House Passes Bill to Force TikTok Sale From Chinese Owner or Ban the App - eviltoast
The legislation received wide bipartisan support, with both Republicans and Democrats showing an eagerness to appear tough on China.

The House on Wednesday passed a bill with broad bipartisan support that would force TikTok’s Chinese owner to either sell the hugely popular video app or be banned in the United States.

Republican leaders fast-tracked the bill through the House with limited debate, and it passed on a lopsided vote of 352-65, reflecting widespread backing for legislation that would take direct aim at China in an election year.

    There’s no hidden conspiracy to find.

    Then you shouldn’t have included it as part of your post because it undercuts and detracts from your actual point.

    But, yes, I wish we would do more important things, but there seems to be good reason to ban this app, it’s no real loss if it disappears, and Republicans are not going to want to help children, so I don’t see what the point is in getting so upset over this.
