Big bipartisan majority in Congress bans TikTok, Biden signs it into law, the US doesn't enforce it, Trump becomes president, and now TikTok's US operations have been transferred to Trump-allied oligarchs, including those who have changed CBS from news into pseudo state media, do I have that right?

New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic
"The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."

Billions? Their lies are so unhinged from reality
Blanche lies shamelessly: "When there was all the focus on the billions and billions of dollars of fraud happening in Minneapolis, suddenly Minneapolis becomes a powder keg. The people who caused that to happen were the governor, the mayor, the AG, Omar. They incited."

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.
