The U.S. Government's motivations in forcing the sale of TikTok were not for the benefit of the citizens of the United States. And frankly, I don’t care how much the U.S. Govenment collects or earns in money, because its income or debt benefits citizens in no way. It could have a gagillion dollars in debt or a googleplex in surplus, and the lives of the American people would be better or worse in no way.
not for the benefit of the citizens of the United States.
Of course it wasn't, it was so the US government could control the propaganda instead of China.
Clearly a MAGGOT wrote this post (written?) because they overlooked dear leader's abrogation of laws and statutes and glommed money that doesn't belong to them.
It's called felony theft, wire fraud and money laundering.
My friend in Jesus you are sane washing an illegal and impeachable series of offenses. Does the orange anus mouth care or want your support? NO!!
HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU. You won't even be allowed to vote. Wise up.
I'd rather the Chinese still owned TikTok than a bunch of corrupt Techbro billionaires who have already admitted they want America entirely owned by themselves and their friends and the rest of us as slaves - if that. All the forced sale of TikTok stuff was to give them another tool to pacify and brainwash the masses while they consolidate their control.
IF ANYBODY impeaches him, for any reason, THEN he invokes the Insurrection Act, & "goes nuclear" on all the ones he's committed to destroying.
That option was rendered useless by allowing his ever-accelerating-escalation to progress this-far.
It's too late for that to work.

Do it
You know Pump and Dump Rump and his crime family got their beak wet on the guzinta and the gozouta of the transaction. That's the only thing he gets right until another bankruptcy of his leaves US holding the full diaper he leaves behind.
If you're still using TikTok Your an idiot
How did you get "you're" correct the first time you used it, and then whiff the second?
Guess they're still using TikTok every other day 🤷🏻
*Your a idiot ftfy
What the fuck am I supposed to do with this "but hitler made the autobahn" argument ?
Entomologist and photographer Alex Wild wrote on Bluesky, "Maybe you could report plainly that this is corruption and it is illegal."
I mean, sure, he's 💯 right, but HOW exactly is his expertise in insects and visual depiction relevant enough to mention in this context? 🤔
Trump is basically a cockroach ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe that's unfair to cockroaches though
Fuck RawStory.
This is crazy as they have been fine for money going directly to him.
The deal was basically, "Sell off your business or we shut it down." That ain't worth $10 billion.
LOL. As if anything will happen about this.
