The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would ban TikTok unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, divests its interest in the app.

I’m not kidding. This will make Gen-Zers vote for Trump. All he has to say is he’ll reverse the ban. He’s already announced that he opposes this bill and that this only supports Facebook.

Biden and the Democrats are so fucking insane. I do not understand it. They want to lose all support with every fucking base they have.

I’ll never stop being on TikTok.

    Are they insane or is the whole two-party thing a big theater play and they’re taking on the “bad cop” role? Or the stick, as in carrot and stick. Or the “heel” and the “face” of kayfabe. I just feel like they have to know what they’re doing. All those teams of people working on campaigns and policies and stuff. Right?

      The US is just a nation of “good cops” and “bad cops.” The good cops will politely ask you to vote for them, support their policies. When you refuse or ask why or ask if they could do a better job, they’ll just shake their heads and say “I tried to help. But it looks like we’re doing it the hard way” and walk away for the bad cop to come in and beat you half to death.
