Depends on whether theyve classified the account as just a dispatch for statements or an actual way to communicate with them.

And I think thats valid. No public official using their account in an official capacity for making statements from their office should be able to block anyone

I think the issue there is that Trump has explicitly stated that he uses that account for official public statements from his office

I haven't been following closely, but is the gist of this that Trump is trying to bully a private company with empty threats so he can continue his cult of personality without being questioned?

Hes just throwing a tantrum over being fact checked by Twitter

The point of the lockdowns is not eliminate all chance of getting it, it's limit the spread so medical facilities, supplies, and the overall industry could catch up to the uptick of demand.

Is there evidence it actually limits the spread though, is what SmartMuffin is asking

The curve either has flattened or is flattening basically everywhere. Even though every place implemented lockdowns of different serverities at different stages of the epidemic, and some barely locked down at all. Are you not even the slightest bit interested in why that might be? In what that might imply?

I dont even know what youre saying it implies

Come to think of it, the First Amendment also guarantees the right to peacefully assemble. In theory any establishment could use that to argue the government has no right to stop them from opening. There's no need for religion to be a factor at all.

The counter argument to that IMO is that in a pandemic, being near large groups of other people is not peaceful. It is literally inflicting harm on others by the mere presence of one infected person.

But we should burn the Constitution and start over anyway

It's also why we have fire codes limiting the amount of people in a building.

Church is essential.

No its not

The state has absolutely no right to interfere in church matters. See the 1st Amendment. If you don't like it, follow the process for amending the constitution.

This is sadly accurate

EDIT: Apparently its not.

Just noticed that Trump's rolling averages on 538 have finally gotten back in the negative double digits for the first time in months.

So much for rallying around the flag.

Thats the thing, Trump seems to have discarded the notion already that this is a war against the virus

His instinct is to downplay the virus to get the economy going, but thats at the expense of any sort of wartime president boost
