But maybe they did something unconstitutional?

Supreme Court takes up challenge to TikTok ban

The Supreme Court announced it will take up whether a law that could ban TikTok nationwide violates the First Amendment, setting the stage for a fast-paced, high-stakes battle over free speech.

In an order issued Wednesday, the court said it will hold oral arguments Jan. 10 regarding the video sharing platform’s bid to invalidate the law requiring it to divest from its Chinese parent company or face a ban.

Trump vowed to “save TikTok” during the campaign and has expressed sympathy with the platform. However, the president-elect has offered few concrete details about his plans to protect the app.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew also met with the president-elect at his Palm Beach resort on Monday.

Only those unwilling to see the evidence about Joe's corruption have not acknowledged it.
No.
I think the scale is the issue.


And, of course, the evidence presented has not been strong...nor has it been presented in an impartial court to judge its veracity.

Joe Biden is still the most corrupt president the USA has ever had. There has been ample evidence put forth about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and the Biden crime family in my opinion. The Democratic Party and the Biden family have had their corruption covered up, and excused, and dismissed by the corrupt liberal mainstream media.

In thirsting for likes on Social Media, Donald Trump has demonstrated that Social media has become more important and more influential to millions of people as compared to mainstream media. Kamala Harris and the rest of most of the politicians also understand how influential Social media is.

Sure. Just like the hawk tuah girl. He is on par with her.
And actually on par with Barak who knew ita importance back in 2012.
Was this bsome kind of groundbreaking insight for anyone?

Kamala Harris and the rest of most of the politicians also understand how influential Social media is.
I'm not saying it's not important. I'm saying its pathetic to thirst after it so hard.

The quoted post is pure, fantastical, delusion. One of the primary claims of Biden's "corruption" was the claim that they were getting $5 million in bribes. This was all a lie. The guy who said plead guilty to lying to the FBI about it all. It was all made up. It didn't happen. The "investigation" with the 10 whatever form was shown to have been perpetrated by Giuliani. He's the one that filled out the form. His "witness" turned out to be a woman who died 2 years before Hunter was ever hired by Burisma. The committee's "star witness" stated explicitly that he never heard Joe Biden talk about Hunter Biden's business. They talked about the weather and family.

Everything you are basing your hyperbolic assessment of Biden on was false. You were lied to.

Your examples did nothing to refute all the many other pieces of evidence for the corruption in the Biden family.

Joe took the train home on weekends to Delaware for thirty years because he was playing the long con. Uh-huh.

You and I live in different realities. The examples were the refutation, because those are all the things cited by you and others as proof of the "corruption of the Biden family" and it was all lies. Believe what you want. I just laugh.

1. You put forward a opinion with no evidence. Literally 0.
2. A poster broke down how each piece of evidence about the corruption wass, itself, corrupted and illegitimate.
3. You repeat your first hypothesis....
*almost verbatim to your first post.
*with no NEW evidence to support your argument.
*without addressing, LET ALONE DISCREDITING actual evidence provided to support a point.

So you can say your argument is not fantasy. But without providing an evidenced based rebuttal against some basic facts that completely undermine your argument, your opinion is nothing more than that.


All of this while Trump has been CONVICTED IN COURT, of impropriety.

Its like he's not even ashamed to have no principles other than raw self interest.

Trump asks Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban so he can decide app’s future

The president-elect said that pushing back a potential ban on the app would give him a chance to negotiate a way to ‘save the platform.’

Trump’s intervention follows his campaign promises to keep the popular social media app accessible to its more than 170 million U.S. users if he won. His brief was filed as a friend-of-the-court, not siding with either party to the case.

The Washington Post previously reported that advisers to the president-elect expected him to intervene on TikTok’s behalf if necessary, despite Trump previously attempting to ban TikTok himself, citing national security concerns about its Chinese ownership.

Trump’s new stance on TikTok puts him at odds with senior Republicans who supported that law, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Kentucky) and Sen. Marco Rubio (Florida), Trump’s pick for secretary of state. “We must ban this potential spyware before it is too late,” Rubio wrote in a 2022 op-ed in The Post.
