He also warned he will ban the app, which is owned by China's ByteDance, on 15 September if there is no deal. Nice thing you have going there with TikTok, Bytedeance. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it...

The President's Ananlyst -- a Hoot. James Cobur et al. Google review. (McGuffin: Then.. The Phone Co. was running everything; sight-gag: a Phone-jack-in-shoes) What we need NOW is, The President's Taxidermist ..a Cabinet-level position--needed now as never before. Ed; Coburn, not Marvin (similar psyches though!) Edited by Ashton Aug. 5, 2020, 01:08:15 AM EDT Expand All History
