Heather Cox Richardson notes that It MSNBC’s Dasha Burns has asked Trump directly: “Should your campaign have put out those videos and photos?”

@wdlindsy I gave up on "main stream news" long ago. I get my news from DW, BBC, and France24. Slanted? Yes, but easy to spot and ignore.
Local news from many local news outlets. I never pay much attention to any single group of outlets. When a seemingly OTW or extreme story breaks I ignore it until confirmed by a few other independent sources.
I ignore many partisan stories (left, right, up, down, forwards, backwards, etc.)
News must be confirmed by independent souces.

since the media has chosen fascism, they're not going to risk finding out that a big old fat man or his armed Secret Service goons pushed around a woman soldier physically
in other words, i think the reason for not diving deeper is obvious-- if a "staffer" had committed the assault, that person would have a name & the blame

@wdlindsy "Maybe it's time for us to accept this is the norm." Hell, no.

@wdlindsy He’s a buffoon. Taking whatever he wants without apology as usual.
Brace for more.
This will only get worse until we’re rid of him. -

@wdlindsy It's HIS norm. No way in hell do we let it become normal for everyone.

@AmbularD We definitely need to do all we can, each of us, not to let this be normalized.

@mastodonmigration Well-described — and a typical go-to move when he's asked questions he refuses to answer. It's so contemptuous.

@VulcanTourist "When you can assume that your audience holds the same beliefs you do, you can relax and use more normal means of talking to it; when you have to assume that it does not, then you have to make your vision apparent by shock -- to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost-blind you draw large and startling figures."

@CStamp I think perhaps he means "accept" not in the sense that we are willing to reconcile ourselves to it, but in the sense that we accept that this is who Trump is and he's not going to change.
