FOND DU LAC – A 19-year-old man accused of setting fire to a building in Fond du Lac early Sunday that included Republican U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman’s office cited the TikTok ban as a motive in the incident, according to authorities.

The Fond du Lac Police Department said the Menasha man was arrested after being found near a strip mall, 525 N. Peters Ave., that contained Grothman’s district office.

    The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the ban, dude, on both sides of the aisle, and every other House member in Wisconsin voted in favor of it. Your one legislator is not the deciding factor on this.

      It was inserted into a bill for foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel. That’s what had bipartisan support.

        Hardly. It even had a unanimous supreme court decision to uphold the ban. The ban had bipartisan support up until what’s his name started jerking everyone around.

        Legally, this is all well-covered ground with the Grindr divest or ban law that was wrapped up the week before COVID lockdowns started. So most people forgot about it.

        Because there’s money involved, 47 wants to spin everyone around in hopes of ByteDance changing their mind and selling to one of his tech bro campaign funders so that big financial benefits from knowing the president can stay in day 1.

        More reasons not to vote for it. Quite the flex to say ‘I had to vote for it, because it was in the must-pass genocide bill!’.

          Again with this “Ukraine is committing a genocide against Russians?”

            Israel is the one committing a genocide, why would you think it’s Ukraine? Did I miss an ICC ruling?
