Someone petition Congress to ban Marvel Rivals after TikTok gets chopped.
LOL @ChinaUncensored, You can't asked to be brainwashed, dumbass; it's like asking to be raped. If you ask someone to brainwash you, it means they've got no further work to do with you and you got yourself there all along. This is just another example of confused definitions in the author thinking that brainwashed means to independently arrive at a pro-China conclusion... in a Western society that is anti-China.We really, really need the Funny Stuff thread back:
you can research what is Orban in Arabic system. regarding Ukraine war. Putin will have to take into account many variables and it will depend how much Putin can push Russians in certain direction. some of the most advance thinking regarding that soft Power throughout history is from Russian and it is Russian who picked upon MBS creating New Europe and writing a book about it. so this topic of New Europe is important regarding Ukraine conflict. Arabs know where the official Ukraine and Russian borders are so the coverage is adjusted. This Kursk was given to Akhmet special forces highly like to show a culture and advertise a behavior in public.All the hints dropped about China playing an integral role in ending the Ukraine war is obvious, remember Orban's trips? China has also been dropping hints about China-US past cooperation regarding WWII.

I am exposing the conspiracy. The CCP first created TikTok, knowing the US Government would ban it. They also readied the strategically named Little Red Book. When TikTok got banned, the American audience flowed to the China headquartered Little Red Book. So CCP stole all the personal data. It was all a 10D chess.
US politicians be like:

Trump says he will create ‘External Revenue Service’ to collect revenue from foreign sources
Jan 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Tuesday he will create a new government agency called the External Revenue Service "to collect tariffs, duties, and all revenue" from foreign sources as he readies new import tariffs ahead of his inauguration next week.
Trump said in a social media post he would create the department on Jan. 20, the day he takes office as president for a second term, adding that Americans have been taxed for too long by the Internal Revenue Service.
"Through soft and pathetically weak Trade agreements, the American Economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the World, while taxing ourselves. It is time for that to change," the Republican said in a post on Truth Social.
"We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share."
A spokesperson for Trump's transition team could not be immediately reached for comment to clarify Trump's statement or explain how the new agency would work.
Trump did not specify whether the new agency would replace collections of tariffs, duties, fees and fines by U.S. Customs and Border Protection or collection of taxes on foreign corporate and individual income by the IRS.
It also was unclear whether the move would create additional government bureaucracy, which would appear to go against the plans of Trump's informal Department of Government Efficiency, an effort led by billionaire Elon Musk and former biotech executive Vivek Ramaswamy aimed at finding trillions of dollars in budget savings by streamlining government operations.
During his presidential campaign, Trump often mused about replacing U.S. income taxes with tariff revenue, but the numbers do not add up, according to private economists and forecasters.
The conservative-leaning Tax Foundation estimates that a 20% universal tariff on all imports into the U.S. would generate $4.5 trillion over 10 years before negative economic effects that would cut net collection to $3.3 trillion over a decade. This compares to IRS tax collection of $16 trillion to $18 trillion every year.
Senator Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, blasted Trump's proposal.
"No amount of silly rebranding will hide the fact that Trump is planning a multi-trillion-dollar tax hike on American families and small businesses to pay for another round of tax handouts to the rich," Wyden said.
Trump has proposed a 10% tariff on global imports, a 25% punitive duty on imports from Canada and Mexico until they clamp down on drugs and migrants crossing borders into the U.S. and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods.
Trade experts say the duties would upend trade flows, raise costs and draw retaliation against U.S. exports.
