I don't understand. This was a law (put by Republicans into a bill for Ukraine funding, which Dems wanted) and SCOTUS upheld the law. Trump (who started the tiktok hate) can't change the law by himself. And while Dems are idiots, the tictok ban was 95% Republican.

I hope people will see through this sad charade. I won’t be going back there to be monitored and censored and share red hat space.

Our long national nightmare has ended!

tonyzmoon91.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’ve seen many “Leftists” thanking Trump, saying that’s my president. I really hate living here sometimes.

Oh thank fuck i can't live without CapCut

suhnih.kawaii.social•34 days ago

OH WHERE IS IT

vinesky.hastwt.net•34 days ago

I'm not going back

julezverne.bsky.social•34 days ago

He’s not the president yet!!

crookedbridge.bsky.social•34 days ago

A win that will become yesterday's news in less than a week.

flammablepajamas.bsky.social•34 days ago

I feel like the Dems are going to experience an incredibly difficult reckoning— so long as We The People get organized and be brave.

karborus.bsky.social•34 days ago

Do not be fooled, the ban is still active. Unless you still have it on your phone, the app is gone. TikTok is gone. And if it comes back it will just be TrumpTok.

reeseer83.bsky.social•34 days ago

It's a habitual problem with elected Democrats. At least this time it wasn't a unilateral invasion of a foreign country.

Dems love making unforced errors, theyre addicted to them

dicecookplate.bsky.social•34 days ago

Hard not to when you are up against MAGA - completely morally bankrupt & oozing vileness & rot.

markjinla.bsky.social•34 days ago

That’s absolutely right, and many Dems are doing it again by backing the Laken Riley bill. Why haven’t we learned that Dems need to fight GOP stupidity, not offer knock-off versions of their lousy ideas?

cocomalca.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’m not going back to tic tok I’m good ✊🏽

rodolphus.bsky.social•34 days ago

While Republicans will pretend that they never said a thing about the app being banned, even with incontrovertible evidence proving otherwise.

trippingjupiter.bsky.social•34 days ago

It's really infuriating.

mellher.bsky.social•34 days ago

Definitely will not be redownloading f that

raeleemaycarpenter.bsky.social•34 days ago

US politics is like a cheap boardgame, only the stakes are literally billions of lives.

pinkdayze.bsky.social•34 days ago

As much as I dislike this outcome, it's not like Biden put much effort into reversing it either. We had influencers and lawmakers at his door demanding change and he ignored them and handed off that "win" to Trump in the very end.

dicecookplate.bsky.social•34 days ago

TikTok CEO already paid Benedict Donald. Biden could have done an EO which are not laws-it would have been tied up in courts, just like Benedict’s EO will be if ppl bring a lawsuit. No matter what Biden did, he’d get the blame bc ppl just can’t seem to blame gop for anything they do.

seachanger.bsky.social•34 days ago

as much as i hate how dems do these things, this is ALSO tiktok bending the knee

pinkdayze.bsky.social•34 days ago

It's hard for me to really fault TikTok, they're doing what any other business would do in their situation to stay alive. Trump and his henchmen just saw an opportunity to further their influence and took it.

dicecookplate.bsky.social•34 days ago

Benedict Donald & MAGA just put ChiNA over America 1st. They just took $$ for TikTok-the company MAGA connected to ChiNA-to collect data on our citizens, allow foreign influence & propaganda to destroy our country. Dems should run w/that & then make same connection w/X, FB, IG, who all do the same.

descartesghost123.bsky.social•34 days ago

They are so inept in this. They think policy matters. It doesn’t now , it’s optics. It’s WWF, it’s the fucking gong show and they keep getting gonged!
We need new young forward thinking blood to combat the shit storm that’s about to rain down on us

Has somebody checked to see how much his bitcoin scam has gone up? Make sure to make note we know he’s just laundering his money there.

rusty54.bsky.social•34 days ago

I wonder how much grift he and his cronies made you know it was not out of the goodness of his heart. He got something for it.

tylerh3.bsky.social•34 days ago

Infuriating and pathetic and predictable

authoremmariebee.bsky.social•34 days ago

I used it to save all my fav videos. I think I’m done with it tho.

kenwang3900.bsky.social•34 days ago

Good job, Democrats elected officials. They are really smart!🙄

landmarx24.bsky.social•34 days ago

I won't be surprised when they reverse the ban for him too.

danu10.bsky.social•34 days ago

Unfortunately you are correct

spacer.bsky.social•34 days ago

i'm beginning to understand where the "the democrats signed a deal with the republicans to lose and hand them the US gov over" (conspiracy) theory comes from ....

moodskippurr.bsky.social•34 days ago

It's not even worth discussing parties anymore. It's all just oligarch nonsense.

eggbag.bsky.social•34 days ago

This should show that all the Democrat party exists to do is make the Republican party look better. That's it

cannibal.holiday•34 days ago

In a way that shows that banning TikTok was right.
Conveniently (for Trump) they are now doing the political propaganda work and social manipulation that they've been accused of previously.

Just imagine what the agreement was between TikTok CEO and Trump. Just thinking about makes me feel not so safe. I'm delete TikTok.

polibrown.bsky.social•34 days ago

I mean, maybe we should frame it as "corporate social media companies with security concerns get special treatment from Trump." One minute they hate Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, etc for rotting kids brains and being politically evil. Then, they hop on the orange wiener the next second.
