I actually opposed the law banning TikTok. But once passed into law, and challenged at the Supreme Court, it should be treated as the law, not a plaything for the President to use to reward or punish whoever he wants.[image or embed]

"Congress passed a law, the President signed it, the Supreme Court upheld it ... and now everyone is simply pretending that all didn't happen"

When it becomes clear that the courts have been neutered and the gloves are off and there is really is no law in America anymore than the Real Purge can finally begin!

The article seems to miss the poijt, as if the strategy is to simply ignore Congress's law. Everybody knows what is going on. Quietly, behind the scenes, Trump and the tech bro kings are working out which one will own and profit from the TikTok sale. In the meantime they all kneel at his feet. Well played.
