quote:

By attaching the TikTok bill to funding for Ukrainian military equipment and Israeli missile defense, House Republicans put the pressure on Senate lawmakers to consider the whole package in a single up-or-down vote.

Policy analysts expect the Senate to take up the aid package quickly, giving it high odds of passage. And President Joe Biden has previously said he would sign the TikTok legislation if it reaches his desk.

The fast-tracking of the TikTok bill shows how policy priorities outside the company’s control have merged to create a potent and potentially devastating outcome for an app that’s beloved by many young Americans but that US officials say is a national security risk.

The version of the bill approved Saturday would, if signed, give TikTok 270 days to find a new owner, up from the roughly six months contemplated under prior versions of the legislation. And the bill also gives the White House an option to extend that deadline another 90 days if the president determines there’s progress toward a sale.

Both are bad for America, which is why the Senate will pass it.

Screw everything in this bill… the tax payer money going to another foreign country and the stomping down of free speech.

I hate TikTok, but this is a slippery slope.

I am not a fan of Tik Tok, but a fan of our Constitutional Rights. If Free Speech is slurred and dwindles… This will open the door to control other rights. This is in fact a slippery slope that threatens us all. Free Speech is how our country started. I have no desire to use my Second Amendment to keep our country unified.

Pretty sad that the only thing our politicians can agree on is funding other countries and banning TikTok. Damn our country has gone retarded.

These weak clowns will never split bills up. Tik Tok tied to war spending. Asinine.

... the globalists are desperate ...

on May 16, 2020 an earthquake struck Hawthorne NV
38.181° N 118.067° W

This earthquake destroyed the Crowdstrike computer. The Crowdstrike computer was a computer that had government supervision and government authorization attached to it -- just go ask Elaine Chao about that.
Ever since this earthquake leaving the Crowdstrike computer as a pile of rubble, these globalists have been trying to replace it --- WITH GOVERNMENT supervision, with government funding, AND WITH government authorization.

Why? you ask
Because they absolutely NEED the Dominion software back in business. ASAP , as you can see.

Well the only way to replace it (as they have found out) is to create a new computer system from scratch, using an existing social media program such as X (formerly known as twitter)
But Musk owns that

So now it comes down to tiktok

So Congress has to force China to let go of tiktok and thus allows the government to supervise and gives the new Crowdstrike, government authority.

PLUS government funding

and why?
Because the globalists feel the Crowdstrike computer has to be replaced in order to control.

Since they were deprived of their ultimate goal of control.

But the tiktok stuff has a backdoor to China

What to do
What to do?

and that is what is going on

just so you know ...

... so now the big question is:

Are you going to let China or the globalists re-gain control ?

Think about it ...

The purchaser of TikTok has most likely already been predetermined. The left is not going to let an influential entity fall into the hands of any right of center group.

They let Twitter get away from them. They will not make the same mistake twice.
