Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I wonder how much of this is him realizing that there's nothing he can do to save TikTok...
Lmao is Trump negging them.
Glad someone else sees this for what it is.
What a capricious shit.
The stick part of the carrot and stick.
Musk supported Trump so Trump would give tiktok to him. Tiktok would rather go out of business then sell.
I guess they won't sell to Musk.
After the pump, comes the dump.
Lol..
After it filled up with pro-trump propaganda and started blocking hashtags based on who Trump hates, I went back to Rednote for now until our "free" nation bans that to maintain the capitalist oligarch narrative on major social media. We can talk about Luigi there.
I'd rather be propagandized by them than Zuck and Elon and Bezos and Donnie. Their people actually seem to believe they owe one another basic decency and courtesy. It's refreshing.
"Herp derp genocide!"
When there's a non distributed, aka popular and populated, social network that isn't the product and propaganda tool of a genocidal nation, I'll defect to that, but I haven't heard anything about a civilized, admirable nation like Norway launching a competitor.
Give Loops a try.
