I usually don't mind when people change their minds on some policy or issue-I just want to see the WORK behind the change-not the talking points. Pros & cons.
Good discussions about TIK TOK are hard to find. @elienyc.bsky.social in The Nation (?) but unsure.
0b. Trump attacks TikTok.
3a: Divestiture is just another word for theft.
Fascist dictators want to control all the media.
But no one has given me a good reason why Democrats voted for it, and Biden signed it.
Not really surprising people are blaming this one on Dems.

A. Rs do shit and fuck things up
B. Ds get blamed
Rinse and repeat.
I can’t figure out whether they’re really this inept or, in fact, complicit in this political theater.
Saddest is how many Americans just stand by and watch.

Trump: you know, you guys are alright. I can't understand where the Dems got the idea you're a threat. Perhaps you could buy Truth social at full value?

8. TikTok owner sits at the table with Bezo, not Leon, as he is a white nationalist.

"many people are saying..."
El Trumpo asked for a large brown sack full of used $100 notes, and after the said sack came into his possession in early Jan weighed up everything & then changed his mind....
Trump sees the $ from not banning it and $ is better than the safety of U.S. citizens.
People have also given away far more info to Americans with truly nefarious intentions without blinking.
You sound like someone who's afraid of sharks but not rip currents.
I guarantee a hospital has had a ransome around where you live.
If I saw evidence that Chinese hackers were using info users turned over to TikTok, I’d start to believe it, but at this point that’s just conjecture.
You make it sound like Trump has no integrity!
Deny EVERYTHING
Step 8: Trump claims he invented TikTok and dance trends.
Step 9: Elon Musk buys TikTok, renames it 'TiXToX,' and alters algo to boost MTG posts about 5G conspiracies.
Can substitute 1-5 with just about any topic.

1. X happens.
2. Dems try to fix X
3. Rs block Dems
4. People blame Dems
I know that’s not what you’re referring to btw lol
I read recommended books, discovered singers I never would have seen and bonded with other small farm, owners.
I watched dogs talk & cats plot. I love Mr. Global & Politics Girl. Tiktok has been fun. I'm on Rednote, now.

Democrats need to get with it and fight it.
TikTok users flock to Chinese-owned competitor, RedNote, and the US govt walks away with its tail between its legs
Democrats didn’t have to vote for that bill.
They were too afraid to take a political hit and LOST anyway.
We KNOW Trump’s piece of crap.
We didn’t expect the knife to come from within what we thought was our own camp.
They FAILED to represent us.
Again.
When I begin a discussion, I’m always working my way up through the lies and misinformation. I never am allowed to begin a discussion on equal ground.
Not anymore. I’m not doing it anymore. Either I discuss the truth with a person, or we part ways.
