You've got to be kidding me! The DOJ is fighting Trump not being allowed to block people on Twitter

Link to tweet

The U.S. Department of Justice was in court today to defend the right of the president to block people on Twitter, arguing that while he tweets in an official capacity he blocks people in a personal capacity.







Imagine wasting time and taxpayer money on this petty shit. Will it go all the way to the Supreme Court?

1. Just like when he shits on us versus shitting in the commode.

I am ashamed I ever practiced law, although I stopped in 1996.

2. I've never gotten unblocked

3. Then Twitter should be able to ban him.

[onecaliberal]

5. I've texted the twitter admin asking when I will be unblocked

I never get a reply.

14. What got you blocked ? because I've been trying, lol

[onecaliberal]

17. He blocked me during the campaign in 2016. Relentless tweeting him. Calling out his lies

And taunting him with facts and GIFs. He’s such a baby.

4. Your a pinko lib-u-rel commie...

6. Please educate me

When the "U.S. Department of Justice" does these things, what exactly does that mean? Does trump instruct Barr to do his bidding, do they come up with this shit on their own, or what???? Honestly, I'm confused. Why is it even in their purview to go after the ACA, for instance?

15. The DOJ represents the federal government

in a lawsuit. In the case about the tweets, Trump is being sued in his official capacity. Therefore, the DOJ lawyers represent the president.

As for the ACA, several states are suing the federal government on the grounds that the ACA violates the US Constitution. Normally, the DOJ would defend the law. Now, they are dropping their defense which results in the political goal of repealing the ACA.

Hope that helps.

19. Thanks, it does.

7. Our TAX DOLLARS hard at work.

8. The best way to do this is if Twitter suspends permanently the orange maggots Twitter account

End of problem. Save tax payer money.

[Totally Tunsie]

13. When IS Twitter going to do that?

Nobody deserves it more, with his hate speech and calls to violence.

C'mon Twitter - wake up!

9. Trump finally got an AG who wants to be his personal lawyer nt

[allgood33]

10. I guess he doesn't like hearing from me?

[dalton99a]

11. And this is not abuse of power?

[Vinca]

16. What's their argument? Poor Don's a victim???
