Did you actually close the broadcast with that so obviously idiotic comment about billionaires for Trump? Maybe, you should open on monday about how many billionaires and millionaires have poured how much money into the Harris campaign... 🤦

Just in case you forget: "the press" is there to _inform_ the people. Not to form their opinions for them.

TikTok Ban Workaround: If it goes into effect, it's rather easy to circumvent with a VPN and/or by choosing a different country for your Apple App Store or whatever you use. I'm an American in Japan; my phone and iPad identify as United States so I can get American content, and I use a VPN to access American films and television shows on streaming.

Basically, if TikTok is banned in the US, it doesn't matter, because you can switch over to Canada or any other country you want to use.

China actually bans a lot, including any foreign form of TikTok, so Chinese people typically use the workarounds I described above.

This is also a good thing for foreign language learners, because you can get source content from other countries.

Want me to throw another twist on this? It was pre-meditated and well-planned. There are realistic masks now. My guess is that it was a corporate assassination by a professional assassin, which means he or she is probably not in the US. A perfect hit.

Byden couldn’t play Bingo by himself 😂

Why did they misrepresent what Hakeem said about the pardon? He did NOT say Biden should not have done that, just that he needs to offer the same mercy to many others unjustly imprisoned.

[traviscutler]

Congressman Tran has already learned how to say nothing for an entire interview, he's going to do just fine!

[kennethmorillas]

HEGGSETH IS BETTER THAN BLINKEN BY FAR

[iamthemagazine]

Once again joe biden doing the right things

[elsildasmith]

FACTS HE IS A WINNER? DID HE HONESTLY WIN? LIAR

[bobbitaylor-cheng]

President Biden has the discretion to pardon anyone he wants!

[Poppy_]

I don't like trump gump or Elon musketqueer

[eilenemorris]

Why don't the news have a segment for the people to tell how they feel, including me and others. Respond please.😅😊👹

[aeonrose]

To this new s reporter I aeon propose to be the vice president of Mr Donald Trump's and do foreign affairs with him Mr Donald Trump's as now doing foreign affairs. Tells her no hostage s under ground of Israel prime minister he would flush out with water as Mr Joe Biden said don't do that. To me no one under ground.

So the Supreme Court in 1815 said the acceptance of a pardon was an admission of guilt, and that hasn't been changed since 1815 then acceptance of a pardon is still an admission of guilt. No matter how much the "expert" sugar coats it.

[LegoAnimationGuy]

If there's violations of law, shouldn't the "party of law and order" allow whomever to clear their name if charged?
