I think it's pretty clear Hunter Biden has been sleazily profiting from the position of his father.

What's missing is Joe Biden's involvement.

If your politics are against Joe Biden, I guess you can just kind of imagine that he must have participated.

IMO, we should find corruption in politicians flat unacceptable, even if -- especially if -- they are on our own "side".

You may want to become concerned when the president can unilaterally contravene laws passed by congress and validated by the Supreme Court.

It seems prudent to say given this seems to the prevailing narrative: this did not happen. The law is still in effect and Tiktok is still banned[0]. The service shutdown that many experienced yesterday was one Tiktok performed voluntarily, presumably in protest of the ban. Tiktok's decision to restore the service was one they could have made at any point after the shutdown, regardless of any statements made by the then-President-Elect.
