Does anyone find it funny that Trump is taking office promising not to enforce the law?

Tik Tok is back online basically because Trump promised not to enforce the law that congress just passed in a bipartisan fashion.

Given that the reasoning for all of this was because it's a national security threat for China to have that information, by that logic I guess that means Trump wants to help China.

Personally I don't buy into that logic, I kind of think we could have just fixed this with a data privacy law and find it odd that we're trying to ban tik tok for doing what American companies already do. But other than my concerns about this chilling free speech, the law is the law it was passed in a bipartisan manner with the SCOTUS unanimously upholding the law. But Trump decided he's not going to enforce that law. So I guess he's on the side of Xi.

It sounds a lot like TDS.

No, it's a fact. Trump promised not to enforce the law.

Letting the executive decide which laws to enforce has been something we've done for a long time in this country. So in that sense it's hardly new.

However given how upset the conservatives get about other people "not enforcing the law" it is notable their hypocrisy.

But it's factually accurate that he promised an EO to the justice department to at least temporarily not enforce the law.

Quite frankly maybe it would be a good thing if executive orders both at the federal and state level which tell justice departments not to enforce certain laws were abolished and made illegal.

If one has to pick a law to ignore this seems better than ignoring all immigration laws.

Petty little guy you are......

Trump is giving a slight extension to get into compliance (or rather, bought)

Biden just unilaterally declared a new ammendment to the constitution and pardoned a bunch of crooks in comparison.

You're an idiot/in a cult.

Because Trump is their God. Trump changed his mind so all the Republicans changed their minds.

Now Tik Tok is great.

Morning Joke just posted a poll that said 1/3 of democrats and 1/3 of independents supported deporting all illegal immigrants. That more than likely decided the election.
With immigration czar Tom Homan already walking back their plans this will probably be just one more broken campaign promise.

I just heard on whatever DC morning station I'm picking up that the TikTok CEO was in church with Trump this morning along with every other tech CEO that Trump is taking donations from
