Biden Admin Sought Power to Spy on TikTok Users, Moderate Content:

Turns out suing James was a bad business decision.
A recent court filing by Project Veritas suggests there have been settlement negotiations to end the lawsuit.

"I'm an important bicyclist deserving your respect, and should be granted all the rights and privileges of a car at all times!" said Skuzz to the parade of honking automobiles behind him. "But also, I don't carry insurance for when I cause an accident and would like to disregard traffic lights and signs whenever I want. It is my divine right! NOW STARE AT MY SPANDEXED BUTT FOR THE NEXT 30 MILES AND LIKE IT!"...
