One person's "idiosyncrasies" are another person's hypocrisies and biases.
And that's what this TikTok bill feels like to me. The fact that it's called the TikTok bill should be embarrassing to every politician involved.
Just be honest and call it The We-Don't-Like-China-Except-For-The-Times-We-Do Bill.
I don't live in an important state and if Biden signs this thing I'll probably just abstain during the November elections.
