It almost doesn't matter if this is true or not because the government would never admit it. It would destroy public confidence in government, generally.

better to let that happen slowly over the next 8 years until it's normalized and nobody gives a gently caress anymore.

Isn't it illegal to block citizens from being able to communicate to you? Like isn't that 1st amendment or somewhere else in the constitution?

There is a court case being put together about that

Theoretically it would only apply to @potus and not @realdonaldtrump however. Or maybe not. Who knows! The future is a wild loving ride.

Normally of course, when you get blocked or banned on a website it isn't a 1st Amendment issue.

However it may very well be unconstitutional for Donny to block people on Twitter and lawsuits are being prepared as we speak.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Monday underscored the distrust between Moscow and Washington, telling the House Armed Services Committee that he’s seen nothing to indicate that Russian President Vladimir Putin is interested in cooperation with the United States.

“Mr. Putin has chosen to be a strategic competitor,” Mattis said.

You might remember a time, back before the election, when we all still lived in the real world and Donald Trump was an unhinged conspiracy theorist. Nearing rock bottom in the polls, wheeling off helplessly down the one-way chute of defeat, Trump began making a series of increasingly implausible claims: The election was a fix; shadowy foreign actors were colluding with elements within the deep state to put their puppet in the White House; media organizations were polluting the country with their lies and distortions; the whole country was about to suffer a soft coup, maybe bloodless, maybe not. If Clinton won, he said, he might not accept the legitimacy of the result, and people were horrified by this suggestion. 

Every principle of representative democracy seemed under threat and all because one jumped-up narcissist and his limp, frothing coterie couldn’t deal with not getting everything they ever wanted. Defeat, past or imminent, does strange things to people. They get desperate, they try to grab hold of any explanation that won’t incriminate themselves, they tear through their own skin looking for stab wounds in the back. It’s understandable.

Quick pre-game on the Sessions hearing:

As I understand it: Session has now admitting meeting with Russian representatives two times. But supposedly there is information that either proves or at least indicates that there were more than two meetings. The committee met with a leader in the NSA last night, possibly (probably?) to see evidence of the additional meeting(s). They are going to ask Sessions today if he had more meetings with the Russians, and he is either going to have to admit to them, or risk perjuring himself. He's already technically perjured himself at least once and theoretically the "oh, that slipped my mind" defense isn't going to work forever.
