I can't get over the idea that the detainees who didn't weather all that propaganda will come home to a bunch of raving lunatics.

Why not?

wasting years learning about poll optimization and legal jargon when I want to learn about the organization of society. i guess i assumed the so-called 'science of politics' encompassed that more so. it sucks because I'm a senior and at this point I guess I'll just ride it out

A few points:

One - In what way did Biden “save America from Covid”?

Two - This article says that Americans picked the convicted felon over him, but the opposite is true. He won the only election in which he ran against Trump, and then withdrew the second one. The American people picked the convicted felon over Kamala, not Biden.

Three - Describing Biden’s full on cognitive decline as “walking and talking like an old man” really obscures what we all saw and heard during that debate.

Four - Why is this writer pretending that Biden’s legacy is going to be anything other than funding and supporting the horrific genocide that we’ve all seen broadcast directly to our phones every day for the last year and a half?

lol. lmao even

It's an AP article.

TikTok says it’s “in the process” of restoring service to users in the United States after the popular video-sharing platform went dark in response to a new law.

The company that runs TikTok said in a post on X on Sunday that tech companies that faced fines if they didn’t remove TikTok’s app from the digital stores and other service providers had agreed to help.

TikTok thanked President-elect Donald Trump, who on Sunday said he planned to sign an executive order after his inauguration on Monday to give TikTok’s China-based parent company more time to find an approved buyer before the popular video-sharing platform is subject to a permanent U.S.ban.

It was not immediately clear whether TikTok was working as it did before the company instituted a blackout late Saturday. Some users reported that the app was working, and TikTok’s website appeared to be functioning for at least some users. However, the app remained unavailable for download on Apple’s app store.

Google and Apple removed the app from their digital stores to comply with a federal law that required them to do so if TikTok parent company ByteDance didn’t sell its U.S. operation by Sunday. The law, which passed with wide bipartisan support in April, allowed for steep fines for non-compliance.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below...

anew. unending. forever.

the rakesteppers of all time. the best to ever trip on their own shoelaces. fumbling world champs.

How do you let republicans talk you into banning an app that is primarily used by your own voters?

As someone points out in this post, this took the coordination of dozens of people and thousands of dollars to do, and obviously even with this you'll never convince the people supporting Israel that Israel's taken the entire Gazan population as their mortal enemies.

They're not fighting Hamas, they're fighting the entire Gazan population.

My momma, my dadda, my friends, hexbearinos, and all the motherfuckers on this flight. No one should die because of a bird hitting a propeller.

After 467 days of war and suffering that we lived in Gaza, all that suffering has ended. I have finally been relieved. We are very, very happy in Gaza. Everyone is happy. Today is like a holiday for us. Thank you, friends, for standing and helping us. Thank you for your humanity. You are the most beautiful friends. I wish you happiness and success in your life. I am crying with joy

Audibly cackled when I saw this one today, it's got about 32 hours of relevance left lmao

People who go to China end up loving it and I've yet to see a review from someone who went there and hated it. In contrast, sellout Hong Kongers who go to their much vaunted UK come away miserable and seeing no future, regretting they can't return home.

The contrast on videos of everyone who goes there and is amazed vs the sellout HKer videos who end up with nothing and no future in the UK is hilarious and telling.

If you like China so much why don't you move there? Don't mind if I do!

But if you like the UK so much and you do move there, my condolences and much lols. You deserve what you get.

I can improvise rhymes very well and am good at being mean to people but I have so little business rapping and my voice would sound terrible with it enough to negate it, if anything cause I just wouldn't have.the confidence necessary. I'd be really conscious about not doing a black voice, not sounding like Eminem or the beastie boys etc. I would be booed and sent to die.

Are the democrats ever not Obungling it?
