Dear Diary: I ripped into Sarah Sanders today, signed Jim Acosta

The lovely and talented Jim Acosta appeared on the Comedy News Network with hostess Brooke Baldwin on Monday just before White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders spoke with the media.

Jim Acosta, being the tough, brave so-called journalist that he aspires to be one day, just could not control himself and went after Sanders behind her back saying that she doesn't live in the "real world" like he, Jim Acosta, does.

Baldwin and Jim Acosta were talking trash about the White House's reaction to the possible temporary reopening of the partial government shutdown when Jim Acosta said without Sanders being present: "It will be interesting to see whether or not Sarah Sanders and the White House team over here have truly come back to the real world when she steps out to the podium here in about 30 minutes from now."

Jim Acosta had plenty of cruel and bitter criticism dripping from his chiseled face as he targeted President Trump and the White House during his appearance with the lovely leftist Baldwin.

The attacks began with Baldwin taking a veiled shot at Trump, never mentioning the Democrats’ refusing to budge on the issue of the wall while noting that the shutdown cost the U.S. economy $11 billion. She stated:

"I’m Brooke Baldwin. And in just about half an hour from now, the White House Press Secretary will be answering questions from the media, for the first time in more than five weeks. It comes as President Trump told The Wall Street Journal that there’s less than a 50-50 chance that new negotiations over border wall funding will succeed. If they fail, that could lead to either another Government shutdown in about 18 days’ time or to the President declaring a national emergency to get the money to build his border wall. Let’s go live to our chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta, who will, of course, be in that briefing room, momentarily. So Jim, it’s still stunning to me to see this new report from the CBO that the Government shutdown has so far cost the U.S. economy $11 billion."

Jim Acosta, never one to pull a punch at a woman, gazed into his cell phone, took a selfie and replied :

"That’s right, Brooke. And that’s a dollar figure that’s double what the President was asking for for his border wall down on the border with Mexico. Now some of that will be recouped, according to the CBO, once these federal workers start receiving their back pay, but at the end of the day, there is going to be a big hit to this economy and I suspect that Sarah Sanders will be asked about that when she has this briefing in about 30 minutes from now. That’s the latest time estimate as to when this is going to get started. And as you were just saying a few moments ago, it has been a long time since we’ve had a White House briefing over here in the briefing room. It’s been 41 days. Since December 18th. That was the last time Sarah Sanders had a briefing. That is such a long period of time that we had a Government shutdown, the longest Government shutdown in U.S. history in the middle of that time frame.

"And so there’s going to be a lot of questions asked. It will be interesting to see just how long Sarah Sanders devotes to this briefing. Some of the later briefings we saw at the end of 2018 were running on average in the ballpark of 20 or 25 minutes. And so, that may go pretty quickly when we see her come to the podium here in about half an hour from now. But obviously the Government shutdown is going to be top of mind in that briefing room. Just 18 days to go before the next deadline for a lapse in Government funding and we could be back where we started all over again. And the President, as you said, in that interview with The Wall Street Journal, that he’s only putting the odds of preventing this shutdown or another standoff with Democrats at less than 50-50. Those are not good odds. And it comes just at the very beginning of this negotiation, this negotiating process with Democrats. And so that obviously is going to come up."

Acosta then segued to the indictment of Roger Stone, saying that President Trump was “trying to downplay the relationship” with Stone, “kind of an excuse the President has used” with regard to other targets of the Mueller investigation.

Jim Acosta then smelled his fingers and added:

"Brooke, I think the other thing that’s obviously going to come up is the indictment of Roger Stone, which sort of caused a fire storm last Friday with Roger Stone giving the Nixonian salute as he left the courthouse down in Florida. The President was trying to downplay the relationship over the weekend, saying, well, he wasn’t really near me or near us during the election as it got close to election time. That is something that the President, that’s kind of an excuse the President has used, or an explanation the President has used with respect to other people who have been indicted in the Russia investigation. He sort of said the same kind of thing about Paul Manafort and others who have been targeted in the Mueller probe. And so it will be interesting to see just how Sarah Sanders frames all of this. What we’ve noticed in recent days that she’s just trying to stay away from those questions about the Russia investigation all together."

Finally, Jim Acosta predictably kissed the aging butt of House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi for how she behaved during the shutdown, bloviating, “somebody who you know, even conservative allies of the president agreed had really just sort of taught the President a lesson.”

Then Jim Acosta smiled, put his cell phone into his front pocket where he had it on vibrate, and told Baldwin, "Call me some time."


I hope that 2019 will be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
