNED by Stephen Miller today. If he weren’t Jim Acosta and if he weren’t from CNN, I’d be embarrassed for him.”
Yes, maybe. But that didn’t stop AP from running selected bits of the aurgument on radio to support their pro crimigrant stance.
They have a new sound bit to use against Trump.

Miller was great, but Acosta should be shown the door on all future press briefings. He rudely talks over when someone is trying to answer his question and is more interested in giving his speech than hearing a response. It’s rude and abusive. Kelly should come out and set the new rules for the press. First and foremost should be professional courtesy and no speeches or you’re out the door.
