Am I reading this wrong or is he really pulling a move of "I don't want this stupid toy anymore anyway" ?

I legitimately didn't understand the motivation behind this tweet so I read a lot of the replies from his supporters. They think it's genius because apparently the Chinese keeping it makes them more guilty then if they give it back, and then Trump can use that as leverage in future negotiations.

People buying computers in South Carolina would be limited in their access to porn online under newly proposed legislation.

A bill pre-filed this month by state Rep. Bill Chumley would require sellers to install digital blocking capabilities on computers and other devices that access the internet to prevent the viewing of obscene content.

The proposal also would prohibit access to any online hub that facilities prostitution and would require manufacturers or sellers to block any websites that facilitate trafficking.

The proposal also would prohibit access to any online hub that facilities prostitution and would require manufacturers or sellers to block any websites that facilitate trafficking.

Both sellers and buyers could get around the limitation, for a fee. The bill would fine manufacturers that sell a device without the blocking system, but they could opt out by paying $20 per device sold. Buyers could also verify their age and pay $20 to remove the filter.

Money collected would go toward the Attorney General Office’s human trafficking task force.

Chumley’s bill has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

I normally don't like posting bill proposals as news, but government-sponsored ransomware is a hilarious concept.

hahaha

Though AFAIK a lot of those Bernie votes didn't happen and they fell in line with Trump. I haven't followed this "actual election" because it's pretty much a done deal.

PoliGAF certainly is something else right now. So many demanded the electors go faithless. So they do, just not in the direction that was expected, and now it's "How dare they go faithless! Fine them! Arrest them!"

Can't make this shit up.

The paradigm shift to him is go back to post 9/11 mentality without mentioniong war, so basically racial profiling and pretending that terrorist are coming from Mexico or X middle eastern country in the middle of a war. So the usual business.

I guess maybe some direct proof that he's literally a fascist sociopath might push some people over, but it's still pretty obvious to me from what he says, does, and who he associates with that that is what he is.

Is there any chance that it was a set up? Like Justin Trudeau's quantum computing question a few months ago?
