TDS Watch: TRUMP TO IOWANS RE: SCHOOL SHOOTING: GET OVER IT!!!1

I can't believe that, after all this time, still, some small part of me still falls for these jackass reports about horrible and ridiculous things that Trump "says"... The more rational part of my mind tells me what to expect. But some little part of me still kind of expects the media to not be overtly lying...I still think it's possible that he might have said what they say he said.

   The progressive-left/MSM summary is summarized in the headline above, and it's repeated in story after story. The Rolling Stone story is a pretty good representation of the general reaction [because Rolling Stone sux so bad...]. It goes like this:

Shocking and basically false headline

Less hysterical and overtly false--yet still rather misleading--account in the body.

Becomes  a generic anti-Trump story.

[Here's the Grauniad...but it's so consistently stupid that I almost don't count it anymore.]

No, he didn't tell them to "get over it." He didn't even say "get over it"--though he did say those words. That's just a fucking lie.  Granted, it's not as much of a lie as they usually tell about the things he says. At least they got the words right this time...but, of course, they chose to quote the words so as to convey a message wildly different than the message he was clearly trying to express.

   After a long and clearly heartfelt expression of sympathy, he says, rather softly (for him) "...have to get over it." That's a way of saying, roughly (But) (we) have to get over it. WHICH IS FUCKING TRUE YOU MORONS. People say things like that all the time... Things like "we have to move on," or "but we have to go on living our living our lives." And, of course, THEY'RE RIGHT.

   I'm not saying it was an optimal thing to say. But it was perfectly fine, and the kind of thing people say all the time. 

   I'll repeat something I've said since before I became a reluctant Trump semi-supporter: if Trump is so bad, why do progressives have to repeatedly (nay, almost continuously) lie about him? Including especially the things he says? 

   Me, I think the real Trump is bad enough. Bad enough to, say, never want him to be near the Presidency. But he's not nearly as bad as the left and its pet media say he is. And he's still--plausibly, at least--less bad than the progressive left--including its media, and the Democrat party they now control--pretend that he is.
