Joe is right about ban, but he doesn't let, he has no choice.
America wants to control all media so sad
I don't care if she is not capable of this position, she's a pretty lady and shouldn't we be happy. She can speak well, i can't pull it off, and I'm not a beautiful woman. Maybe we should really stop caring about things that don't matter. Don't worry, someone else is going to actually do the job. We don't have control of the country and its all good. I love America, its on autopilot and it's still all good
It's always cold in Washington on Inaugural Day. Grow a pair of balls.

who cares about tik tok let it shutdown in fact, i be o.k. with a global empd event
38 Israhelli soldiers committed suicide over last few months !!!
The truth is that the government just doesn't like that they can't control Tiktok because it's not an American company.
Facebook and twitter constantly censor and shadowban posts on the behest of the US government.
The only real reason TicTok became so popular with the younger generation is because it is something the Fed Gov said "no" to. Unfortunately, our country tends to not only breed rebellion, it encourages it. The F'ed up thing these YOLO kids of a majorly jacked-up generation is that the foreign threat posed to the these individuals does not only affect them, but all those connected with them. This is what happens when we make everything connected and increase our ability to be easily connected with those we know…and where we and those we know work at. These kids had ample time to adjust and maneuver to another social media platform, but just because this one is a threat told to them by the "Man" they rebel. They can kiss off. Sorry, but I do not have the bandwidth for this generation's BS. I'm sorry if they don't care for my view, but it is the God honest truth. Y'all had time to move to a better app but you decided to plant your feet and pout. The purpose of the Fed. Gov. is not to cater to your own private needs and cares. It's purpose is to protect the overall greater good of ALL its people. If you have to be sacrificed for it, so be it. Y'all need to learn from our greatest generation and start to work as a country as a whole…not a country of selfish individuals.
– Ter. Netanyahu regime let the attack happen on the own country, despite knowing about the attack 3 days before it happened.
– Music festival was organised with lot of foreigners just 3 miles away from the border. On whose order?
– Music festival was extended by one day as the attack did not happen when it was thought to happen. On whose order?
– Noticing that music festival casualty were less, used IDF to increase the casualties in the music festival. On whose order?
Only in America…come on…we are the best when it comes to covering each other's backs.

Hospitals should refuse to see antivaxers, they don’t deserve to have resources wasted on them.
