Not only do the Libs have no sense of humor. They clearly have no sense of irony.

Twitter can block anybody, but Twitter users can’t?

What’s the point of a blocking feature if users can’t apply it? I know, only the left is allowed to block right views. But my point still stands. This feature has been available forever.

Yeah, none of the laws related to public access mean anything anymore once Twitter banned President Trump.

If they didn’t file in pro per, I hope their attorney is taking them to the f’n cleaners and laughing all the way to the bank.

Fools and their money are meant to be parted.

Well, anybody can sue anyone over anything.

Doesn't mean they'll win.

So if I shut you out of my house cause your yelling at me, I am violating your first amendment rights? This may be true in the upcoming Biden world. (Understalling that only liberal speech is free)

“Twitter can block anybody, but Twitter users can’t?”

Yes, according to courts. President Trump was sued twice for blocking users from his private Twitter account. Basically, because he uses the account as a public official to announce policy decisions...yada yada yada. I suppose it applies to elected officials or something?
