@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.

It’s a word salad way to rationalize saying: “we did it for the clicks and it was worth it, yes” -

@peachfront Well-stated. I agree.

@apples_and_pears I, too, gave up on mainstream news a long time ago, and now get my news primarily from commentators (and a few media sources) online that I trust and respect.

Trump blames the family of the dead soldier for what his campaign chose to do.
#Trump is so low-class.

@breitensteinnews @dan7db Yes, I like Scott Dworkin's proposal and his use of the term "corporate media."
