The sewers of Calcutta are squeaky clean compared to...

...social media platforms right now.

Seriously, there are some stories being pushed right now that are stomach turning repulsive. Literally.

They are false, they are libelous, they are deprived, and they are the sign of some very ill and desperate minds at work who are scared became they are losing.

I refuse to dignify the specifics of any of them because they are clearly false and injurious, not just to multiple members of Vice President Biden’s family, but members of other prominent Democratic politician families as well.

Seriously, these fuckers are seriously sick in the mind.

The problem is, it’s not random trolls or bots pushing this horrific shit. It’s actually blue checked personalities.

Granted they are extremely fringe personalities, but they are blue checks nonetheless.

And Twitter and Facebook owe a responsibility right now to strip them of that status and outright ban these pieces of human excrement from their platforms.

Full stop.
