Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform

My wife was watching something last night that said the real reason the US wants to ban TikTok is some rich asshole wants to own it, can't, so he's trying to get the government to ban it to force a sale. No idea if that's true. I mean, Steve Mnuchin and Bobby Kotick are both hovering over this like...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform

As to director liability/phoenixing laws/whatever you want to call it, apparently it can happen at least in New York; see what has recently happened to Donald Trump in the criminal fraud case (i.e. he is personally banned from operating any real estate business in New York whether it's the Trump Org...

Well, good luck to them, they're going to need it. Wagner almost made it, but the Russians doubtlessly expect it from these guys where they didn't with Prigozhin.

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform

From what's been reported, the bill will ban the app from U.S. based app stores. I don't know if it will also IP block existing installations from the United States but it didn't sound like it. In any case, a bunch of Senators want to hold hearings before moving on the bill, so it isn't going to pas...

Not much, because everyone knows that if Russia wants peace it can have it as easily as withdrawing across the border.

I'm not American but it looks like Biden did a good job during his term all things considered. But despite that, he's too old to run again (then again, so is Trump). What's stopping the democratic party to promote an alternative candidate to Biden? One that could lure moderate republicans too that ...

If Biden were senile he wouldn't be able to run rings around the House the way he does. The way he baited them into booing their own plan of cutting Medicare and Social Security was a work of art. :lol:

Is it too TRR/Chicken Little to declare we're getting four more years of Trump at this point?

I remember when he was elected that there would be speculation that he would only serve a single term and not stand for re-election. If he does, I imagine the chances of another Democrat mounting a primary challenge just went way up because of the events of the last 36-48 hours. Question is, who is...
