Love how the shit article keeps referring to Tiktoker as kids, as if it’s an app only used by infantile adults.
This is the epitome of his administration.
I’d say trying to take a victory lap for a Gaza ceasefire a couple days before leaving office, when he’s been the one sending all the $17 billion of bombs and missiles that are being fired at Gazan kids in the first place, takes the top spot.
This is also stupid, ineffective, and incompetent, but with a significantly lower body count.
All of this continues to make the political class look like a bunch of absolute dipshits who have no clue what they’re doing.
That last line is 🤌
Trump has expressed a keen interest in being seen as rescuing a platform on which he’s been told he’s widely admired…
Whoever did this is a fucking genius. They love you on TikTok, you gotta save them!
Meanwhile on TikTok, another update of old labor movement songs.
He actually does have a large following on Tiktok. There’s Republicantok, but you won’t see it if you’re not a Republican or leaning that way.
Fuck, Joe, you doddering old war criminal, you should double down and ban Facebook and X while you’re at it. I know it’s not as fun as sponsoring state terrorism, but at least it makes the kids cry.
And one more time on the way out, the Democrats fuck themselves. Biden should have let it stand and blame it on the Rs.
They don’t want Trump to get the credit for overturning the ban. So. Ow they are trying to rush it so that Biden can try to take credit.
It is political, every other Democrat doesn’t want to be punished by voters for being the party that banned tik tok.
What difference does that make exactly? Everybody hates the guy, literally every American is ready for him to fuck off.
This his honestly a hilarious article. I can’t believe the state of leadership in the US these days.
It really is reaching tragicomedic levels.
I can’t believe the state of leadership in the US these days.
Our representatives are a reflection of our voters.
“But money determines our representatives.”
Yeah, because we suck at maintaining a democracy and slowly allowed that reality to come to pass. If we voted more intelligently we’d have more intelligent representatives and money wouldn’t have the influence it does. Other countries have better, more intelligent representatives. We just suck.
I’m not convinced having a specific ruling targeting just tiktok would be a good move. I think I understand and side with all the reasons they are doing it: be it privacy, security and more. But they should not uniquely apply to tiktok, but to all apps. If suddenly there’s a Russian app, or a Nigerian app or a swiss app, any which for whatever reasons has security and privacy concerns, they should all be held to the same standards. Me no like double standards.
It’s never been about data, it’s an awakening of class conscientiousness from people that threatens their existence and power. Now that people can see the lies we’ve always been told about China via RedNote we believe them even less.
There’s plenty of american companies willing to sell sensitive data to anyone with money to buy. We need an overhaul of data privacy and all this focus on singular companies is missing the forest for the trees.
Basically the plan was just to force bytedance to sell the app and the ban was just to make pressure to achieve that goal
And they said they will not sale it so fucking stupid. Biden could just left alone, but now he wants to do something? How about stop fascist from taking over the government.
He has spent 50 year paving the road for our current state of Fascism, he’s not gonna stop now
How about stop fascist from taking over the government.
He can’t. The majority of voting Americans want it and voted for it.
Exactly. What do you want him to do? Attempt a coup to stay in power? Americans voted for this and nobody is coming to save you.
Supreme Court gave him immunity, hell he fucking old as shit. He could kill the lot of them, we build moments in his honor if he took that one act and sava America.
Yeah, I’m sure if Biden had Trump and company murdered, the majority of Americans that voted for Trump and company would be totally fine with that and build “moments” in honor of Biden, who they see as their enemy.
Are you high?
I wouldn’t care if I was him. In fact I would also ban yeeting and skibaldi toilet while dabbing to the Harlem shakes
What am absolute shitshow and the new dipshit isn’t even sworn in yet

TikTok ban is a political move. TikTok sends a message to China and protects Israel in one swoop. It has nothing to do with security or privacy of the American people. Biden thought TikTok was disposable collateral. They provided not one ounce of evidence that TikTok is used by the CCP to collect information on Americans. Much less the logic or evidence as to the value to the Chinese having American data when they got 1.4 billion people of their own. You need to learn politics. Biden got cold feet because he is worried about his legacy.
His legacy is already set. He will forever be remembered as a clueless man whos actions in office contridicted himself at many points.
Should have Bernie instead.
