Let Tom Cotton explain to you. The Trump administration tried to do this in 2020, Trump actually signed an executive order very similar to the bill that passed https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/speeches/icymi-cotton-objects-to-tiktok-ban-extension

literally irrelevant

I don't think saying that the Republicans tried doing a bad, shitty thing in 2020 but the Democrats proceeded to take over and do the same thing on a greater level is actually a defense for Democrats

crunk1977.bsky.social•124 days ago

Both parties did it. There's no blaming this on one party. The bill had 80% approval.

wisconsinknight.bsky.social•124 days ago

Again, that's not a defense for Democrats. Saying that the bad, shitty thing was popular doesn't make doing the bad, shitty thing right. I get that these two parties can be bipartisan with each other in doing bad things. The problem is I don't WANT them to be bipartisan in those cases.

It doesn't matter whether it was a Democrat or Republican controlled. The point is tick tock is banned and they did that before they did anything else to help the American people.

I think that it's fair to say that it originated with Trump's infectious xenophobia, which the democrats turned around to proclaim it as an absolutely banger idea, theirs all along, good for real Americans

This TikTok ban was Trump's idea originally.

yeah really sucks how he made it stick in spring of 2024 and got 30 democrats to vote for it in the senate

citizenb.bsky.social•124 days ago

It was Trump's IDEA.
That is the point, not what Dems did later on.
Learn how to read.

oh hm so if i murder it’s irrelevant because i didnt think of murder first lmao okay good to know

citizenb.bsky.social•124 days ago

So you can read, you just have zero comprehension of what you read.
I understand.
You think banning TikTok = murder now

citizenb.bsky.social•124 days ago

Look, YOU typed: "this 'tiktok ban was trumps idea originally' thing im seeing from resist accounts is fuckin COPE"
It WAS his idea. Fact.
You are wrong.
Accept the L and move along.

It passed AND OUR DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT SIGNED IT

And SCOTUS was UNANIMOUS in upholding it.

The ignorance of tech and tech security is a bipartisan problem, in part because a lot of our government is geriatric.

Like of course the CEO is playing ball with Trump! First of all he's a CEO, but also what other options has he been left with other than to suck up to Trump to attempt to stay in business?
