But why stop there? What makes his situation unique?
1. I have 5.2 million followers. Less than 20 accounts are blocked for ongoing harassment. 0 are my constituents.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) August 29, 2019
2. Harassment is not a viewpoint. Some accounts, like the Daily Caller, posted fake nude photos of me & abused my comments to spread it. No one is entitled to abuse. https://t.co/0QWKqJFzRe
If AOC really believed that followers were being abusive, then she would be free to report them to Twitter and have Twitter suspend their accounts. Now I personally never quite understood the lawsuit or the ruling that determined that Trump did not have the right to block users on Twitter. Every Twitter account can block or mute people, and every Twitter account can be blocked or muted by others. I lost count (at least 8), but I have been blocked by people multiple time over disagreements. My best guess is that they get sick of all of notifications showing people "liking" or "retweeting" my "reply" to one of their tweets (rather than notifying them that they are being "liked" or "retweeted").
All that being said, the Judges in this particular case have no real authority to demand that Twitter (or any other social media) extend out their ruling on Trump to any other politicians (which is part of why it is such a seriously flawed and boneheaded ruling to begin with). Ocasio-Cortez and everyone but the President will continue to be allowed to block accounts. Seems indicative of how our 2020 court system works for some people, but very specifically not for others.

YUGE YAWN!!!!!!!
What happened at Pragur U that so worked you up????? Typical Lil Scotty....change the subject to cover your inadequacies....!!!!
Actually Denny...
It's PragerU and their lawsuit is still going on. Not sure if you realize this, but the court system time frame does not conform with the political news cycle attention span.
As I stated, I don't believe the courts have any rights to wade into Twitter rules in regards to who can and cannot block someone else. Those are personal decisions people within the platform make.
On the flip side (follow this closely because I see you getting lost) YouTube is not making the case that people get to pick and choose what they decide to block or allow. YouTube wants to pick and choose "for people" what gets blocked and what doesn't.
That's the difference.
It would be like Twitter deciding to simply block all of the President's tweets or mark them as sensitive (not because they were R rated - but because they didn't like the President or the content of his message).
That being said Denny...
You bring up a good comparison. Given that the courts has decided that the President blocking individual users is a free speech problem (because Twitter is a public forum) - then by legal precedent that would mean that YouTube should also not be allowed to block specific users or specific videos for any reason other than for excessive violence or nudity (which are the terms of YouTube).
If YouTube wanted to change their rules to allow them to censor by political content, then they would admittedly be giving up their status as a public forum.
Good call Denny... even a broken clock is right twice a day and this is one of those times you accidently make a great point.
Fox News Anchor Rips Trump
“Fox News host Neil Cavuto delivered a scorching rebuke on Thursday to President Trump’s recent criticism that the cable network ‘isn’t working for us anymore,’ and called out his tenuous relationship with the media,” the Washington Post reports.
Said Cavuto: “Mr. President, we don’t work for you. I don’t work for you. My job is to cover you, not fawn over you or rip you. Just report on you.”
He later added: “It is called being fair and balanced, Mr. President, yet it is fair to say you’re not a fan when that balance includes stuff you don’t like to hear or facts you don’t like to have questioned.”
Women Voters Spell Trouble for Trump
The Hill: “Polls show President Trump losing women voters by huge margins, presenting his reelection campaign with a massive hurdle to overcome as he seeks a second term in office.”
“Perhaps most alarmingly for Trump, the president is losing support from the white women who were pivotal to his electoral success in 2016.”
Nebraska Corn Farmers ‘Outraged’ at Trump
Corn farmers in Nebraska are “outraged by the Trump administration’s lack of support for the American farmer,” according to a press release by the Nebraska Corn Board and the Nebraska Corn Growers Association.
Axios: Farmers across the U.S. have had to cut costs, take up side gigs and go without health insurance to stay afloat during the U.S.-China trade war. The Trump administration has promised billions in aid to affected farmers, though an analysis showed that most paid so far went to the country’s largest and wealthiest farmers.”
Said Cavuto: “Mr. President, we don’t work for you. I don’t work for you. My job is to cover you, not fawn over you or rip you. Just report on you.”
Cavuto went on to say -
"Who do you think we are Mr. President? MSDNC? If you're looking to Fox News to lavish a tongue bath on your balls every day in fawning adoration like MSDNC did for 0linsky for 8 years you've come to the wrong place."

Trump Says ‘Weak’ Companies Blaming Tariffs as Excuse
President Trump tweeted that “badly run and weak companies” have blamed his trade war with China for flagging business in order to mask “bad management.”
CNBC: “His tweet comes as more companies from a range of industries have started to slam his tariffs on about $550 billion in Chinese goods. Earlier this week, more than 160 industry groups criticized Trump’s latest move to slap duties on Chinese products.”
A Rattled Trump Scrambles for Victories
“President Trump has become increasingly rattled over the potential of an economic downturn and is spinning to find victories to sell to voters,” CNN reports.
“He and his economic team, who are often at odds with one another, have been searching for ways to prevent market anxieties from spilling over into next year’s presidential election, but have yet to agree on a solution. They have wavered between floating tax cuts to insisting they aren’t considering tax cuts. They have feuded privately over which direction to take. They have contradicted each other publicly.”
“And Trump has insisted it’s the Federal Reserve’s fault, while his own aides have admitted much of it is because of his trade war with China. Trump refuses to give up on the tactic, saying it would make him look weak.”

This is incredibly difficult for me to do but I feel that it’s necessary to come forward and expose the type of person that Trump will select for the Supreme Court of the great country.
I was raped by whoever Trump selects to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg for the Supreme Court.
It was in the 1990s and the details are a little fuzzy. We were at a party and I distinctly remember this person coming on to me and rubbing up against me.
I told this person I wasn’t interested but whoever it was persisted and when we were alone forced himself or herself on me, pulling off my clothes and penetrating me while I constantly said, “No!”
I haven’t come forward yet because I was ashamed and afraid. This person is clearly very powerful, but now that this person is being considered for the Supreme Court, I think it’s necessary to let people know who they’re dealing with.
And the Soros money doesn’t hurt.
But this stain on my soul does hurt. And it will be with me forever—or at least until after the confirmation hearing—the very painful confirmation hearing.

MSNBC Admits They Make Up All Stories About Trump Using Book Of Mad Libs
NEW YORK, NY—After Lawrence O'Donnell admitted to publishing a sensational, world-altering, but also totally fake story about Trump's finances and Russia, MSNBC confessed that it simply makes up all its reports about Trump using the patented Mad Libs system of making up random words and sticking them in blanks in pre-written sentences.
The station's reporters sit around a conference table with a big Mad Libs story displayed on a large sheet of paper or whiteboard. Then they all take turns shouting out funny verbs, adjectives, people, places, and adverbs in order to make up a story about Donald Trump to air.
"TRUMP went on a picnic with RUSSIA and NUKED a HURRICANE with his big HAIR," one MSNBC exec read off the board after a brainstorming session with other execs, writers, and editors. "Perfect. Get copy on my desk by noon!"
Using this system, MSNBC was able to produce a fake letter Trump sent to Putin while on summer vacation:
Dear PUTIN,
I am having a(n) TREASONOUS time at camp. The counselour is INSANE and the food is SINISTER. I met MIKE PENCE and we became ORANGE friends. Unfortunately, TRUMP is BAD and I TREASONED my COMBOVER so we couldn`t go BETRAYING like everybody else. I need more RUSSIAN BOTS and a HURRICANE sharpener, so please DISASTROUSLY NUKE more when you COLLUDE back.
Your PUPPET,
TRUMP
After this letter was found to be fake, MSNBC said they were "deeply sorry but also not sorry."
fucking cnn. they're just making shit up out of whole cloth these days.
As long as they have idiots who believe them, then they will continue to peddle nonsense.

I see the "pastor" now is spamming using ex-NBC now Fox "talent" Neil Cavuta and is shocked to find Fox has another "never-Trumper" or closet liberal like Shepard Smith, even if he had kept his head low. deep stater Paul Ryan now is on the board. and now Donna Brazile, the Clinton debate cheater and DNC operative. So far they haven't touched the prime time players but that's the direction they are heading in ever since the old man died and the swamp started creeping in. Of course people are ditching cable and the old media sources so look for something new to wipe out the dying MSM and yes, even "Fox". But their prime timers keep growing in spite of it all. Now bigger than their main prime time competition combined.
FAKE NEWS is having its last hurrahs, like some old white men here. Trump will smash his next opponent, despite whatever the current "polling" says. And it could be brutal to those hanging on to that slim hope of his defeat.
RIP

Rumblings: Did Trump Set Up White House Leaker Madeleine Westerhout with Ludicrous ‘Nuke the Hurricanes’ Nonsense?
President Trump’s executive assistant Madeleine Westerhout resigned on Thursday after she was caught leaking details about Trump’s family and Oval Office operations to reporters.
Westerhout joined Trump’s transition team from the RNC and was not considered a ‘Trump loyalist.’
According to the New York Times, President Trump learned on Thursday that Westerhout had “indiscreetly shared details” about Trump’s family and “Oval Office operations” during a recent “off-the-record” dinner with reporters in New Jersey.
By Friday morning their were rumblings that Westerhout was fired for leaking the ludicrous “nuke the hurricanes” report to Axios earlier this week.
The White House scoffed at the ridiculous report.
But Axios reporter Jonathan Swan stood by his reporting.

your on par with the alky and his 'milk cattle ranchers' when it comes to agricultural knowledge, pederast.
a shitty wet spring and the suspension of ethanol blending in gasoline is what's really hurting the farmers.
farming is a fickle business, and if you require government subsidies to stay afloat you deserve to go under.
ethanol blending has always been a stupid fucking idea as most liberal ideas are. it harms small engines, and when you factor in the carbon impact of corn production as cornell has, it's a fucking loser from an environmental impact angle as well.
Minnesota, US-based cooperative Corn Plus will suspend operations at its ethanol plant in Winnebago, Minnesota following the end of the current production run.
According to the company, the board and management will work with Corn Plus’ lenders, creditors and other stakeholders to determine next steps, which could include resumption of operations or sale of the plant.
Despite a number of upgrades over the last few years to improve plant performance and increase capacity to 50 million gallons per year, the decline in market economics for the industry has created difficult operating conditions for Corn Plus. This has resulted in the plant being unable to operate profitably in the current climate.
The plant employs 37 staff members, most of whom have been notified of redundancies. The company added that it remains ‘hopeful’ that the layoff will not be permanent, and that the plant could reopen in the future if market conditions improve.
“This has been a very difficult situation for Corm Plus to navigate,” said Lawrence Sukalski, chairman of the board for Corn Plus. “We kept the plant open as long as feasible, in hopes that we could continue operations and retain jobs for our employees. We just could not overcome the negative economics that the industry is facing right now.”

true, but i was referring specifically to the grain farmers. the truth is there's not a single sector within agri-business that's not suffering right now. but reliance on the government is NEVER a smart play.
the farmers i talk to remain loyal to trump. they're certainly hurting, but they understand what it took to get us into this mess, and what it will take to get us out.
in the run up to the 2016 election i knew exactly one dairy farmer who had a hillary sign in his front yard.
today he's no longer in business.

anyone stupid enough to confide in a member of the MSM is too fucking stupid to work in the white house.
It's amazing there are still MSM sources inside the Trump administration. Talk about deep state.
Yeah, and yet, we kept hearing geniuses tell us there was and is no deep state.
I hope Trump wins just to send them all into therapy.

IN CHINA IDIOTS.....Should be great news for spare ribs farmers in the US.....too bad trump is fucking it up with tariffs.....!!!!
Even if the White House set up Westerhout, it's not like they are going to admit it. Perhaps someone did tell her that the President wanted to Nuke Hurricanes to see if it shows up in the news the next week. A good way to get rid of leakers.
