I thought Facebook owns TikTok. Somewhere in the user agreement says Facebook.

I believe it was a collaborative thing between Facebook and Tic Tok. They agree to share and use.

They definitely took over after the shutdown. You cannot say anything anti trump without getting flagged and I deleted my account but it has a 30 day hold period before they'll actually delete it, just like Meta.

That’s why the former CEO’s profile no longer says CEO. Facebook was trying to buy it before it was supposed to go away. Now they have to own it. Why else is there all this censorship. They just didn’t go public outside of the terms and conditions or wherever it’s listed.

He is isolating America…we’re in an abusive relationship and he is about to fully strike to destroy us.

You are exactly right...we are being isolated. Without healthcare information or help, those who become ill / diseased will perish...THIS is what Project 2025- the new version of Mein Kampf is...Hitler said those who help themselves deserve to LIVE...those who are not able or capable of helping themselves and can't work, do NOT deserve LIFE. As with the pandemic, isolation is what will happen to us individually as well as being a country that is scorned by our former allies who no longer trust us.

But here is what he doesn’t count on. Us as a body of people to stand up and fight back. We will and he will not take control of US! We stronger and mightier than him. This isn’t our end it will be his!

do you believe this? then when is this standing up and fighting back happening? do you think something especially bad has to happen first?

i am not in the us, but seeing this craziness go on and on without consequences is really the scariest part of it.

I believe that there are people all over the US standing up. I believe there are people all over the world standing up to say enough! I truly believe that we will be the voice of courage and fight and joy and peace in the face of a heinous evil coward who hides behind money and lies! What is happening is the start of the unraveling of the corruption across the globe.

I'd like to think that, but worse is still to come. Once he feels threatened by protests he still has ability to claim Marshal Law and fill the streets with military. That's what the authors of Project 2025 want to see. The main guy always stated that there wouldn't be any bloodshed as long as Dems stand by, step down, and let them initiate P-2025.

Martial Law will not work. We are far too big and the military is far to spread out to hold us in our homes. I also would bet most veterans would not stand for that. Uphold the constitution from enemies for foreign and domestic. The enemy is within.

Hey Aaron, make a bet he withdraws some of the tariffs. Apple stock went up .37 cents today. It’s down $11.93 cents aftermarket already.

He will pull back the tariffs, watch. The market is tanking which include the stocks of everyone who have kissed the ring. He’s a fucking idiot and will throw someone under the bus.

It’s messed up that Trump scapegoats fentanyl to justify tariffs on goods that impact everyone, while simultaneously slashing funding for opioid use disorder prevention and treatment programs. You’d expect someone like RFK, with his ego, to at least preserve those kinds of initiatives. We’re likely to see a spike in deaths, and Trump will just keep pointing the finger at other countries.

He also pardoned the man behind the “Silk Road” website that was responsible for ushering in the fentanyl use surge on the U.S. Not much has been reported about that. Total hypocrisy

Dane's avatar

And the thing is, everyday Americans aren't impacted by fentanyl. It's drug user's that are overdosing. Since when have Republicans grown a soft heart for drug users?

Expand full comment
Cats & Politics's avatar

That was exactly one of my points -RFK is throwing individuals who share his diagnosis under the bus. Even though RFK is no longer using heroin, he will always carry an Opioid Use Disorder diagnosis. I honestly feel like he’s going to identify Methadone and Suboxone as “woke” medications at this point.

I actually met someone that happens to first hand. Fucking tragic. Their child took Xanax once in his room and never woke up.

Same. The young man went to school with my son. So did his friend who sold it to him. He didn’t know it was laced. He wasn’t a hardcore user. From what I’ve heard, it was mixed into adderall or Xanax. Absolutely heartbreaking.

The fact that we’re still concerned about TikTok being a national security threat, but are not concerned about the legitimate national security threats coming from the White House, is actually insane.

Trump is demolishing our economy deliberately. Once we are impoverished and destroyed economically and have no healthcare we will fall as Germany did...to a Hitler...Trump. He's best buddies with autocratic dictators- Viktor Orban is one of his favorite "friends"... Orban, Bolsanaro, Putin, etc. all have "elections"...all are autocratic dictators. The elections are rigged in their favor...remember that Trump said "Vote just this one last time...after this you'll never have to vote again, it will be fixed beautifully." Pay attention America!!!

I think he is trying to create national/ international crisis intentionally. We are more powerful than he is. He Will Fail. As long as we all stand up and refuse to broken down by the fear. Are the Republicans in Congress going to continue to underwrite this nightmare?

And every company will raise all their prices, even if the items are not subject to tariffs. Prepare for a level of gouge-flation we have never seen.

THIS!!! We saw it with Covid even items that had zero supply issues were price gouged. We are in for it because corporations live nothing more than raising prices and being able to blame someone or something else as the reason.
