Because forcing everything to go over satellites is so much more reliable than cables on the ground...

Republicans are basically like rabid dogs. They're going to do the predictable thing of fascism. Democrats are the ones that refused to put it down when they had a chance and instead tried to reason with it.

I skimmed it and still gave up half way, it is pure drivel.

I think the 20 billion is the full amount that was appropriated in the IRA, to be disbursed to various NGOs. Part of which went to the specific organisation lead by Abrams. At least that's what I got by paying attention to the specific weasel words used in the 'article', chances are they're outright fabricating stuff and even that's a lie, of course.

Yep, you're never going to hear the end of 'Gold Bars' or whatever from conservative media, to the point that it becomes shorthand and they just have to repeat those 2 words to get the Pavlov reaction from the base who won't even know the actual story it's based on.

It's like the Seth Rich thing they did to Hillary.

He hid the gold by melting it and turning it into commodes.

And while the title mentions gold, the body of the article seems to indicate it's just money in a bank account? I don't see the gold thing repeated again.

They're actually talking about building it on the same satellite platform that starlink uses. This is going to be another one of the thousands of ways the government is going to be financing the biggest welfare queen.

Sharing intelligence with a country that is threatening you with tariffs at the drop of the hat seems stupid to begin with.

Maybe it doesn't work 100% of the time and they don't want to get sued if you trip over something.

Yep, Democrats had 4 years to lock the guy up, and they didn't, because it was more important to look bipartisan and pick a Republican AG.
