Speaking of which, Microsoft is interested. https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-to-sign-order-demanding-chinas-bytedance-to-divest-tiktok-11596219920 From an anti-trust and monopoly perspective, MS buying TikTok makes more sense than if Google or Facebook tried to purchase the company.

Ricofoley Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I don't make guesses of what he is or isn't going to follow through with anymore. At the time, I didn't think he was going to build a section of border wall using already allocated department of defense money, but he did, and SCOTUS just agreed that he was allowed to.

You know after Herman Cain died maybe the TikTok people did everyone a favor. If that place was packed how many more people would have died?

Little would Trump know that if you are taking blood and it is very red that is a problem because you take blood from veins not arteries and the blood should be darker because it is less oxygenated. Also as the parent of children that are/were tough to get blood/IV (had to request the neonatal team to get lines in for our Livi and now for Noriegh which use a ultrasound to see the veins) the top of the hand is a good place if your normal arm veins are not the best.

TwinIon Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Here's the clip: Judging from MS's blog post, they're going to grovel sufficiently, but I'm not even sure what Trump means when he says that the US should get a cut, and from whom. MS seems to be thinking of it as "we'll enrich the US by bringing and creating more jobs here as a result of this acquisition," but Trump sure sounds like he expects to be personally handed a check from Xi.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Yeah, it really sounds like he expects China to kick back some of the money they’ll make in the sale of Tiktok to the US. What a moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 That whole Axios interview is incredible in the most Trumpian way. I'm still amazed by how bad he is at even the simple things. I can't think of a politician, even if through obviously gritted teeth, that would fail to acknowledge anything positive about a dead civil rights leader, and instead focus entirely on a petty snub. And that only a few minutes after only wishing the best to an accused child predator. It continues to be so obvious how much he surrounds himself with only the most capital Y "Yes men." He has a giant bar graph printed out that has 4 whole numbers on it. Have thousands of data points over time? Yeah, a graph is a great way to visualize that data. Have 4 numbers you're comparing? How in the world does that require not only a chart, but a chart that gets a whole page? Obviously the bigger picture is far more bleak than his simple lack of decorum or his inability to comprehend numbers. He has so successfully immunized himself against the possibility of acknowledging any failure that he's completely incapable of even recognizing a problem, even when it's one of such historic scale. He can't possibly have done anything poorly, therefore there is no problem, therefore no solution is required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is hanging him self, I don’t know if there is any real political capital to be gained doing this again right before an election.

We’re testing more than anyone! I somehow watched the whole thing, only because it was nice to see a reporter push back at him, which could never be done in normal press boxes, because he can just ignore your question and move on to fellatio from an OANN reporter.
