The legislation received wide bipartisan support, with both Republicans and Democrats showing an eagerness to appear tough on China.

The House on Wednesday passed a bill with broad bipartisan support that would force TikTok’s Chinese owner to either sell the hugely popular video app or be banned in the United States.

Republican leaders fast-tracked the bill through the House with limited debate, and it passed on a lopsided vote of 352-65, reflecting widespread backing for legislation that would take direct aim at China in an election year.

      I am. Thank you for noticing.

      It’s batshit crazy the people in charge are more worried about a fucking APP than people going hungry.

      Do you not think it’s insane that a majority of the house voted for something so stupid, but they can’t even agree on wether or not a child should have to pay to eat at a building they are mandated to be at by said government…?

      I suggest you reread my original comment. I added a TLDR for people like you who somehow lost the plot of the comment.
