Saw someone joke that if companies really did need more masculine energy that it would be really bad news for Zuck

Obligatory fuck Pence but I like any event that makes RFK less likely to be confirmed because he's seemingly the most palatable by political standards of the Crony Crew so if we can stop him we can stop anyone.
They must have learned that from the banks. Same playbook, all platitudes designed to not even take effect until the current leadership has bailed on the company with massive golden parachutes.
It sad really, I visited a friend there and theres some really good people there trying to change things politically but constantly the govenrment or the courts change the bar to defeat their efforts. They need someone to do whatever Ben Wikler did to pull Wisconsin away from its anti representative and gerrymandering efforrs.
Yeah as far as I know China still buys data from the US and I don't think anyone is trying to stop that, I'm not sure how much differnt the data they collect themselves would be. Banning it from government devices was definetly warranted, but I still dont know how the US would enforce the civilian ban if Tiktok didn't voluntarily shut down the service as they plan to on the 19th. Also in the court case the US shared sercret evidence neither the public nor tiktoks attorney's were allowed to see. I'm not keen on trusting evidence they intentionally hide when they still allow our data to end up in China anyway.

The ban that Trump tried fell apart, the current pending ban didnt even start being discussed until March 2024, before then any threat of ban was gone. Sure he tried but none of the current legislation is due to Trump. This one came years after he left office.
Stake another election on that and they'll reap what they sew.
You'd think a guy like that would understand how theives work more. Perhaps the disconnect comes from him not thinking he is one.
Considering Musk is a tech Baron, kind of. "Tech baron leaks DMs of user on tech platform he owns." Just doesn't have the same click bait factor. Social media remains to be technology, you can probably find a more exclusive tech sub where it's banned, but under the massive tech umbrella it's likely the most universally understood modern technology.
Thats what I mean about the optics. We should know by now more than most are low information voters. They're going to remember a Biden WH pushing the ban and a Trump WH saving their favorite app. Even independent of Trumps rhetoric that's going to be the take away by many.
More shitty optics for Democrats imo. A poorly thought out ban that some question if it could even be enforced over something the younger generation loves is now posed to be reversed by Trump. This costs the party youth voters, probably another case of Dems taking a demographic for granted. In 2 years the dems will wonder why the youth vote didnt save them at midterms and all but their most stalwart apologists will laugh at them.
edit: Schumer agrees
Funny how when you rob or even kill people with a spreadsheet, it just doesn't count.
