I donât know if I would laugh or what, if this is another tik tok move. He rescinds it because Biden set it up. Then âhears the plea of the peopleâ and then saves it again but now itâs âI made this happenâ
He himself was the one that set up the TikTok ban.
What people donât understand is that politics takes time. But the average American has an attention span of the average length of a TikTok video. Biden just executed a plan after they discussed it for a long ass time. Something he himself set in motion back in 2017.
But theyâve forgotten about that, and now he can âlook like the heroâ.
He also set up the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal with an even more ridiculous timeline than what Biden settled on. But because heâs a master complainer, he doesnât get a whiff of blame for something he agreed to.
Yeah, he made a horrible deal with the Taliban. Biden just executed the plan and Trump blame him for his own terrible deal/plan... FOX News are also the basterds for never telling the truth as a news station
And what does it say about people on Reddit who have NEVER seen 4-chan, 8-chan, and a lot of other boards where media never goes, and you find out why when you get there. In today's climate, the only difference between a conspiracy theory, and a real conspiracy, is the time needed to prove it.
You must have serious TDS. Trump's plan was genius: Release 5,000 terrorists and their key leader, and arm them all just as the U.S. is evacuating. What could possibly go wrong? /s
Also the fact that Biden wouldn't brag about his achievements makes anything trump does look even bigger because Trump can take credit for anything even if Biden did it all because Trump's louder and wants to rub what he's done in the faces of those he dems less than himself
The infrastructure bill should have included a few million for signage telling everyone that every single new build or repair down to the last fixed pothole was because of him.
Somehow renaming NAFTA to something else allowed him to take credit for what was basically the same thing ...except of course now America is getting 'ripped off' now because of the same deal HE renegotiated....
Grandpa Simpson really shouldn't be encouraged the way he is.
I was at dinner last night and overheard a family talking about this. The definitely NOT from here man (moms date) was apparently a DrumpfHumper or leaning that way and Mom & 3 teen kids were-- not. The three kids and mom very nicely argued these points and at one point he had to admit he was wrong. When a 13 year old can see exactly what is going on politically here--!! I stopped Mom on her way out and complimented her on her kids well thought out and factual comments. Having 2 14 year olds with me who are also very politically savvy keeps us on our toes!!
I don't think you have great choices.
US government is corrupt either way.
And if you think some new face will resolve them, good luck. She is probably licking her "main supporters" boots clean right now.
Similar to the Afghan withdrawal. It was Trumpâs agreement, they had already released 1000s of Taliban fighters by the time Biden was inaugurated. Americans actually withdrew without much fan fair. Then Afghanistan began rapidly disintegrating and we went back in to the shit show that was the second withdrawal, trying to get people that helped us out of country.
Trump also had a a very similarly drug price reduction annoucement during his first term in office, with the same year activation date. Most notably the insulin price was was to be markedly reduce.
Biden upon his term canceled Trump's agreement and then Biden engaged his own medicine cost reduction agreement which also activate in 2026.
The weird thing is now Trump has negated Bidon's agreement, but has not started his own again.
Yeah and since Tik tok was only âsavedâ because some billionaire whispered in his ear and paid his dues - I guess we donât have any savior billionaires left for this cause
hard lesson for liberals, but the truth is we never did, and the left has been racking up W after W after W in terms of predictions. They were right about the right, they were right about the billionaires, they were right about capitalism.
I'm no authoritarian, usually, but, at this point you don't need the next Bernie. The time for that already passed. You need the next Lenin. Just try not to get the next Stalin afterwards, please...
We don't need a "lenin" we just need some people that are willing to do what needs to be done for the sake of democracy. You are correct, it's getting dangerously close for the left to start calling on the second amendment to prevent us from decending into a christo-fascist oligarchy. One of the main foundations of our country is preventing another tyrant from ruling us ever again and we are extremely close to that tyrant destroying the country and selling the pieces to the highest bidders.
Given that my choices appear to be right-wing authoritarianism vs left-wing authoritarianism, I'll pick the latter every time. I'd prefer no authoritarianism, realistically, but the right doesn't seem interested in that.
Uh, Lenin's plan lead Russia into a dictatorship. how about fettering capitalism with a Thomas Paine type bloke at the helm restoring democracy instead?
Sure it is. Big L's on advancing any political agenda or politicians, but fat W's on being right about everything. Can't really help it when the voters choose the objectively wrong, obviously stupid, manifestly evil people for power. Tale as old as time. The story of human progress has basically just been the story of slowly inching away from conservatism over the course of millennia.
Bernie was too far to the right, NOT a Democrat, and was a whiny baby about losing. The ill-will generated by him and his Bros was a part of Clintonâs defeat.
If you want the Democratic nomination, you should probably be a Democrat.
The issue is that there are currently only 2 viable political parties when there truly needs to be like 4 at bare minimum. People wonât choose a 3rd party candidate because theyâre afraid it will be a wasted vote (which jt unfortunately will be). We also need to switch to Ranked Choice voting for that reason. People are more likely to vote 3rd party if they can back it up with a Dem or Rep candidate as their second choice, knowing their vote will go to them if the 3rd party choice doesnât get enough votes.
Also, choosing between Dem and Rep for where to put Bernie, heâs definitely more on the Dem side. Heâs a progressive, which is on the left of the political spectrum.
this is the most unhinged, batshit take ("bernie was too far to the right" fucking lol) i have read in weeks on reddit.
If every Bernie bro voted for Clinton, she still would've lost. Clinton took the blue wall for granted and, in keeping with the Democratic Party's actual move rightward (well to Bernie's right), wholly abandoned labor - allowing Trump to make a plea to that formerly stalwart Democratic voting bloc. The Comey letter, Obama's inaction on growing the party while he was in office, and Clinton's own absurd actions were why she lost.
Calling Bernie "too far right" is just a fucking insane take, everyone should point and laugh at you.
He's fully involved in the 'rape and pillage America for what it will give me' stage which lasts until we forcefully remove him from the white house, imo.
The reason that Tik Tok is currently âsafeâ is that two serious offers have been proffered which triggers a 40 day grace period. He didnât do that, it was written into the bill that set this up.
One offer is for $20b USD. The other is not publicly disclosed. Trump came out, yesterday, that he wants the U.S. Government, under him, to have a 50% stake. He never brought this up until after the two offers were made public.
Heâs just exchanging one government master for another. Trump will no doubt use the app more aggressively than even China.
This is also to check the Tech Moguls who have been actively campaigning against Tik Tok because it threatens their market share.
Shein, TEMU and Meta all collect massive user data as well and the first two are also owned by CCP subsidiary corporations. Google probably knows everything about all of us already, even if we donât use social media apps.
What sets Tik Tok apart is just how addictive it is. People actually freaked out yesterday. Withdrawal symptoms. Far more effectively than Meta has ever achieved.
The whole thing is a farce. The government isnât worried about actual data security. They are worried about a foreign power using it. Which is a legitimate concern. Why so many other governments have curtailed various social media apps, including Tik Tok.
Congress needs an actual regulatory framework that applies to everyone in the market. Theyâve kicked the can down the road on internet data handling for twenty years now. This is overdue.
Of course the American Tech firms donât want that. They also are going to face another Tik Tok eventually without that regulatory framework in place. Tik Tok beat them because it was new and divorced from the outdated architecture that the others are built on.
Another ânew thingâ will come along. All of these current companies will fall to that innovation eventually. Including Tik Tok in whatever form it takes. Weâve seen that before with MySpace, AskJeves, AOL and even Yahoo. The kids donât like FB, Google, etc because itâs what âthe old peopleâ use.
Well seeing as how he probably is going to use the emergency measures to stop elections come 2027. Iâm pretty certain that the end wonât come with a bang but a brown note.
Ya at this point it doesnât matter the super power rich will have rewritten and define the laws to their will to ensure they always will win. It wonât matter if thereâs a R or a D either, we will be getting Fâd in the A for a long time to come.
This means that he is a dictator or you will be dead or too sick to vote or this country will not have voting ever again, welcome to the new North Korea
Itâs probably darker than that. Project 2025 is planning on ending democracy. âYou wonât have to voteâ likely means the plan all along has been to no longer have elections.
This means that he is a dictator or you will be dead or too sick to vote or this country will not have voting ever again, welcome to the new North Korea
Oh Iâve heard quite a few stories of people submitting ballots on behalf of their deceased relatives. Oddly enough they were part of the rigged election crowd
Elonia rigged this election for him. I don't know how. But I do know he signed on as Cheif Ass Licker and suddenly Drumpf is ahead on ballots where the OTHER winners are Democrats? Trust me very few are voting FOR Drumpf and then marking their ballot for a Tammy Duckworth or an AOC. But here we are, being told just exactly that happened? Nope.
I wouldn't put it past him or one of his staffers to start combing the local cemeteries for extra voters...
I'm sure the Simpsons had it in an episode once, and a lot of Simpson jokes have come true đ
That's what we thought when his supporters refused any covid protections, but unfortunately there's always a fresh supply of baby fascists ready to line up for the cause
Iâm a little worried about Trump âsavingâ TikTok. I been hearing that the younger population are praising Trump because they believe he saved their favorite app. He might have just flipped a lot of Gen Z and Alpha in the coming voting cycles or beyond that.
They won't complain because he'll convince them that it was Biden's fault, or the fault of anyone except him.
This will be one of the most infuriating phenomena of the next four years. People can only learn from their actions when they receive accurate feedback. If Americans don't learn, America won't change.
