Nunes suing twitter for $250 million

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Defamation, slander and censorship.

250 million dollars worth of hurt feelings?

Nones (not a mispelling) and the Teenage Sandman both filing 250 MM lawsuits.Two crybabies.

Wonder what AOC could get in a lawsuit.

That's why he is doing it............

Twitter is so far gone on censoring certain people........

A court finding of any censorship turns it into a Federal jurisdiction

It’s not going to unfold at all.He is a public figure trying to sue Twitter over a satirical account. The judge will laugh him out of court.

You could be correct. There are more issues than just a couple satirical accounts. Time will tell.

are Russian Troll Farms involved with the rapid rise in followers? and the same reason Nunes and other conservatives are losing followers?

The Cow has eclipsed Devin Nunes himself...

This whole thing is hilarious.
