right. like, it might not do anything this very second but I imagine the suits at Riot, etc. aren't just sitting around joking about Trump's do-nothing order. you gotta distinguish between this sort of order, which invokes specific statutes and authorities delegating details TBA by the commerce secretary, with typical "oh it's nothing" EO that's just like "I hereby direct agency X to develop a plan to prioritize the promotion of religious freedom" or whatever.
It's an executive order that has already gone through all the motions to become official. This isn't a trump tweet we're talking about here. Trump's dumb but the white house legal team is extremely smart and they're not doing this without their ducks in a row.
Right. Every company that has any business with TenCent is screaming demands at their corporate lawyers right now, at 11:30pm, to get clarification on this ASAP. No one with actual stake in this is treating this as a nothingburger.
tell that to the daca resind order, they arent compatent, but it still can be dangrous.
He saw it only as far as his botched Tulsa rally when he got trolled by K-Pop fans and TikTok users. That's about it.
Sure they can't unilaterally retroactively change the law, but that doesn't make them incompatent. And when it comes to china commerce they've been extremely successful at finding ways to make these orders lawful.
Ehhhhh... the admin's performance in the courts has not been good. They've had one of the lowest success rates at the Supreme Court in the last 100 years and lower courts have overturned Executive Orders that the WH then had to abandon or rewrite.
Naw there's a bunch of china hawks and war mongers in his admin agitating for a fight with someone so they can retain power
i think that's largely a reflection of the very broad deference given to the executive branch on matters of "national security" and not because they are expert lawyers. the admin legal team is sloppy AF and they've been putting out badly-worded and poorly thought through EOs since day one. they had to revise the muslim ban 3 times after the first version was rushed out and caused absolute chaos, they lost DACA on procedural grounds, they lost the census citizenship case on procedural grounds, etc.
National security. The same justification the White House used to impose tariffs on Canadian aluminum earlier this week.
My joke was based on him never thinking anything through, but yeah, you're right.
This is actually true about China but Trump is actually enhancing their success rate, not holding it back.
Whoops. That's on me. I'm so tired that one flew right over my head the first time.

Whoa whoa whoa now you have taken this shit to a whole new level. You do understand China with probably the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world is nothing like Iraq or Iran don't you?
The goal of China in its rise has been self sufficiency.
