incoming NSA Mike Waltz on TikTok: "We also want an app that 170 million Americans really enjoy and that we were able to get our message out during the Trump campaign in a very powerful way."

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010. It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.
