    Now with his own GeStaPo with a budget bigger than most of the worlds militaries, he can finally eradicate any opposition with ease. Well done, American voters, you got yourself a Führer.

    Don’t owrry, he’ll file a spurious lawsuit against them soon, which they will immediately settle, in a totally-not-legalized-bribe means of smoothing over the upset.

      It’s worked for ABC and CBS, why not CNN? Just threaten to pull their broadcast licenses, and accept a settlement bribe.

      I suspect CNN won’t be the last.

      My entire damned family voted for it… even my closest sibling who had never voted republican in her life… that other side indoctrinated hard… I’m so disgusted, and she even said “I’m so sad ice picked up one of my favorite co-workers!” “And you voted for that” apparently wasn’t the comfort she was seeking.

        Even if we can finally purge MAGA from our government, and even have it declared a terrorist/hate organization, how do we deal with millions of brainwashed idiots? They aren’t going to change their minds easily, and accept that they were conned.

        They were conned once, they can be easily conned again.

            It IS a drug - Dopamine - and they are addicted to it. The Conservative Propaganda Machine knows it, and feeds it, giving them constant hits of Dopamine all day.

    It’s about this app: https://www.iceblock.app/. Download it, use it.

    Why TF has this topic been around for hours and has no one posted this? Why is the drama again made more important than the substance? Don’t let the hysteria win.

      Download it, use it.

      It is apparently restricted to US iTunes accounts only, for some brainless reason. So a lot of people who could potentially benefit from it simply can’t.

        The website offers an explanation as to why there is no Android version. Basically it’s because Android would require them to maintain a database of Android users, which is a security issue if it gets confiscated by the government. They call those privacy concerns “non-negotiable,” and suggest Android users but a cheap old iPhone model to use the app.

          Even with an iPhone it is inaccessible without a US account.

        The fact it’s not available on f-droid makes me think it’s a honeypot.

        Apple only, no website, is suspect af for an app that requires maximum privacy.

    How does this make any sense?

    Shouldn’t they be suing Apple to take it down if they don’t like it? I know they just want to weaken press, but it feels like an especially weak excuse.

        Well, exactly. Trump apparently has a line to Apple and could probably get Tim to take it down.

        Eh. Trump is publicly weighing the idea of deporting Musk. He’ll turn on anyone, no matter the previous displays of loyalty.

        This does seem aimed at CNN, in particular, imho.

            I’m not sure what started it exactly, but yes, those two had a big public falling out. During which, Elon criticized the budget bill.
