Or, and this is just spitballing, you could just not assume you are right and attack something that wasn't being talked about. That would help too.

Where did you ever get that? It's about whether Acosta should work in an administration. Especially in the role he has. Yes, the current Admin is the Trump one, and he has a tendency to big awful people. But that's an aside to Acosta himself.

Still defending Acosta. If your premise that he was simply pawn n game of life is true he still shouldn't be in the position he's in.

As I said:

Quote:It is about someone who was overrun by people with power and let them do whatever they want at the expense of innocent victims. Not the kind of person anyone should want working in government.

I can't make it clearer. Perhaps because you think you have to defend Trump you aren't seeing it that way?
