Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL was recorded on a leaked phone call saying Israel has a Tik Tok problem

I'm wondering if Trump will complain about the steal when Putin becomes pres. Could declare himself the winner and file lotsa lawsuits.

Mike Gallagher (R?-?) was asked why the bill had such bipartisan momentum and he said Oct 7

So now Israel is censoring Americans

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt

"Its time to talk about Tik Tok"

Too much anti-Zionism and anti-semitism so this man threatened to go after the various businesses with stock in Tik Tok. Anti defamation league lol

no sense of irony or shame, just blatant nonstop gaslighting and projection

so Tik Tok gets a new owner, is that the deal. Will the new owner need congressional approval?

Dan Crenshaw (R-Tex) loves the bill, he put a lot of $$$ in Meta stock.

The swamp

Western MSM tries to paint the Russian pres elections as a done deal with Putin as the sure winner

John Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017.

In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.

Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett's passing.

Wasn't the biggest conspiracy component that he as going to give evidence the next day?

California gov Gavin Newsom is signing a new hike in the minimum wage to $20/hr for restaurants
The billionaire owner of Panera Bread and school buddy/donor is exempt because the law doesn't apply to restaurants that also sell bread as a stand alone product.

I can actually think of like 3-5 restaurants that I have been to like that.

Katie Porter said the California primary was rigged... Adam Schiff told her to stop using MAGA language

Adam Schiff spent years accusing Putin and Trump of rigging the 2016 election

shameless sociopaths run the country and Wokeville just nominated another mass murderer to the Senate

I'll vote for your war if you vote for mine - bipartisanship in Washington

Is that Luke Harding's Guardian?

they're in jail, they've been held accountable... The Democrats have not and the Republicans don't seem to care - everyone's friends in the swamp

Watching freshman AL Sen. Katie Britt doing the GOP response to Biden's SOTU speech. Virtually zero actual reference or counterpoint to the actual content of Biden's speech. This was a pure "moms and kids" American dream appeal, all with a big stage smile and cross neckace (no lapel flag). Clearly she was chosen to address Trump's very serious problem with women voters.

If her speech flies, there's a good chance she will be the choice for VP. Because it sure looks like this was an audition - sort of a nod to Obama, who rose from "young party hotshot in the spotlight" to POTUS based on a similar high-profile speech (his was Dem convention, 2004). FWIW, I was not impressed.

I thought Biden held up pretty well under a lot of pressure.

There seem to be a couple probs with Katie Britt's stuff, namely that several things she made Biden responsible for did neither happen during his presidency nor even in the US.
