    Biden destroying the spirit of the pardon laws. He has singlehandedly changed Presidential pardons forever and that might just be the Dems plan all along as we venture into a Republican led Presidency.

    well, the Chinese do allow their kids on tiktok - but those under 14 get shown things like science experiments, educational videos, museum exhibits, - and are limited to 40 minutes a day. Reports the US version has screen time setings - but they are voluntary.
    what do the school kiddies of today in the west want to be when they grow up? - influencers

    FYI in a one day absent Americans signed on to RedNote which is the China version of tik-tok
    Facts do matter

    Privately held ByteDance is about 60% owned by institutional investors such as BlackRock and General Atlantic, while its founders and employees own 20% each. It has more than 7,000 employees in the U.S.

    But since it's a Chinese company by Chinese law they have to turn over user data or any data to the Government if ask.

    Tik Tok is no worse than any of them, they go with who's in charge.

    Could you imagine Biden taking a Q&A session like Trump is inside the Oval Office at any point, let alone while signing executive actions/orders?

    Unscripted by the way

    Yep Biden did, now how do you feel about the Rioters who assaulted cops being set free? Do we need to change the law for Pardons not because Biden and Trump have abused the power?

    How long have they been jailed WITHOUT DUE PROCESS UNDER THE LAW?
    How many were treated like that for killing people, attacking government buildings, burning cities, brutally, attacking police with actual weapons with absolutely zero consequences because they were paid and unpaid operatives of the Democratic party....sit down!

These being the several species thought to be extinct......reappearing. Over the last few years of info scrolling this seems to have occurred many many times....hhhmmmm
