"TikTok’s future in the U.S. is still up in the air.

After TikTok came back online, some Republicans appeared to contradict Trump on how things might play out. House Speaker Mike, R-La., Johnson told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday, "I think we will enforce the law,” adding, "When President Trump issued the Truth [Social] post and said, ‘Save TikTok,’ the way we read that is that he’s going to try to force along a true divestiture, changing of hands, the ownership.”

Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., also issued a statement celebrating the ban, and saying they don't see a basis for an extension like Trump has proposed.

"Now that the law has taken effect, there’s no legal basis for any kind of ‘extension’ of its effective date. For TikTok to come back online in the future, ByteDance must agree to a sale that satisfies the law’s qualified-divestiture requirements by severing all ties between TikTok and Communist China,” the statement said in part.


Even if TikTok is given an extension, as Trump has vowed to do in an executive order Monday, the law still forces ByteDance to eventually sell it to a non-Chinese owner — which the parent company has shown no interest in doing."

You agree with his ignoring a Supreme Court decision?
I mean, I agree with his sentiments.

Also, I don't give a damn what this dominionist piece of shit SCOTUS has to say about anything at all.

I'm not suddenly a Trump fan, and I'm still going to make fun of him, but he's not wrong about this particular issue.

Of course he is wrong. You can agree with it, but he is ignoring a Supreme Court ruling.

The concern is that if people are going to agree with him ignoring the Supreme Court, where does it stop?

But it's Trumps SCOTUS!! They will just find another 'originalism' argument to reverse their previous decision once Trump explains that he can make $millions if they do that for him. Maybe C Thomas needs a new RV or something.

It's kind of funny, Roberts just issued a statement warning about ignoring their decisions, and here is Trump doing it day one.
 
Putin-MAGA-Trump are where they are because the 1A is what it is. The 1A has become a suicide clause for the United States of America. It has enabled TrumpMerica and MagaMerica to emerge and now to become dominant as who and what they are. Trump-MAGA have exploited democracy to destroy democracy at every turn and they have the 1A as it is to thank for it. This Trump and TicToc business are about and for Trump only, exclusively and always. Indeed, anyone who supports Trump in this TicToc business of the CCP has been had by the 1A as it is and that as it is continues to be a suicide pact against democracy.

Very.

Wait till Trump hears about this on His Day One by the uppity Roberts. Fool that Roberts is of course.

The CJ is going to have to report to Trump in the WH to kiss that thing Trump puts in front of 'em that they all have to kiss.

All will be well again. Trump will order the SC to take six month annual vacations each six months in succession. Enjoy their $250,000 gift RVs. Nothing to be concerned about any more.

He is always wrong. It's just that this time I agree with him.

I have absolutely zero respect for this SCOTUS. And after the 13th, I don't give a shit if nobody listens to them.

Yeah, they're so crooked they have to thread their pants on every morning.

I wonder if Musk and Zuck had any part in this ban.

It serves as a check on the presidency. Albeit a weak one, but a check nevertheless. With someone like Trump, God knows where this could lead.

All he's done is promise to extend it 90 days so the businessmen who have made offers to purchase Tik Tok may be able to secure a deal. Problem? Biden were he not an ass, could have done the same and made the process truly bipartisan. The deal may not work, but millions of Americans are hoping it will. On the other hand as usual the left just wants to bigch aboujtr something.

I don't think the Court's decision stipulated that their decision could be delayed.
 
trump signed an executive order that the Supreme Court should kiss his posterior; the court upheld the order 6-3 and kissed. Thomas and Alito wrote a concurring decision saying they should kiss more.
 
Of course he is wrong. You can agree with it, but he is ignoring a Supreme Court ruling.

You'll never get Trumpers to agree that Trump is wrong.
