The White House launched a TikTok account, as President Donald Trump continues to permit the Chinese-owned platform to operate in the United States despite a law requiring its sale.

"L'etat, c'est moi"

What’s the reference? Did he get decapitated?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_XIV

It is the one world famous quote of him. It rhymes in French, therefore it usually remains untranslated. He declared with this sentence what historians later called absolutism.

My French isn't great, but I'm fairly confident I know how to pronounce this. It's only a slant rhyme, right?

A billionaire pretending to be people's voice. A wolf pretending to be sheeps' voice.

pretending to be people's voice.

He does not really intend to speak for the people in the way a lawyer or other representative speaks for you, works in your favor, towards your good.

He intends to replace your voice, but pursuing his own goals. And when he has spoken, then nobody else needs to speak anymore. It is sufficiently spoken.

What a piece of shit. No big revelation, just the usual.

Context

The Flash version of Zombo.com

Zombo.com is a single-serving site created in 1999. The site parodies Flash introductory web pages that play while the rest of a site's content loads. Zombo took the concept to a humorous extreme, consisting of one long introductory page that leads to an invitation to sign up for a newsletter.

Wonder how quickly you'd get banned if you just reacted to every video with "where's the Epstein files"

“I am your noise”

For a bunch of relative low quality humans qualifying for the "you".

I am your diaper boy, hear me fill them!

Here in his shrine. That they have forgotten. Here do we toil. That we might remember. By night we reclaim. What by day was stolen. Far from ourselves. He grows ever near to us.

This is not my voice
Just something synthesized
These are not my words

Something's speaking for me
I need to be released
I need to be free

This corny old dude is just recycling old commercials. Pepsi, the voice of a new generation. Btw if you're old enough to remember that commercial you definitely should know better than to trust Don.
