Headline only right now. Will post more when it comes across.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Then.....

Keith Ellison should stop blocking me when I asked him if he’s gonna pay his people at least $15.00 an Hour.....

Right?

[Truth29]

And, of course, this only applies to President Trump, not anyone else on the planet. Another black robed tyrant who thinks he is in charge over all others.

[Magnum44]

AWESOME!!! LOL!

[chris37]

Then just shadow ban them.

[Trillian]

Only conservatives and republicans can be discriminated against.

[Drew68]

Perhaps this will cause President Trump to leave Twitter causing their traffic to crater.

President Trump will never leave Twitter. This ruling is meaningless. It changes nothing.

Reclaiming my wiiiig.

Reclaiming my wiiiig.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Strangely I now expect Twitter to join this legal battle on Trump’s side.

If this stands all attempts by social media companies to censor content will be dead (including Facebook’s silencing of conservative news feeds).

[b4its2late]

ROTFLMAO! I hear ya!

[Yo-Yo]

From a Bloomberg story regarding the case:

The judge declined to issue an order forcing Trump to unblock the users, saying her ruling should be sufficient to force a change in behavior.

The proverbial $1 judgement win?

This “judge” has outed himself as an idiot.

I wish Congress would get in the habit of impeaching these idiots. As it stands, they are essentially unaccountable.

[chief lee runamok]

asinine asshats that brought this ridiculous lawsuit have their own tweeter account to post their rants and raves.
President Trump is not shutting down their account. What’s the issue?

[Genoa]

The judge can’t say that realDonaldTrump must be treated differently from other Twitter users. Terms of Use must be the same for all.

..The judge declined to issue an order forcing Trump to unblock the users, saying her ruling should be sufficient to force a change in behavior...

Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!

[Alberta's Child]

It’s pretty well established that there are multiple people posting as “@RealDonaldTrump,” so this may go down as one of the most pointless Federal court cases of all time.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

The real question is what is this judges Twitter handle?

[Alberta's Child]

So Trump can't block them for their political views, but he can block them because he thinks they're @ssholes.

LOL.

[irishjuggler]

I totally get the argument that Trump uses his Twitter feed to disseminate information relevant to the general public, and, as such, no one should be deprived of that information. But why just Trump? Shouldn’t the same rule apply to any and all public officials with Twitter feeds, e.g., mayors, senators, governors, city councilmen, et al.? If Trump can’t block users, then why can they?

[Sarah Barracuda]

I block people on twitter all the time, 100 percent for their commie views..so apparently you can’t block people anymore because the big a-hole Govt says so..yeah Id like to see them try to enforce it

[trebb]

When did Trump take specific action to block Twitter users?
