    On Monday, prominent Democrats including the Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren demanded an investigation of possible criminal corruption involving Starlink, citing “the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision to cancel a $2.4bn contract with Verizon to upgrade air traffic control communications, and to pay … Musk’s Starlink to help manage US airspace”.

    The SpaceX and Tesla billionaire denies conflicts of interest. Trump has said if conflicts are found, they will be addressed.

    That’s like the fox promising to make sure the henhouse is safe.

    I don’t know how there could not be a conflict of interest.

    How many government contracts are we going to give him to prop up his falling stocks? And Congress is completely useless because we have had bystanders leading the Dems that have led to Americans not wanting to waste votes on them? That even when they have leverage or the majority they don’t push as hard as possible?

    If the government shutting down allows the President to do literally anything (since that’s what good ol’ Chuck has used as an excuse) why haven’t we seen this happen before? Why have Dems always held back instead of attacking constantly?

    I reckon the White House should contract The Boring Company to drill a tunnel between the Oval Office and the toilet in Mar-a-Lago.

    And possibly install a Neuralink chip in cheeto’s brain too.

    I mean since the White House is now a Musk showroom, why not go all the way…

    This is why they came out with the new $10/month for 10 gb plan. They know the White House isn’t actually going to use it.

    “In the year 2045 this satellite dish behind me, which is being dedicated today, will still be here supplying expensive, inefficient internet … A generation from now, this satellite dish can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken or it can be just a small part of one of the grimmest and most authoritarian adventures ever undertaken by the American people” - Donald Trump
