Put differently, “The ends justify the means.”
It’s a dangerous bargain, even in the best of times. And what a price we’ve paid in this instance: the rule of law, in exchange for TikTok videos.
I sure hope it was worth it.

- righthand 2y agoWhy would they sell? Biden spent 4 years trying to get them to sell. Microsoft, Oracle, etc. Tiktok told them no. Tiktok's game is to delay the actual ban because the law is already passed. All they have left on the table is the hail mary support for Trump. Trump has no other moves other than to do what Biden tried doing for 4 years or change the law that Congress and the Supreme Court just pushed through.
