Alone the fact that a politician (let alone the president) picks who will take ownership of the most influential social network should raise major red flags…
I am so tired of the constant sane washing of all these fucked up developments.

This has been going on for years where do you think some of these laws like anti-trust comes from? They still do it behind closed doors like grocery store price fixing or greedflation under an excuse like covid despite them having the highest revenues.
In a Fox News interview, Trump said he had a group of "very wealthy people" willing to acquire the platform. "I'll tell you in about two weeks," he teased.
Two weeks is his standard bullshit timeline for when he doesn't want to admit he's got nothing
He thinks the memory horizon of the average person is 10 days, because his is 14 days.
Either that or he's about to attack Iran in three days?
Or maybe he bombs Bejing for shits and giggles.
Hush! Our timeline is interesting enough!
Last time he left Daddy Putin a message, he didn't call back. But then Daddy Netanyahu called, and he said that he didn't think Trump had the balls to bomb Iran. That's why it took less than 2 weeks.
My money is on some far right billionaire asshole who will give it the Twitter treatment and make it a Nazi haven that that pushes Reich wing content on people...
You're gonna have to be more specific.
It will probably be renamed to XikXok ;)
Mhm, I immediately thought: there goes the neighborhood!
$50 says they're not Americans.
He probably doesn't because he just wants to show he's doing something to his base, and when no one wants to buy it, hell just push the deadline further down
The enshittification is overwhelming.
