    They shouldn’t ban TikTok, they should give the company a gosh dang medal. The countless lives they saved with their Tulsa rally actions were heroic. If only Herman Caine had been shorted a ticket he may still be with us!

    Well it's most likely a data collection app. Where the collects as much personal data as possible and sends the data back to a data center in China where analysis can be done on the data.

    Remember personal data is the new currency.

    You like the idea of the president banning private companies by executive fiat?

    I expect he will issue blanket pardons to himself and his family.

    True enough. But I expect him to do as much as he can at the federal level

    The government should ban it because you don't like it and think it is stupid? Man, the far right is really dedicated to abusive authoritarianism these days.

    The Biden campaign already banned it .... I don't use it and our POTUS is a P*ssy... what else can I say?

    I'm not even sure how an app can be banned in a specific location (USA)?

    Take him to court.... Nothing ever gets resolved there...

    Evidently he cannot take the mocking he receives as SARAH COOPER mimics his speeches everyday with millions of followers on TIK TOK.

    are you referring to Jeff, the guy Trump says was a Terrific guy that likes women on the younger side?

    "“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” - Donald Trump, 2002"

    Both Trump and Clinton were Epstein buddies. One has been accused of flying to his island with young girls. The other has been accused of pedophilia and rape by one of Epstein's girls and Epstein pleaded the 5th when asked about his activity with underage girls and that man. Guess which is which.

    I think this is the first time SJ and I have fully agreed on anything.

    What little social media presence I have is only because I need to communicate with my students. I have a FB with about ten posts. Frankly, every time I must use social media, I can almost feel my IQ dropping.

    But why insist on banning them entirely just because you don't like them? Why hate on 1st Amendment and property rights just because you don't like how they are being exercised?

    Why dodge the facts I pointed out? Well, we all know why.

    I was just curious.

    Lots of people are accused of lots of things. I accuse you of touching me...

    Where's the evidence?

    How about flight logs... over a dozen times?

    After denying you were ever there. Doesnt seem weird?

    Banning TikTok makes more sense than banning Happy Meals, large sodas, weed eaters, fireplaces and circumcisions.
