"Yes, and...?" --No longer applies. Even the most feebleminded among us can guess what comes next, so it isn't improvisation, is it? We know what comes next. Not buying into it. #scripted #calculated #propaganda #IAmAhabBookPaquin
I think demócrats fall in the trap again they better start looking in way not to save the gop again because every time they work as a team the gop stab them in the back
All of these are technically correct however largely irrelevant at the end of the day, Donald Trump and Maga are gonna get credit for “saving” TikTok and democrats are gonna stuck with the blame.
No doubt Trump is waiting for a US company to pay him a huge bribe to get TikTok on the cheap. This is how business is going to be under Trump; he targets a company on some BS pretext, forces it out of business, and then offers it to someone corrupt enough to pay him a bribe to get it.
And the people who are going “why didn’t democrats do this?” Because fleecing money from companies to keep them open is arguably worse than what they did do
Yep and in this case it’s CLEARLY Suckerberg. He’s going to bring it into the Meta ring, it’s the reason everyone who voted to ban it is buying stocks.
"went dark"??? they did this to themselves. on purpose.
that is the story.
"just hours after they shut themselves off" should be the headline. to lick Trumps balls.
NY Times missing the story. again.
Estamos bien enterados de la hipocresía de los gringos y de todas las formas que han manipulado a países en todo el mundo un día esto se va a acabar lo bueno es que ellos mismos se están auto-destruyéndose
The Democrats have been outplayed once again. Hint: being against tech will only continue to make it obsolete to Americans . . . Remember how Clinton/Obama were tech leaders? Now the Republicans are. #outoftouch
Why would this be your headline? Why would your headline not say US government to control media thereby censoring content? Your headlines are shameful as you roll over and not defend free speech and free press.
Dems have got to do a better job connecting the dots to the public re: the reason for Trump’s REVERSAL re: Tik Tok. Not complicated. Big donation to his inauguration from partial owner of Tik Tok, and millions of Trump supporters on Tik Tok.
Biden already said he wouldn’t enforce it. Cronies are all just working together to make sure Trump seems like a hero that he is not. He started this whole mess and is about to start a he!! of a lot more.
"Democrats" here saying Trump will "save the day" if he reverses this, got what they deserved on November 5. If you call unfiltered disinformation salvation, you'll love the next four years of this con artist wrecking the foundations of your economy.
Trumpy is now facilitating deals for his smelly musky first lady. Maybe trumpy is paying musky to leave by giving him tic tic. Why isn't this shit illegal? Oh…it is but Repubs don't enforce laws except against Dems.
Breaking News: President-elect Trump said that he would issue an executive order to stall a federal ban of TikTok, the one he requested when in office.
There, fixed it for you.
Never forget that it was Trump calling for the ban on TikTok in the first place, after the campaign against him by young voters during the 2020 election.
And, um, Congress passed a law requiring divestiture. Last I checked (and admittedly, things might have changed or are about to), a president cannot simply override a law with an executive order.
Yeah, and he wants the government to take 50% ownership. Government ownership of a private, for profit enterprise. Sure sounds like that big, bad socialism to me.
What is more concerning to me is the fact that the TikTok CEO is participating in whatever scam they constructing in the background. That solidifies the fact that TT is indeed gone forever. It won’t be the same if they bring it back.
Other convo to be had is he’s trying to win over this many people, the majority are from a younger generation. A man that has shown he’s above the law, in power, has to make you think of the overall picture. It’s quite frightening.
Granted he’s always wanted to be liked. He’s a narcissist but I feel like it’s bigger this time. Maybe I’m just paranoid but history has shown us what can happen.
If you think the billions in GDP generated by Americans effectively ‘fired’ by this ban (and its resolution) are unimportant, you might need to think again.
No but I also think about all the immigrant families that are going to suffer from all the mass deportation I think that's way more important to think about than someone's income if they already figured it out how to do it through TikTok they can do it in real life as well.
An executive order can't undo a law. It would be helpful if you offered some civic education with your reporting. He won't enforce the law the same guarantee Biden offered.
Trump isn’t trying to “save“ TikTok…He’s giving them time to sell it….which is what the Biden Administration has been telling them to do for two years now.
Either way it’s going to get sold…and that’s on TikTok for not doing it sooner.
Because he wants liberals to turn alt right, Just a reminder if you’re happy or you thank him and he brings it back, Then go tf back to twitter and stay there with your new alt right friends
Executive orders are now the defunct law of the land? What a joke. PINO has no idea how this works so he’s just gonna declare he fixed it and moved on. What a sad functionally illiterate old man Trump has become. It’s so sad, I’m crying!
In an economy where people without any diplomas have to work 3-4 jobs to make $30,000 and many PhDs earn the same, the TikTok ban means food removed from people’s tables while Meta and its shareholders make another couple of million. This will not end well.
But w/ Trump in power &his moves in recent months, getting closer to Xi, removing Chinese investment restrictions from the govt CR, his inaugural invitation to Xi, the Chinese Communist Party VP &TT CEO attending..
Trump tried to pass an executive order during his first term. If he tries to save Tiktok, he's going to have Meta or Musk buy it. If the does? No one will fucking use it.
Watch how many young people will be conned into believing that he is their friend, because he “saved” TikTok. They don’t have enough life experience to know better.
SCJ said it was not a violation of the Freedom of Speech they did not ban it. They simply removed the lawsuit against the bill to ban it. He needs to have Congress remove the bill. Which he should be able to do with control of the house. So bigger questions is why he would. It benefits Zuckerberg
Okay. So an Executive Order can overrule the Supreme Court. Even a 9-0 decision. So obviously a paltry 5-4 or 6-3 are mere suggestions, right? Good to know where we stand.
Or “President-elect Trump will ignore the Constitution he will swear an oath to uphold and disregard the law passed by congress and upheld by SCOTUS and reinstate TikTok anyway.”

“But it was bipartisan!”

TRUMP DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE DATA. HELL, HE WOULD SELL THAT ANYWAY TO CHINA OR RUSSIA OR INDIA.

This isn't fair.
China and Ruzzia can celebrate…
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
You got what you voted for…
Wake up America🤞🇺🇸
There, fixed it for you.
He couldn't care less why TikTok is being banned, he only cares about how he looks.
But but what about National Security?
I hope Europe will take the initiative and block it.
🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
