Retweets good
Tiktok bad

Well you only need 51 votes total Mitch I'm sure he can figure it out.

Tik tok is to show Trump is tough on China. He'll use that in the debates if he does it.

I guess, but will anyone care? Someone, somewhere else, is already developing the next TikTok anyway, this will just accelerate the move to whatever that is.

I also don't see Trump's core base as being terribly familiar with TikTok, either.

The anti Harris stuff that has leaked has been very weird. What's the end goal for these people? For Biden to take a Black woman with little national experience would be perplexing? Lee has a pretty incredible anti-war voting history but she's also 74. I will be floored if that is the pick. Especially because this person is supposed to be the front-runner in 2024.

I keep seeing references to this idea that Biden has committed to only one term --- but has he?

No he hasn't but he will be 82 by the start of a second term. Seems like one term ages someone 15 years too.

Picking someone who is effectively campaigning for your job from day one would put Joe in a weird position. I know Clinton and Reagan dealt with it, but the dynamics are way different in a second term. If he's going to pick somebody interested in the top job in '24, it should be someone with less of a national profile who needs him more than he needs her.

The campaign floated a trial balloon of the idea back in December. The response was too strong (this was before he'd tied up the nomination) so they walked it back.

Also, a recent Times article highlights that many are suggesting a pick that is specifically NOT focused on the presidency, elevating Bass' chances.

He's a fucking idiot and it concerns me that at least 45% of voters will vote for this moron again. You need to look at the percentage of test that are coming back as positive. If the republican party had any balls he wouldn't be President and the country would be much better off.

This could be a response to what might come out of Houston. They certainly thought long and hard before doing it. It's an escalation.

It's also probably for show and denial for when they steal the election for Trump. I can hear it now, "Why would China want to help Trump? He's so tough on them," as the ink on the pro-Chinese trade deal dries.

He's creating a conflict, an enemy, for his supporters to hate. The CDC is the enemy, they were making up fake COVID numbers. Fauci has changed his mind on so many things, he's not to be trusted.

Someone on here said that Fauci is not someone to cower from a fight. I hope they were right.
