He’s since deleted the tweet. He’s not being truthful about not hearing white power, which is repeated at least 3 times. Hard to believe, I know. The part about Joe being shot was pretty egregious. ---

Not necessarily a good example. On mouseover, I see the link goes to [Little kittens meowing and talking - Cute cat video - YouTube](https://youtu.be/4IP_E7efGWE) I don’t know if you are rick-rolling me or just showing me puppy videos, but I know it goes to YT. True, not everyone knows where to look for this, or if their browser is configured not to show it (for some reason), how to change it, but the information that it’s a YT video that I can choose to ignore if I wish is apparent. ---

Trump’s logic in defending the army base names is a marvel to behold: to placate Southern racists in the early 20th century, the Army named some bases after traitors of the previous century. But: those bases were used to train a few million soldiers, some of whom fought in WWI and WWII. That fact somehow sanctifies that ground and makes the names part of our glorious heritage.

Corrupt Joe Biden wants to make them MUCH WORSE. Not fair to homeowners, I may END!”_ This is a regulation put in place in 1968 to ensure fair housing practices for black Americans.

Trump won’t veto the bill for a very simple reason. If what I have heard is true there is something in the bill the removes the requirement for political campaigns to reveal foreign involvement. So Trump signs the bill then asks Russia and China and whoever else for help. ---
