Trump reverses stance on TikTok - where are USMB critics?

"The ruling class doesn't care about protecting Americans from ideological subversion, propaganda, "disinformation," or censorship. They want a monopoly over ideological subversion, propaganda, "disinformation," and censorship.
The Congress members who voted for this are either idiots, evil, or both."
Dr. Michael Rectenwald

I hear Steve Mnuchin wants to buy TikTok, anyone hears the same news???

I imagine they had somebody lined up before they ever submitted the bill.

You see iamwhatiseem? That is them. If any of them ever gives you a thumbs up or praise of any kind, reassess your stance. Don't want to be lumped into anything they say or think. Even if it sounds good, like Being against racism or concerns for the planet. They stand for nothing. They do nothing. Only want to know what the "in crowd" is thinking and where the "in crowd" is going.

They think going to protests and partying with the popular is the same thing as "doing something." That is all they care about and their biggest fear is to ever be saddled as a conservative or a true American or worse.....a Christian.


They're losers and all of them without exception are pieces of shit. Very rare when these contaminated souls are delivered from the demons that possess them. Only a miracle once fully contaminated and they all are.

So, when one of them or a group of them give you praise of any kind for whatever stance or point-of-view you express....you know the rest.

i make an effort to understand what you are saying, and i still need to make more effort.

Its important to understand the context, of thought-stopping clichés
"america first" is one of those cliches. There is a list there of 20 examples of those, and then 7 reasons of how they are used. Its important to recognize when the thought-stopping phrase is used, and then recognize the reason for it, and then the damage its causing. Use critical thinking skills to recover from it, then hopefully life will be better.

“The only good thing about government trying to ban #TikTok is that for millions of young people, their first experience with government will be seeing it wants to destroy the things they enjoy most. We stand against ALL forms of government censorship.”

“A deeply destructive and authoritarian attempt to suppress information, and to punish citizens for disagreeing with their government about #Palestine. The minute they lose control of the narrative, freedom of expression goes out the window.” Clare Daly on twitter

Thread summary:

After Trump filled his pockets with even more sweet Chinese cash, he did a one-eighty and decided that he loved TikTok.

I am enjoying the discomfort that's causing among Trump cultists. They can't decide what they love more, Trump or their conspiracy theories.

I hope the senate leaves this bill to die. It's mass hysteria calling for censorship, which is a bad thing. It's good enough to ban the app on goverment machines.

And, not being a moron, I can understand the consistency between not allowing the app on government machines in general, and having one press agent carefully using the app in a secure fashion.

So do you love TikTok and the Chinese now, as DearLeader and your ChinaMasters command?

Or are you remaining true to the original conspiracy theory?

Well. Well. Guess who likes some CCP money? Yep, Trump. So we had 2 or 3 threads on here about Biden and TikTok but I didn’t see the right get all juiced up on this. Biden just has an operative using it. Trump is an advocate for the CCP app. Holy shit.

Donald Trump Reverses Himself, Questions Ban On TikTok

The former president, who once threatened to ban the popular social media app himself, now says that doing so would only benefit competitors like Facebook.

www.huffpost.com

It’s not clear why Trump appeared to reconsider his position on banning TikTok. Some commentators noted he recently hosted GOP megadonor Jeff Yass, who is a billionaire investor in ByteDance, at his Mar-a-Lago club and sought his support in the presidential race.

Former President Donald Trump raised concerns over efforts to ban the social media app TikTok this week, appearing to walk back the position he held in 2020, when he threatened to ban the app himself.

“If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business,” the presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee wrote on his social media platform on Thursday, referring to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Trump said he didn’t want Facebook to “d[o] better,” calling the company “a true Enemy of the People.”

I'm right here.... Trump is wrong end of story. I heard one of his big donor owns billions in stocks with TikTok. That could possibly explain his reversal. Nevertheless I think the United States government did the right thing in identifying TikTok as a national safety risk. And once again Trump is just wrong about this.

I don't think it's a conspiracy theory I think there's a legitimate concern that TikTok is a data river straight back to the CCP. Any data they gather from here is certainly going to be used in the great thousand year chess game They are playing against our civilization.
