There are so many lawyers simultaneously angry cussing/laughing hysterically over Trump attempting to sue Facebook and Twitter that I honestly don’t know which one to read first. So I have decided to attempt to gather them all in a thread.
This is only the second tweet in this thread, if that tells you anything.

This is not an unexpected start to this thread:

Here’s the actual live tweet to Mike’s thread:

The laypeople who have never seen LawTwitter in action when they’re really revved up about a dumb as fuck lawsuit are really missing out on the entertainment value they provide.

If you’re wondering if these lawsuits are entirely performative and a waste of everybody’s time, know that they’re entirely performative and a waste of everybody’s time.

As demonstrated above. 😂

They’re getting creative now.

Welp, time to preemptively get my popcorn ready.
https://twitter.com/akivamcohen/status/1412800812674338818
I’m going to go enjoy the show now. If anyone finds any other good lawyer reactions, feel free to share.
Threading got all jumbled: Wolf’s commentary is always amusing.

What’s a batshit stupid lawsuit without some Popehat commentary?
https://twitter.com/popehat/status/1412802878805209089
Of course we’re no where near done here.

Who’s the asshole who messed up the threading of the tweet this is all stemming from? Me. I’m the asshole. Here it is.

Another threading error:

Man, they’re not even pulling their punches.
https://twitter.com/BradMossEsq/status/1412794864127950849
And we’re sure these filings are real and not a parody, right?

LawTwitter is an untapped well of unintentional comedy.
https://twitter.com/smbrnsn/status/1412796011144220680
I lied. It’s entirely intentional.

This lawsuit consists entirely of dial-up noises.
https://twitter.com/gabrielmalor/status/1412795696869216257
*popcorn popping noises*

From what I understand—for those who like myself, aren’t lawyers—Pro Hac Vice is basically a petition to the court to appear on behalf of a client when the lawyer is out of jurisdiction, otherwise it’s an Unauthorized Practice of Law, so…

Yes, but popcorn, Katie. It’s an excuse to make mountains and mountains of popcorn.
https://twitter.com/katiephang/status/1412817610752864256
Now they’re just being feisty.

Just so you can’t say I’m not showing opposing arguments: ‘The monopoly power [facebook] exercises over public discourse’ he says, as he engages in public discourse on an entirely separate platform. K.

Subtweet shaaaaaaaaaaaade.
https://twitter.com/dmschmeyer/status/1412810898641547265
A point that has been made repeatedly today.
https://twitter.com/mirandayaver/status/1412816644296962052
Mike’s thread is just becoming super Meta at this point. Especially with him retweeting this thread, where I retweeted a retweet of his tweet. Just go follow him and read his superb commentary before all reality collapses in on itself.

Raise your hand if you saw this coming.
https://twitter.com/samstein/status/1412804398250696710
Totally, ‘I refuse to put on pants for this zoom meeting’ energy.
https://twitter.com/danielahorwitz/status/1412799242691883016
See most of these lawyers in this thread explaining their stance on the subject?
Trump supporters: “This is going to win”
“Okay, why?”
“…”
“Hello?”
“…”
“So, just cause you said so, huh?”
“…”
“That’s not how this works.”
“Prove it.”
“😑”

Breaking News: Trump is releasing his debut single on Spotify called “All I Do is Grift”

For the Big Lebowski jokes. Also, if you’re following along at home, search the term “Pro Hac Vince” to get a little chuckle.

I knew I could count on someone for the My Cousin Vinny joke.

He finds them on Craigslist and he pays them with Monopoly money.

Here’s another excellent thread of commentary:
https://twitter.com/gtconway3d/status/1412827619729489927
I ask you, how is it that Twitter is free? How??? 
I’m sure I’ll add more to this as the day goes on, but seriously people, don’t remain ignorant about matters of public discourse that you don’t have to. Educate yourselves. The information is out there, no matter how difficult you find using the search function is.
Since @_justinlevitt_’s quote is getting a lot of traction today, here it is:
“A lawsuit without provable facts showing a statutory or constitutional violation, is just a tweet with a filing fee.” — Justin Levitt, former Deputy Assistant AG of the US DOJ Civil Rights Division
“A lawsuit without provable facts showing a statutory or constitutional violation, is just a tweet with a filing fee.” — Justin Levitt, former Deputy Assistant AG of the US DOJ Civil Rights Division
Why hasn’t someone made a bingo card for this filing yet? We’ve probably hit BINGO seventy times over with nearly every lawyer making the same basic points about how much of a joke it is.
https://twitter.com/renato_mariotti/status/1412848815409930245
Ask me about, Ty Beard and Nick Rekieta, the first two LOLyers I ever watched LawTwitter mock into the ground. They championed a sex pest named Vic Mignogna, where the filing claimed calling his client a ‘piece of shit’ was defamatory because his client ‘wasn’t literal feces’.

I’ve been trying to get caught up reading my own list of bookmarked threads, and I missed Akiva over here scolding Trump’s entire legal team like he just came home to find out they’d dumped entire cans of paint on the floor in the process of trying to climb to get the crayons.
https://twitter.com/AkivaMCohen/status/1412880438474027021
This is getting even more Meta: Adding the tweet about how we don’t need all of these threads, to the thread compiling all the threads, that demonstrate how Trump’s LOLsuit is going to get BTFO of court. The Matrix is loading. Please be patient.
https://twitter.com/SteamboatUSA/status/1412849695739760644
FYI @questauthority is live streaming a live session of mocking this LOLsuit if anyone is interested. You can watch him eat his hat. 😂 twitch.tv/questauthority
