Trudeau announced tariffs are paused after an agreement on fentanyl and organized crime was reached. Seems it was all just a ham-fisted way to get Canada to agree to basically what Canada was proposing already, but whatever. Hang on for round 2 in 30 days.

Trump and his administration don't see the world as it is, they see it as they wish and imagine it to be. Those visions aren't even the same or cohesive. They are delusional at their core, more wishful thinking than realpolitik. Poison pablum the US populace laps up as they chant "USA! USA! USA!"

Always. Every single time.

Poillievre would happily gargle Trump's balls if he would only ask. Just 2 days ago, he was still opposing what he is now trying to take credit for. Why? He was falling in the polls. Until 2 days ago, he thought being Trump's lickspittle would win for him. Now, he just doesn't want to be trounced.

This is the way.

Unfortunately, very believable. "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." And here we are.

I get that, I really do. I sympathize. My response wasn't to that, it was to Hank asking someone outside the US to do something because he can't access TikTok. Except, he can do what he was asking someone else to do. Be angry at the ban, 100%. But you can still access TikTok, if you want to.

I'm not trying to mansplain, I'm just pointing out other countries have done this and a new account t plus VPN gets you access to TikTok. www.wired.com/story/how-to....
How to Get Around the US TikTok Ban
TikTok is now unavailable in the United States—and getting around the ban isn’t as simple as using a VPN. Here’s what you need to know.

Yeah, that's true. But if you still want to access it, that plus a VPN makes it possible. It's how the ban has been circumvented in other countries.

As a Canadian, who is scrolling TikTok *right now*, I guarantee you TikTok still works outside the US. It is banned for US based users, not worldwide. Ger a VPN, and you can use it too.

That's literally how they work.
January 19, 2025 at 3:35 PM
Dude, just get a VPN. *You* can be the person in some other country.
