Looks like Trump hasn't figured out how to use the block feature on Twitter yet...
Twitter sues U.S. over demand for records on anti-Trump account
Twitter Inc said in a lawsuit on Thursday that it had received a demand from U.S. officials for records that could reveal the user behind an account opposed to President Donald Trump and that it was challenging the demand in court.
The lawsuit over the account @ALT_uscis, claimed to be run by federal immigration employees, was filed in federal court in San Francisco, where Twitter is based.
Following Trump's inauguration in January, anonymous Twitter feeds voicing concerns at more than a dozen U.S. government agencies appeared to challenge the president's views on climate change and other issues.
"The rights of free speech afforded Twitter’s users and Twitter itself under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution include a right to disseminate such anonymous or pseudonymous political speech," Twitter said in the lawsuit.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which is a defendant in the lawsuit, declined to comment on pending litigation.
The company said it received an administrative summons last month demanding that it provide records related to the account. The acronym CIS refers to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and the account's description refers to itself as "immigration resistance."
The social media company has a history of challenging other government demands for information on its users, including a 2012 demand from New York prosecutors about an Occupy Wall Street protester.

I find this all so ironic. Buzz is a vitriolic poster at best. Arrogant, rude and aggressive at worst. Why is it these same people feel they are being picked on? If you're going to dish it out, don't be upset if a little comes back. Crybaby is right...
Buzz gets angry at my response in this thread (see below) but look at his history. Look how this guy speaks to people here.
You are the prototypical liberal fuckhead that accuses people of racism for having the nerve to tell you how fucking stupid you are.
As usual, you got nothing right. Congratulations. Maybe it's time you step away because clearly my stepping away changed nothing you ignorant cunt.
What the fuck do you know asshat? I wasn't here for over a week and the same pathetic fucking bullshit happened over and over again. You fucktards blame me because it's much easier than looking in a mirror.
You guys are the most fucking pathetic people out there, and then you have the nerve to attack me because I won't put up with your bullshit? Fuck you.
You have a whole forum section you've already tarded up. There's no need for you to spread the plague to the rest of this place. It's on life support as it is thanks to you.
No, the dumb motherfuckers like yourself ....
Relax. Not everything needs a response from you. Social media has fed the ignorant more than they can handle.
This thread is such a pile of shit and I haven't logged in for 5 weeks. I'm sure it's still my fault though, right?
The last couple pages are what happens when you leave the ignorant to talk amongst themselves because you realized months ago how much of a waste of time it was to try to educate them.
Cunt? Yet again, good thing I was away so this thread could stay so nice. Fuckers.
Quite frankly there are so few people here capable of having an intelligent discussion on politics that this whole thread is nothing but fodder from everybody with rare exceptions.
You don't know jack shit, and you know I know you don't know jack shit which is why you are always attacking me instead of anything I post.
I seriously don't get why you guys post such stupid shit. .

Nothing is being accomplished right now ....
Not true!
We can pollute streams now.
We can shoot wolf cubs in Alaska and we can also shoot bears from helicopters again!

12 people could be involved in a treasonous scandal yet it's the leakers we should focus on.
Time out, isn't this whole thing about leaking and trying to influence and election? Wiki leaks DNC info (oh no!!!). Obama admin leaks names of unmasked (who gives a fuck, the Russians leaked some shit). Get your talking points straight. Either leaks matter or they don't.
"Unmasking" is non synonymous with "leaking." They are not even remotely the same. This is a shameful smokescreen put forth by team Trump with zero evidence.
False equivalency again. Rice did her job. She wasn't out there rogue leaking names (to whom?) She must request the information from the intelligence community, then they decide if the name is provided to her. Which is what she did. Furthermore there is a paper trail that shows how she followed protocol. Hardly something anybody would do who was breaking the law. That's about it. I guess the GOP can waste millions in tax payer money to "investigate" this if they want. They'll come up with nothing as usual.
The eagerness for right wing media outlets to go along with this distraction is almost treasonous in my book.

Don't expect an answer. They've been running away as of late because they can't reconcile the conspiracy theories that they "know" with actual evidence.
wow, rice has so many holes in her story. Not doing well with Andrea Mitchell.
I wonder if we watched the same interview.
What exactly is it that your think she did wrong?
Trump is in a world of shit right now, as is his cohorts, and this is supposed to be something? Are you guys kidding?

You keep babbling on about 911, what in the world does that have to do with the difference between public/private sector that you quoted me in? Nobody is talking about 911 other than you.
What question are you talking about? I've already asked before, but you just insult me instead.
You seem more angry than normal lately...
