In the UK we call this an “omnishambles” — it doesn’t matter how you look at it, it’s a mess.
My suspicion is throwing it over the wall to Trump is supposed to make him look bad/under foreign influence, but it will mostly just make him popular if/when he rescinds it.
Or: the Dems are seeking a way to wash their hands of the matter, in which case they look weak as well as incompetent.
The White House says it will leave enforcement to the incoming Trump administration

Update
The CEO of TikTok responds, welcoming the opportunity to work with Trump: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGdSwMh83/
Full thing here, each paragraph more delusional than the last.

On #farage “He has no idea on the biggest issue that matters to voters, which is tackling the cost of living crisis."
Right, and neither do you. But unlike you, he offers something to people who are angry about it: Racist pogroms and a never ending list of scapegoats.
Your dismissive tone makes it seem like you don't seem very concerned about that.
Happy for you that your family isn't on his detain/deport/drown list
#RachelReeves quoted in #Guardian as claiming to take on "vested interests" despite the fact that we can all read the register of members interests and see how the vested interests are funding her career.
It's just a list of large corporations, oligarchs, CEO's, property developers, media consultancy firms, £10k from a climate-change denying Baron, a tory Baron centimillionaire, the list goes on.

If only Boris had been allowed to let the pensioners die of COVID.... Then Starmer wouldn't have to cut their fuel allowance and freeze them to death.
Can someone remind me the difference between Labour and Conservatives?
So having walked to the next county where there should be a departure from Blackwater at 0911, that "service" doesn't show up on the departure board. Of course no one is answering the information point.
Fucking #omnishambles.

“…for playing with my chopper, in front of world leaders”
“…for my politics to be overshadowed by the commemorations. “
I’d completely given up on another series of ‘In The Thick Of It’.
Armando Iannucci must have been guest producing the BBC Today programme.
Absolute gold standard #Omnishambles.
For once the #BBC did their job.
I might tune in again, next year.
“…for making other people look stupid, on his behalf. “
They really didn’t need his help, but Rishi is all about the details.
In honour of Marinakis, and his achievements at the club I love, may I present Nottingham Forest Flying Circus

Forest “know match officials do not allow outside factors to influence their decision-making”
Well, except we have match officials on #VAR (Mike Dean) explicitly admitting in 2023 that outside factors did influence his decision making (that he didn’t review a decision to “save his mate embarrassment” - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66612570)
Oh, what it must be like to be making the jokes, rather than being them
