He's inadequate in every way. And that includes his suiting. And that includes his posture.

Just don't make me recount that story of when-- as the Eviction King-- he was frightened and sat for an hour in his chauffeur-driven big car, inside the gate of his gated community-- while 5 or 6 aged impoverished men walked to and fro with signs protesting the fact that he'd kicked them out of their homes.

For whatever reason.... I thought he would have the money to be better dressed. A better cut suit, to start with.... And I'm no fashion hound... But to go knowingly to a photo shoot...

No mirror around?

You are SO CLOSE to figuring out the secret Canadian plan to take over TikTok via Kevin O’Leary and brainwash your children into putting cartel-manipulated maple syrup on everything so we can control your country via maple syrup addiction…but I’ve said too much, I can’t reveal the poutine part of the plan or the role of Tim Hortons in this…

Ta, Robyn. Keep Mnuchin and his ilk away from everything. Xitter and FaceBorg are bad enough. I'm surprised my rep, Dan Goldman, is not on that list of Democrats.

Russia manipulates elections in multiple countries without owning any platforms.

ATT passes all of out calls & texts straight to the NSA.

Meta? Nazi-promoting Xitter??

China >possibly< seeing data is not the biggest threat here.

Saudi Arabia also helped finance Muskrat’s takeover of Xitter.

Do you think they wouldn’t want to use social media to spread propaganda to US teens?

"I have racked my brain all week to complete the sentence “The Chinese government brainwashes the TikTok tweens to believe ________ and then ______ happens and it’s really bad,”"

If you listen to Republicans (and many moderates) the real problem is that The Kids These Days on TikTok are very sympathetic to Palestine. That's what is really upsetting them.

My son had TikTok for a while. At 12 years old he said to me, "I don't like how much time I'm spending on here and I don't think it's good for me. I'm deleting it from my phone and I want you to stop me if I try to reinstall it." If he can realize that at 12, I'm not sure what everyone else's excuse is

There's a long list of Ds on dismantling the Anti-trust division of the govt. They are making big bucks to make that happen and their donors/lobbyists are willing to do whatever it takes. Corporate america wants their slaves back dammit and they will do all sorts of evil to get it done. Along with destroying unions the backbone of the middle class.

I thought the issue was the potential misuse of personal information, not propaganda.

There’s already plenty of that on Facebook and Xhitter

Why do these megawealthy dorks always look so unnatural when simply trying to stand still? Mnuchin looks like his skin suit is chafing.

I would rather let the Chinese keep Tik-Tok and have American authorities scrutinizing it then give it Mnuchin who will get at total pass ala Musk.
