Yeah, but didn't he recently meet with the owners of tick tock? I'm sure some money greased his slimy brain

YASS he sure did meet with one of the owners

Jeffrey Yass, it was Jeffrey Yass, some billionaire investor who just so happened to be a big campaign donor

Seems to me that the supreme court shouldnt be able to be “urged” to rule the wants of an executive

Have you not been paying attention? They’re just an old and shitty theatre troupe performing the whims of the highest bidder.

Just one more thing that American voters simply do not care about.

Way too late for that lol

Wouldn't that make him pro-China?

He’s pro-money and power. Initially, he indicated that he would let the ban pass. Then, TikTok execs went to Mar-a-lago and he has changed his tune. What changed? Probably they bribed him.

Given tiktok isnt a Chinese company by any possible definition that doesn't label all Asians as Chinese, no not really.

That is the strangest way of saying "Yes they are Chinese" I've ever seen.

You're telling me that Bytedance Ltd, headquartered in Beijing, founded and partially owned by two Chinese people, is not a Chinese company?

Omg are you being forced at gunpoint to lie?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Never said the Chinese government owned it.

Weird to see trump and the ACLU on the same side for a change.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

ACLU is against it due to principals of freedom of speech not that TikTok is some worthwhile company.

Trump is against it because he wants a big bribe for them to continue to operate. He has always been a blackmail king so this is right up his alley.

It's like RFK trying to ban medical commercials. I agree with him under this one circumstance, but for entirely different reasons lol.
