How is this not more Obstruction of Justice? A sitting 'president' accusing Gov. & State A.G....

A sitting 'president' accusing Gov. & State A.G of 'illegally using the State’s legal apparatus to take down and destroy this very important organization, & others'.

A serious accusation.



The NRA is under siege by Cuomo and the New York State A.G., who are illegally using the State’s legal apparatus to take down and destroy this very important organization, & others. It must get its act together quickly, stop the internal fighting, & get back to GREATNESS - FAST!



...People are fleeing New York State because of high taxes and yes, even oppression of sorts. They didn’t even put up a fight against SALT - could have won. So much litigation. The NRA should leave and fight from the outside of this very difficult to deal with (unfair) State!

"Bully", in this use coined by TR, meant awesome, grand. Not to literally "bully" others.

His feed is at times illegal and obstructive, frequently untrue or downright lies, and thoroughly mean spirited, often hate speech. If that doesn’t get someone banned, Twitter needs to rethink its criterion, lest it fosters further degradation of the social discourse
