to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

And no matter how obvious this all is - millions still believe trump swooped in & saved it.
The way I see it, since Xi & tiktok CEO were in on this plan - he's now owned by another dictator.
T can say: “Oh, that’s because they were all watching it on TicToc…they love me there!”
I was going to sit out the election, but got regged and voted for Harris.
Had Democrats opposed the ban from the start, the "misconception" you identify wouldn't be possible. The ban passed with stellar support from Democrats and was signed into law by Biden.
MAGAs are Monkeys, just as they're supposed to be.
There’s some fine corruption for you!
The USSC should have upheld their ban.
Y'all enable Trump by doing so and reward Shou Zi Chew
the media is owned by the ppl who run the country now openly. billionaire felons.

I mean...I guess we did say we wanted to know "who on earth" could be this level of stupid
And now we know
If anyone's going to own my data, last on the list is the Chinese fucking communist party.
The young voters of America gave all that back because TikTok convince them "both sides bad." And y'know what? Thanks. That was my taxes.

The criticism of the GOP's nonsense on this is valid, of course, but this ban wasn't, and couldn't have been, just a GOP thing. A bunch of authoritarian Democrats supported it too.
Call the police - oh, wait.
Let’s call the media then - oh, wait.
Okay, Let’s turn to the courts - oh, wait.
Surely SCOTUS will save us? - oh, wait.
Well, what about Congress? - oh, wait.
And tech bros?, the military too? - oh, wait
AS STATE MEDIA.
Have some dignity and ban yourselves from Tik Tok.
It isn't your's anymore. It's Trump's.

Meanwhile... how's their reporting on Gaza?
I thought the SCOTUS upheld the ban. Roberts predicted that their decisions would not be respected. It did not take long for him to defy them even though they have been biased for him.
Democrat bad. GOP good. Rinse and repeat multiple times per day every day.

Where corporations and the rich value profits over people.
biden didn't have to sign the bill
dems went on their own tiktok accounts to explain it was a 'national security risk'
i'm always ALWAYS going to blame trump doing this first
but i'm not going to ignore how our congress ignore our needs for shit like this.

He wants to be Jesus Christ, Savior and King of Kings.
I was so wrong about him. He is way worse than I thought.
MY BAD. 🤑
and what's this "Media fell for it" shit? they didn't fall for a damn thing, they're willing accomplices and have been for decades.
Media is complicit.
-- and the people didnt realize they had been manipulated
Yes, he could have vetoed to make a point, but it would have made no substantive difference. Therefore, it doesn't seem to me to be a valid criticism of him on this point bc both ways of handling it have their justifications and same outcome.
Just an overall lack of strategic thinking, which is a pattern
From one Jeff to another, I agree with you 3000%
Donald, the delusional one is a snake oil salesman and has conned his way into over 70+ million peoples brains. And they are buying his crap lock stock and barrel.
A dumb fucking country
What will it take?
He's going to blame Biden for all of his own mistakes for as long as he can. How long? A year? 2? 3? 4?
So far, every time he blames Biden, the MAGAts believe him.
On an hourly and daily basis Donald, the delusional one will keep making dumbass decisions to destroy our country piece by piece.
And where are any Republicans at all pushing back against him?
No guard rails,
No accountability
Reagan used the Iran hostage situation as a stunt to bolster his image, too. Though I think that was more his cabinet and the First Lady than him, he was already senile by then.
Totally agree!
A few billion would likely influence FPOTUS (x34) decision process.

Thanks To Orange Julius Caesar for bringing back our can-can dancing cats and slow motion montages of Korean boy bands.
