Lol
Whether Trump has the authority or not, it's better to play along with it regardless and hope they can get the Dems to undo it in 2-4 years than it is to defy it and either have Congress pass a law forbidding it or have SCOTUS rule against them.

You don't have the intelligence to make a change and numbers only make things messy. But it is kinda cute that you guys keep making things worse over and over gain, like a pig in a treadmill that thinks he will eventually lose weight.

>>717673586
If you do nothing to stop things from getting worse, then you have no right to complain when things get worse.

Turns out it's easy to win when there's nothing left fighting for.
Look at the absolute fucking state of video games in 2025.

You are a failure of a man who has accepted his own inadequacy and doesn't want to be reminded of it. This is why you try to drag others down by telling them they can't succeed like you couldn't.

Some conservative podcasters were told by banks to never use their services again purely due to banks not agreeing with their political opinions.
As life is pretty fucking hard these days trying to be cash-only, especially if you're an online influencer, Trump did an EO that says banks can't just ban customers they don't like.
This may or may not also extend to Visa and Mastercard censoring porn games but whether that's accurate or not is unknown. Even if it is accurate whether anyone gives a shit about this without a dozen lawsuits and a decade in court is another matter entirely.

>>717676901
it doesn't affect visa and mastercard at all
man I though the pedophile did something good but its just MIGA coping

>>717669606
That EO isn't for games it's for J6er and RW people. gamers are still fucked

Executive Orders don't have to be passed by the senate, but the senate can strike them down. Given that it's generally ill-advised for Republicans to move against Trump, this seems unlikely to occur. Dem judges being openly pro-censorship also wouldn't be good for them. So good luck with any of that happening.

>>717678280

It literally specifies that this applies to payment processors such as Visa and Mastercard.

Still haven't won that one, not until we get irrefutable proof that it's not going to happen ever again and no Trump signing that order isn't enough. I want to see it challenged in court and set a precedent.

>>717679675
Basically corpos tried to shut down SKG at the last moment by submitting a conveniently anonymous complaint claiming Ross' unpaid volunteer work promoting SKG was actually paid but undocumented because of its "worth". Their "evidence" for it was picrel.

>>717669606
So? A lefty judge will just strike it down.

The Visa thing is more coincidental. It turns out nobody likes payment processors trying to strong arm people through economic blackmail, so Trump made it illegal. His motivations had more to do with suppression of people based on their politics, but the executive order itself doesn't specify politics, it just says payment processors and banks can't deny service on the grounds of reputational harm.

SKG was because people actually got off their asses and took action for once.

>>717678706
All a sport has to do is make an anime video game.
It doesn't even have to be girls. Ace of Diamond, Haikyuu, Kuroko, Blue Lock, Prince of Tennis, Eyeshield 21 and yet no one is making any fucking games

>>717681262
The EO is more focused on big banks, some jew judge could likely worm payment processors out of it. But there is a separate bill slithering through Congress that explicitly calls out payment processors so visatards are fucked either way.

>>717669762
I don't think anyone will want the bad rep of "the person that did let the credit card companies decide what you can buy"

>>717679721
There are bills in the senate and House called the "Fair Access To Banking Act" that would make what Visa and Mastercard are doing illegal. If those pass then it becomes law that they aren't allowed to pull this shit. Call your representatives.

>>717669606
Hahaha have. No. Visa would just point out the trial where the courts said payment processors are liable for illegal porn content and it is not politically motivated but required by law to force companies to comply with their guidelines. The EO does nothing when the law let's them do this already.

>>717681775
But it also isn't political motivated, which the E.O specifically calls out for. They'll point out it could be illegal so they're cutting ties before they get sued.

Is Visa folding? I just came here to share a new video that says one of the people responsible for the ban is literally involved with Project 2025. I find it hard to believe Trump will bend.

>>717682276
They could call everything potentially illegal, and if that's legally sound we'll see another e.o.

>>717682562
Trump wasn't even going after Visa. He was pissed off at another bank and impulsively issued an EO before he realized how hard he fucked up.

>>717682719
And Trump doesn't give a fuck about this. He did this because of an incident with an unrelated bank, He had fucked over his own agenda because he doesn't think things through.

>So what will you fags do when nothing changes and games keep getting banned?
My understanding of the current law is that credit card companies would be held liable for... discrimination, I think? Valve has already demonstrated they don't like getting pushed around so they'd at least turn over all relevant documentation in the case of a suit.

>>717685670
A lot of stores that used to exist, don't exist anymore, and a lot of stores stopped carrying stuff that they used to carry. For example there are zero physical game stores where I live. So my only option is to buy online. Same for computer parts and physical media like CDs and DVDs.

>>717686052
Sure but maybe then I would start to do something productive. I know I wouldn't.
I'm a youropoor so it's not as bad.

a typical left-wing narrative, which falls flat on its face when you look past façades and deceptions and know that everything is far more liberal now than it was a hundred years ago, and that this trend of everything moving to the Left does not stop or reverse course with our current system of liberal democracy

Legal term. The state's divided up into counties, which are then divided up into "cities". It only has a population of 400. The next "city" over is a single general store and somebody's house.

Living in NYC my whole life, the idea of 400 people being a city instead of a village is weird.
The idea of not having a library on your corner is even weirded. Why did people by you just accept this? It's like the government wants to force rural stereotypes to be true.

>>717691552
It doesn't conflict with it.

>>717691710
>Living in NYC my whole life, the idea of 400 people being a city instead of a village is weird
I don't think the concept of a village exists here. Everything is either a city or unincorporated.
>Why did people by you just accept this?
I don't think many people used it, and as I said earlier, the city is dirt poor. The building got turned into a senior center. So they could probably only afford one or the other, and because there were more old people than library members, the senior center won.

Old people vote far more than young people, so their needs always come first. Politicians always gotta worry about the next election like corpos have to worry about the next quarterly report.

Of course, this means sacrificing the future to placate the past, but that's a sacrifice boomers are willing to make.

>>717693779
There's no local politics beyond petty drama between grannies. So I think the mayor and all the other officials run unopposed and have for the past twenty years. The only local elections I've ever seen any campaigning for are sheriffs elections.
