    The funny thing is that the law states “a foreign adversary controlled application” is what is getting banned, e.i. all Chinese apps are being banned. It doesn’t state that it is a TikTok ban. All apps owned by a foreign adversary say all Russian apps or all Iran apps would also be banned under this law. The people that are upset are only looking at one app, it is all of owned not by a US company that are in danger.

          A very long dictatorship but actually not a lot of boats. Most were either seized or sunk. Bitches however are plenty, he made the whole country his bitch. It’s debatable how happy it made him
