    “It’s time to investigate,” he wrote in a post to X on Monday night. “I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.”

    What are “things I’d rather be said by my opponent rather than my ally” for 500?

    What a joke. I hope tik tok crashes and burns.

    They did all of that, because Israel. Because tik tok declined to rig moderation in favor of Israel. They care more about that country than our own. Now what were we talking about, epstein, ahem. Completely unrelated I’m sure, except for all of the child fucking blackmail Israel holds, that might have something to do with it now that you mention it.

      It’s literally the only thing I could imagine being bad enough to go to these lengths over. The Maxwell connection with her father and Mossad is the inflamed fucking toenail they are trying to hush up to hide the gangrene.

      It’s got to be so fucking bad, like, I am beginning to think that the pedophilia isn’t the worst part, more like the tip of the iceberg, and that whatever that shit would uncover would spell the fall of nations, civilization or straight up nuclear war.

        Yeah, and we have like 0.07% of their reach.

        You can fool some people some time, you can fool some people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.

        Unfortunately, you don’t have to fool all the people all the time, 99.93% of the people most of the time will do just fine. Shit, 51% is plenty enough.

          We like to shit on Tik Tok, but you’re right that their reach is absolutely massive. Recently when Democrats were writing op eds and taking out ads saying that troops should ignore illegal orders, a high ranking member of the military (I forget who) commented that the messaging was ineffective because troops almost universally get their “news” through Tik Tok.

              Proving the point perfectly. They aren’t paid to think. They’re paid to follow orders.

              When the time comes, they will not hesitate to fire upon US civilians, and those who do will be shot alongside them.

          On politics with a 65% turnout election, you need more than 32.5%

          This why 40% approval is enough to win. Specially if your rival is purist and doesn’t vote for many reasons.

      The media actively whitewashes all of this. What other convicted felon (rapist) would get a pass like this?

      It’s absolutely “hilarious” when NPR calls him “President Trump” and not “convicted felon Trump” or “rapist Trump”. NPR is supposedly some liberal bastion of honesty, etc. But they’re absolute bootlicking enablers.

        Take a look at the public NPR board at the bottom. I just clicked one executive and here is a paragraph on her:

        Most recently, Levene was President of the National Media Group at Meredith Corporation, where she oversaw the company’s 40+ iconic brands including PEOPLE, Allrecipes, Entertainment Weekly, InStyle, TRAVEL&LEISURE, REAL SIMPLE and Magnolia Journal. She joined the company in 2019 as Chief Strategy Officer. Later that year, she was named Chief Digital Officer, responsible for the digital P&L of the company’s iconic brands. In late 2020, she was named President of Meredith’s National Media Group adding the print and licensing businesses to her management portfolio and making history as the company’s first female Corporate Officer. As President, she led the National Media Group through a period of unprecedented digital expansion, revenue growth and diversification, and strategic application of first-party data and consumer insights. Prior to Meredith’s sale to IAC’s DotDash in December 2021, the National Media Group reached nearly 190 million unduplicated American consumers every month across digital, print, social platforms, video, audio and connected home assistants.

        NPR is who the board is. They’re trying to hide it a little more behind links and I don’t have time to go through everyone. I bet there are a shit ton of corporations on there like the last time I checked in 2024.

      Idk, the federal agency with 200 billion in the bank I think it a greater threat, seeing as tik tok is just one social media company. They all steal our data too, and sell it, including to the chinese the entire thing was bullshit. Once again it was because of Israel criticism being allowed, they didn’t falsely claim they were terrorist sympathizing by acknowledging what was going on over there.

      Israel first, to such a degree it makes one wonder why they care so much, until you remember epstein was a honeypot for israel’s intelligence agency to get blackmail on US politicians, and the UK. And businessman, the ivy league in general, swells. They’ve a critical mass. And they could have more than just child fucking blackmail too.

        My point is that with control of TikTok, they can control enough of the voting population to be set forever (media is like, wow we don’t understand why young men have suddenly started skewing right wing hard), granting them the capacity to give as many billions they want to their private army. I legitimately think that 2024 was the last time we will have come to a semblance of a fair election- which I believe it wasn’t either way. They needed to win that one, the last one, every one after this will be “free and fair” in the Russian or North Korean sense of “free and fair”. I mean they are blatantly open about it, on every level, no need to even go into the fingerprints they left all over, or the times they literally were caught or did it anyway- 2000 elections being settled by the SC, voter record purges, buying votes, redistricting and gerrymandering, bomb threats to polling stations, mail in ballots banned, that time they were literally investigated by the FBI in Georgia and destroyed the servers, that whistleblower in charge of the voting machines getting assassinated, it just goes on and on and on…

        On your second point, I’m with you, I answered one of your other comments, but it’s like… You have to tread lightly because you don’t want to give the nazis free ammo with that shit. I don’t know what to say, the situation is beyond unbelievably fucked up, and I genuinely don’t see how it can ever return to normality.

          They are establishment Dem propaganda. I’ve noticed recent instances where they seem to be somewhat complicit or cagey with their language regarding all the fucked up shit that’s been going on. I.e. using language like “some people argue,” instead of plainly stating obviously illegal or fucked up shit. Their rebranding to MS Now was specifically to distance its brand from be a “resistance brand,” according to the CEO.

          MSN is owned and operated by Microsoft Corporation.

          MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), is a cable news channel owned by Versant Media Group.

          Versant Media Group is an independent publicly traded company, after they spun off from Comcast.

          Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts and his family retain significant share holder control.

          He’s a billionaire that paid tons of money to both parties (let’s pause and think about this for a moment because as obvious as it is to all of us, we tend to forget that it is not normal to live in a two party state no more than it is living in a one party state), leaning mostly republican.

          So, I guess, as billionaires go, he’s not the worst offender. But, as billionaires go, he will always do what is financially expedient- that’s why any rich person pays both sides, so that regardless who comes out on top YoY, they win.
