Why would you not want a country judged on it's best and brightest?

A country should be judged by how it takes care of the least amongst us. Not by who has the most money. Just sayin

Chinese-Owned TikTok Back after Trump Pledge

www.wired.com

Two months into trying to understand why a mob of angry protesters violently stormed the US Capitol, a significant influence remains overlooked: TikTok.

In the search for accountability, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube"the perennial havens for disinformation and radicalization"were joined on center stage by a younger fringe platform: Parler. At its apex, the temporarily deprovisioned Parler had fewer than 20 million accounts and peaked at just under 3 million daily active users. TikTok has more than 800 million active users across the world and 50 million in the US who log in every single day.

I don't really care what happens either way. I just find it funny that a bunch of people who contribute nothing beneficial to society lost their incomes after they quit their jobs to become TikTok influencers.

They and their followers find huge benefits for their content. BTW a crap ton of the content creators are just your average person. They aren't people like Kim Kardashian. Besides Tiktok became their job. Why do you care how the average person makes their money as long as they do so legally??

Biden says Equal Rights Amendment is Ratified

According to the prevailing legal interpretation, a state generally cannot rescind its ratification of a constitutional amendment once it has been formally ratified, as the Constitution does not explicitly allow for this action and the process is considered final once a state votes to ratify; however, some legal scholars argue that a state may be able to withdraw its ratification before the amendment is fully ratified by the required number of states.
Key points to consider:
Article V of the Constitution:
This article outlines the amendment process, but does not mention the ability of a state to rescind its ratification.
Precedent:
While some states have attempted to rescind their ratification votes in the past, particularly in the case of the Equal Rights Amendment, these actions have not been recognized as legally valid.

Biden says Equal Rights Amendment is Ratified

journals.law.harvard.edu

Although the Archivist at the time, David Ferriero, had previously expressed support for the ERA, he refused to certify and publish the ERA, citing the Trump administration OLC opinion. Virginia, Nevada, and Illinois sued. They argued that Ferriero had a ministerial duty to certify and publish the ERA, because the Constitution did not grant the Archivist (or any executive branch official) the power to nullify state ratifications of constitutional amendments. The fact that the ratifications came after the deadline did not invalidate them. The states argued that Congress's decision to place the deadline outside the text of the amendment"a departure from Congress's previous practice of placing deadlines in the text of the amendment itself"was pivotal. Furthermore, Article V of the Constitution specifically empowers Congress to do only two things: (1) "propose" amendments, and (2) select one of two "modes" of ratification (state conventions or ratification by state legislatures). It did not empower Congress to place external constraints on how states ratified. Unlike a deadline outside the text,

Insouciant because I feel it's redundant. We have the equal protection clause and we have the 19th Amendment. I'm hard-pressed to conjure up an activity that a man can do by law that a woman cannot, from a Constitutional standpoint.

TikTok Shuts Down in United States

www.lawfaremedia.org

June 20th, President Donald Trump showed up in Tulsa, Oklahoma for his first campaign rally after a three-month hiatus. Before the rally, the Trump campaign bragged about the million tickets that had been pre-requested. But when the rally started only 6200 people showed up at the arena, and the President addressed a sea of empty chairs. Politically active young people used TikTok to encourage others to reserve tickets but not show up, thereby forcing Trump to play to an empty room.

Soon thereafter, President Trump released an Executive Order banning Chinese applications TikTok and WeChat in the United States and ordering TikTok's sale to an American company. He argued the companies could release personal data to the Chinese government and therefore represented a national security threat. TikTok now is in talks with Oracle for the sale of its American operations.

But what if there's another reason why Trump wants to turn off TikTok, something driven not by high-minded policy but by something as simple as hurt feelings.

A theory explaining all this has quietly and persistently circulated among TikTokers since the ban was first discussed a few weeks ago: What if this has nothing to do with China, nothing to do with national security? What if this does have everything to do with Trump's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in June? The event was supposed to mark a return to the campaign assemblies that the president covets, a comeback show of force with nearly 20,000 people in attendance after months of Covid 19 lockdown. And it was totally ruined for him by TikTokers and other young people online who coordinated a campaign to register for tickets to the event and never show up. So, what if the ban on TikTok is retaliation for that?

I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your ignorance is showing. If memory serves me correctly. It was Trump himself who started this TikTok ban talk when a bunch of teenagers played him like a fool by ordering a bunch of tickets to the Tulsa Oklahoma rally that Trump held. They went in TikTok to coordinate so they could prevent Trump from having a large crowd there. He got pissed off and said TikTok should be banned because his feelings were hurt. Nah he started this.
