Trump Blocked Me on Twitter and It’s Costing Me My Career

Most of my writing is about the Trump administration. In fact, my mandate from Pacific Standard is “Trump and the law.” On Twitter, the bulk of my recent follower growth and new relationships with others in the politico-legal sphere have come out of responding quickly when the president tweets and engaging the threads of conversation that flow from those tweets.

So when President Donald Trump blocked me in June, apparently for suggesting that Russia influenced the outcome of the 2016 election, he harmed me professionally. Even though I knew @realDonaldTrump was important to my career, it still took me at least a few days to recognize how being blocked by the president on Twitter would affect me as a public intellectual.

The Donald should have one of his construction companies give her a job as a high-beam walker. That’s beater than being a Twitter whore.

I was going to write something else about “Twitter” but that would be rude and ungentlemanly and mysoganistic (did I spell that wrong?), and telling the truth.

"...a public intellectual."-

More like a public dipshit. Liberals are just so full of themselves.

I counted 25 sentences in this self-absorbed screed. Of these, precisely 4 did not contain "I", "me", or "my". That's a pretty sorry average for even a victim of terminal narcissism.

As far as being a "public intellectual", dear Lord, the airs! Rebecca, dear, if you have to tell people you're an intellectual, you aren't.

But then she can’t cry about it

I Screwed Over My Benefactor on Twitter and Cost Myself the Easiest Job in the World.

Hey V. K.

The quote you found is pretty darn close to the advice my wife has given me several times to check my ego. It's a Japanese proverb...

[V K Lee]

Your wife’s quote is much more eloquent than speaking of underwear. :-)

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

This snowflake needs to stfu and get a real job.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

She should speak with a trusted associate who is not blocked and ask to have Trump’s tweets re-tweeted to her. Overall, a delay of mere seconds or minutes for her to get her precious material to continue the faux-jihad against Trump by the Leftists. Or as she calls it, her career.

I guess Rebecca will have to find someone else to leach off of to make a living. (What’s Al Gore doing these days?)
