This week, The House of Representatives pushed through a vote of shutting down TikTok, the world’s most-used social media platform. The Senate will now decide if this is ‘necessary for national security’ as we have been told (don’t believe them) and then hold their own vote. Joe Biden has said he would sign such a bill if Congress passed it.
“In 2020, the United States government announced that it was considering banning the Chinese social media platform TikTok upon a request from then-president Donald Trump, who viewed the app as a national security threat.”
Today, Trump lies and says he doesn’t want to ban TikTok: it is obvious to at least THIS political observer that someone has given/offered Trump piles of cash to now support TikTok after his very public statements in 2020 about shutting it down.
Trump does nothing for anyone that doesn’t involve him being paid.
If the crazy Congress gets it’s way and passes this bill, and Joe Biden signs it, will this make Americans happy?
According to multiple media reports, millions of TikTok users are very worried about the social media app being shut down by our government: Free Speech, they say, is on the line.
And who will get blamed if TikTok does get shut down? Who will get the brunt of that anger—at the polls in November?
You guessed it: Joe Biden.
Americans, rich in their ignorance, will vote against the man who signed the bill into law, who took away their favorite app, Joe Biden, already bleeding votes over the mess in Gaza created by another right-wing murderer Benjamin Netanyahu. Biden will pay dearly for following the Republican lead on banning TikTok.
And who benefits?
Donald Trump.
While Americans get angry over losing TikTok, and vote for Traitor Trump, this is what they will get as a reward. Social media, as they know it, will end.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock the past 8 years, Donald Trump is a vain, thin-skinned cretin who wants to rape women, defraud businesses, cheat on his taxes, and lie about deadly contagions, and so much more.
Trump will waste no time shutting down all social media apps that criticize him: Facebook, Instagram, X—you name it, there will be no criticism of Trump that will survive a second Trump term. He will shut it down, sanction it, or toss the owners in prison.
Welcome to Trump’s America.
As for shutting down TikTok, I only know what I hear: that it is a national security threat, and I also know this:
I don’t believe anything our government says until I see lots and lots of clear evidence to support it. Like AFTER people starting dying from COVID-19, I believed it was a dangerous virus, and listened for further instruction. I have not seen one scintilla of evidence that the People’s Republic of China is spying on Americans.
So there’s that.
For the record, I don’t use TikTok, and I think we need a whole helluva lot more data before we take such a radical step, especially in an election year. Because if the GOP wants it shut down while Trump is supporting it…
I smell a rat.
Anytime the Republicans want something done—actually VOTE to pass something in the ‘greatest do nothing Congress of all time,’—the same Congress that shut down their own border bill, you better think twice. Or thrice.
Trump and his Clown Posse are behind this, and we better pay attention.
And if you like or are enjoying social media today, including Substack—where I‘m posting this—remember in November that a vote for Trump makes all this go away.
A vote for Biden keeps our freedoms intact. I only hope I can somehow get this message to Mr. Biden for his consideration.
Can you help me America? Can you help get this message to our President, the message that Trump—and not the PRC—is the national security threat we need to be concerned about here?
While China is a concern, no one from the Red Party has yet ordered the storming of our Capitol, and I for one believe in fighting the enemy that is here right in front of me—Donald Trump and his MAGA morons.
