So, does this make the oil "extra-extra-virgin"?
It's too early in the morning for this.
Also, Firefox tracking protection that I've now enabled doesn't like embedded tweets, which tells me Twitter knows what you're looking at even when you're not on their website.

Who in their right mind leaves themselves logged into Twitter/Facebook/Google/PornHub/4chan/GitHub/IPTorrents/Amazon or whatever when not actually on those sites? Leaving yourself logged into anything and then browsing to another site is like being in a conversation with someone and then starting a phone call with your divorce lawyer and hoping they don’t notice...of course they’re going to listen in.

Everyone.
Also I post multiple Twitter things here. I'm not logging into Twitter, copying a link, logging out, coming here, logging in, making the post, logging out, going back to Twitter, logging in, and trying to find my place again every time I want to embed a tweet.
Well THERE’S yer problem.
No argument there, especially since I know how much fun it is to track down that one thing you saw that one time and thought was cute but now it’s relevant and you’re not sure who said it, etc. BUT for me, at least, it’s still worth that hassle...especially since I’m hardly very active on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Some bots are ... less equal than others.
The Republicans don't need to hear it.
MSNBC is asking "is this ethical?" Fuck you. If it were the other way around, Fox Noise would be offering Sacha a top time slot.
And let's not forget MSNBC fell all over themselves to get teh Donald on their shows EVERY SINGLE DAY during the campaign. Too late for handwringing, you enabling shits.
You can laugh about it, but something like this is why one can't trust anything anybody says about US politics anymore. You are just spreading the mis-statements of your side, and they are spreading theirs.
I wish you all the best.

Ehhhh, this is a pretty famous "internet tough guy" copypasta, clearly meant to be satire. I don't think it undermines the credibility of political discourse all that much, at least not among the intended internet-culture-savvy audience.
It helps that there is no credibility of political discourse on Twitter

Yet quite a few people in the real world are willing to take the POTUS to task over anything that is posted in his name on Twitter. It matters to a degree, don't you think?
I'm sure the black propagandists would agree whole-heartedly with that. And the defenders would as well; entirely fictious as that might be, if something else was not, than something was misunderstood, that it wasn't meant to be taken that way, that it was misrepresented and the fault of the fake media. The audience was simply not the one intended, or that they were too stupid to realize that what was said was not what was intended. A thousand excuses, in other words. Sincere ones, or not entirely so.
Which ones you believe depends largely on which side of the divide you're on. Sad, IMHO.
Personally, I'm not referring to any particular instance, Twitter or otherwise. I would just wish that the nation which once claimed to be the leader of the free world would f*cking grow up already.
I would love it if you could find one example of someone seeing that picture and believing that it was a real tweet. Not to mention if anything it's only somewhat crazier than what he actually said.

You’re right about repeating a lie enough and all that though, here’s a real one:

I think we may be talking cross-purposes here. As I understand, you are referring to a single instance, a particular case which, when viewed separately, may not be something that a discerning individual would consider particularly convincing. Myself, I am attempting to propose a viewpoint in which a series of such instances may serve to create a truth of their own.
... I'll make sure to keep that in mind.
I have no idea what the shit you're talking about.
I regret if I was unable to convey my meaning in clearer terms. Perhaps we can continue some other time.

I think I'm just much more concerned with the fallout of the numerous, ridiculous, dangerous fucking things he actually says than the consequences of a fake tweet created as a joke.
