Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

Bernie Madoff victims now got 94% back from the infamous Ponzi scheme. Considering that #crypto "investors" will get 0% back, I guess the Madoff name won't sound so bad in the future. www.cnbc.com/2024/12/30/b...

Fudging election results... Erdogan has done it repeatedly over the past 10+ years. I really wish someone would investigate and write a comprehensive study shedding light on the dirty tricks. If that has already been done, I'd appreciate a link/reference. Thanks.

I think it's time we ban the word "terrorist". Used and abused, it impedes discussion and learning. It only makes those who use it feel self-righteous.
