AOC, Omar and Twitter Sued for $88 Million for 'Overbearing Pain and Suffering' Due to Trump Ban

https://www.newsweek.com/aoc-omar-twitter-sued-88-million-overbearing-pain-suffering-due-trump-ban-1561917

A California man is suing Twitter and two progressive congresswomen in connection with President Donald Trump's suspension from the social media platform, citing "overbearing pain and suffering."

In the complaint filed in a U.S. District Court in California on Tuesday, Erik Estavillo argued that he and every "follower that was, without a doubt, emotionally and mentally damaged as a result of the Presidents' ban" is entitled to $88.7 million each.

Estavillo, who is representing himself, is also seeking the reinstatement of Trump's account and a retaliatory Twitter ban on Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, who, he argues, promote "Eastern communist philosophies."

The plaintiff claims that because of various health problems, including depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and Crohn's syndrome, Estavillo has "no friends" and can rarely leave the house. As a result, the complaint says, he heavily relies on Twitter to participate in political discourse.


I can think of a few lawyers who would be happy to help this Snowflake.

.

To cure the “Twitch” in his pants, the self-proclaimed sex addict reportedly resorted to using a Fleshlight to masturbate while watching the salacious gamers, which resulted in him “chaffing” his penis every day.

The plaintiff’s randy pastime was “extremely painful” and caused him redness and mild infections that forced him to use “Neosporin on his tip to prevent necrosis,” per the 56-page document.

Estavillo alleges in the transcript he even once ejaculated on his PC monitor, which caused his gaming system to short-circuit and resulted in a fire that temporarily caused his apartment to black out.


He's one spunky guy.

Last year, Estavillo sued Twitch over masturbation injuries allegedly caused by "scantily clad gamers" on the platform.

It's in the constitution -- thou shalt suffer the twits to tweet or pay profusely. Do your own research!

Promoting violence... um.... yup


He can still engage in political discourse. No harm, no foul.

I want my $88.7 million. Soros is apparently a dead beat and he hasn't paid up. Let's see if this guy is better.
