Summary

Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance suggests the Supreme Court may reject Donald Trump’s recent legal filing supporting TikTok amid an upcoming U.S. ban.

Trump’s brief emphasizes his own use of TikTok, claiming it as a vital platform for political expression.

Legal expert Vance criticized the filing as self-serving and noted Trump’s representation by John Sauer, his former Solicitor General nominee.

The case concerns whether U.S. companies can continue hosting TikTok after the ban, but Vance doubts the Court will entertain what she describes as a “kleptocratic” move.

    You’re not speaking to the macro level events that lead to the civil war, just the specifics. Also you were the one who brought up the American Civil War.

    You’re ignoring my larger points of the possibility of potemkin elections or Trump getting a third term.

    You don’t seem to be arguing in good faith as you’re not addressing the thrust of my argument. Which is, Trump is likely to interfere with upcoming elections.

      My point of bringing up the civil war was saying shits obviously been a lot worse.

      If I didn’t address your points, then I apologize and have no idea what point you’re trying to make.

      That happens sometimes.

      You can choose to try and elaborate and see if you can clarify…

      Or wildly accuse people

      You don’t seem to be arguing in good faith as you’re not addressing the thrust of my argument. Which is, Trump is likely to interfere with upcoming elections.

      Because they couldn’t understand what you’re trying to communicate.

      I don’t see what’s hard to understand about that. Stop getting hung up on who’s fault a misunderstanding is, and either try to clarify or just accept it’s not working on move on.

      Why do you want to start throwing out insults because there’s a misunderstanding?

      At this point that’s all I’m trying to understand, because it keeps happening. And I don’t think it’s a coincidence it started happening after the new owners of CNN said Faux News was their inspiration and they wanted to make their viewers more like Faux’s.

      Ever since people seem more eager to turn misunderstandings from a discussion to a slap fight.

      I have no interest in that.

        At no point have I insulted you and it’s strange that you are now so defensive and also accuse me of making this into a “slap fight”.

        Not to be dismissive but you have a comment history of being aggressively contrarian and I have no further interest in your viewpoint as it’s not productive.
