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.

“It’s just a button you can click, a way to mute an ex or tune out trolls’ attacks.”

Or even get rid of “ex” trolls, babe.

“Rebecca Buckwalter-Poza”...should’ve known it would be a woman with a dashiphenated name.

new relationships with others in the politico-legal sphere

Everything is political with these folk,
it’s just the nature of the dialectic.

For some reason I’m reminded of the bloodless succubus Lilith demanding from Frazier an explanation why he is ignoring her.

Sounds more like she was stalking and harassing.

No doubt and if you’ve ever read comments on his feed
you know they had to be pretty disgusting to get her blocked.

Funny, Hitlery Rotten Clinton said the same thing about Trump “blocking her” costing her “her career”.

“... would affect me as a public intellectual.”
Anyone referring to themselves as an intellectual is a liberal party clone.
