TikTok restores service for US users based on Trump's promised executive order

Trump announced the decision in a post on his Truth Social account on Sunday as millions of TikTok users in the U.S. awoke to discover they could no longer access the TikTok app or platform.

The Dem's letting Trump look like the savior of TikTok when he was the first person to start demanding it be banned is yet another amazing own goal. They keep doing shit that makes them look old and out of touch and discredits them with voting bases.

I'm not saying that there aren't good reasons to be concerned about TikTok but they did a terrible job of explaining it, and I think the same reasons apply to all social media companies. I'm no more concerned about China owning a social media company than I am Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg. They all have agendas that are harmful to democracy and mental health.

How do you know they're a good billionaire? Because they give money to the dems!

It's crazy how fucked we are. It won't be worse than last time but at the same time, we have one party who believes in nothing but crazy shit and the other party believes in nothing at all. I wonder what it would be like to be like a Democratic party elected official and not give a shit about anything.

I also shoulda emptied my entire savings account to get Trump coins on launch and then dumped them a few hours later to some loser for a shitload of money. I will be thinking about this for a long time tbh.

Sec. 3. Recognizing Women Are Biologically Distinct From Men.
...
(c) When administering or enforcing sex-based distinctions, every agency and all Federal employees acting in an official capacity on behalf of their agency shall use the term “sex” and not “gender” in all applicable Federal policies and documents.

Trump accidentally acknowledges that sex and gender are different.

Everything I saw in my youth said this would happen one day. I stupidly said "no way," and now this. The American Id has run fully wild and I'm so glad I live in WA now.

 

[Valeyard]

I cannot stress enough that you're in the part of WA that is an anomaly.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Guess what, if you're an old fuck like me who still uses Facebook, apparently a number of accounts are automatically following Trump and Vance with no option to unfollow. Apparently this applied to IG as well. Swell.

 

[Valeyard]

See that didn't happen to me and I'm afraid it means doom, like not getting raptured.

And I cannot stress enough that you don't need to keep telling me this. My Trans half-sister and her husband are fleeing Spokane for another country.

You used the shitty state as a blanket statement. The liberal bubble claims people.

‘Who voted for this?’: Trump admin obstructs cancer research funding

"As of today, it looks as though Donald Trump is in the process of freezing federally-funded cancer research in the United States," says Chris Hayes.

- JFK files to be released (Excellent news to me, but Trump may use it as an excuse to further purge "The Deep State" and put in loyalists)

- Trump tells Hannity:
: "Zelenskyy, I will say, he wants to settle now. He's had enough. He shouldn't have allowed this to happen either. He's no angel. He shouldn't have allowed this war to happen."
