What's pissing me off is not about the veracity of the videos. Okay, that pisses me off too.

What's bugging me is the other part of this latest Twitterpocalypse: He retweeted a known FASCIST three times.

Most of the (American Media) coverage I've seen and read today barely addresses him retweeting a fascist. Instead they devote 75%-80% of their attention to the FAKE NEWS!!!1OMG!!! So lazy.

Of course some lunatic fascist dipshit is going to throw up brutal, unrelated video and try to pass it off as scary Muslim violence. That's not new information. They lie all the time in order to justify their troglodytic hatred.

The president retweeted a known, living fascist three times this morning. He repeated that fascist's lies from an platform where he has 43 million followers - not to mention the cachet he stumbled upon thanks to the electoral college. He, without comment, retweeted pure hate and lies from an unquestionably bad person.

Maybe I missed something today but did anyone ask him, "Why did you retweet a known fascist?"

I've seen his Twitter bio. The phrase "RTs are not endorsements." isn't in there.

I honestly think he wants to run the country like Putin runs Russia. Look how he treats the media when they call him out, the same way Putin does though he has yet to murder anyone.
