The Supreme Court idea of judicial review was, essentially, created by an early Chief Justice using the classic children’s excuse “the rules don’t say I can’t do this so therefore I’m doing it and you can’t stop me”

Edit: I had this somewhat wrong. After reading, it seems a lot of the people who wrote and debated on the Constitution wrote strongly in support of judicial review, and it was in fact voted on and approved by multiple state legislatures after the Constitution was adopted. It simply wasn’t worded explicitly into the Constitution. Chief Justice John Marshall did issue an official ruling that made it a standard practice but it was not a new concept.

I’m referring to this, in the article.

The conservative justices appointed by his rival, former President Donald Trump, are “already gutting voting rights, overturning Roe, decimating affirmative action, and so much more,” Biden said. “Are we going to let that happen? We can’t.”

The Democrats are, in fact, letting it happen.

Yet another blatant, pandering lie.

Remember: when China does it, it’s bad and evil. When the USA does it, it’s patriotic and courageous and fighting for world freedom.

Not once in that report did the UN refer to it as a genocide, as I stated

When it comes to Xinjiang, I trust the UN’s own report that there isn’t a genocide happening

The sourcing is nebulous by their own admission and the phrasing of the entire article is overtly negative and inflammatory. It could be entirely made up and we have no way to prove it true or false.

I don’t believe a single word the CIA says about China and neither should anyone who is interested in the truth.

Their sourcing is, by the article’s own admission, nebulous. Don’t trust a single word the CIA says about anything related to China.

Source: Radio Free Asia, aka the CIA, who have obvious material interest in smearing China as much as possible. China may have problems but the bias here is pretty overt.

“US government official agrees with position of US State Department propaganda, more news at 11”

Portable gaming died because of smartphone gaming, unfortunately

You have guessed right. The US government had a massive hand in the creation of modern social media, such as a significant amount of funding for Facebook during its startup phase. The intelligence agencies are mad that they can’t pull data from TikTok or influence its algorithms, on top of the American social media companies wanting to kill off their foreign competition as much as possible.

This bill has nothing to do with data privacy because if Congress cared about that they would’ve banned other platforms too. It’s about control and unfair competition.

The “data privacy” argument is bullshit and the people pushing for this law know it. That’s what is being sold to people but it is not why this TikTok ban got passed. It got passed because American social media companies are pissed that TikTok is outcompeting them for the attention of young people, and because the US government has a heavy hand in what algorithms are allowed to push on Facebook and Google and others. A good portion of Facebook’s initial funding came from government sources.

“Data privacy” is just an excuse. Lobbying from the intelligence agencies and social media companies is why it’s really being enacted.

The history speaks for itself. China is less of a threat to other countries in the world than the USA is. Your idea that they’re some international boogeyman that’s going to take over the entire world and doom humanity is just you repeating “China bad and scary” State Department propaganda.

Even with China’s human rights record being what it is, they don’t export war across the entire world.

This comment was brought to you by the US State Department.

Tell me, how many countries’ governments has China knocked over in the last century as compared to the US CIA?

How many countries did the US drop bombs on in the last decade, and how many did China?

It’s not even close. In terms of physical violence the US is the world’s #1 exporter.

Yep. The PS4 and Xbone are both very close to off-the-shelf AMD APU’s as far as I remember; you could buy very similar processors for desktop use. Emulation would require a ton more power than the original chips, and the original chips are so close to desktop processors that it’s more efficient and feasible to reverse-engineer the proprietary API’s those console chips use.

What attempt?

I have seen the phrase “the Switch is a telemetry nightmare” on CFW websites

One might argue that it is, instead, the Lunchable that is the poor facsimile of a charcuterie.

Agree, and its very start was as a government-sponsored hit squad extrajudicially murdering bank robbers under the direction of an extremely troubled man. It’s never strayed far from its roots.
