FCC To End Broadband Discounts For Poor People After Republicans Undermine Program
The FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), part of the 2021 infrastructure bill, currently provides 23 million low-income Americans a $30 broadband discount. While it didn’t get m…
In short Republicans are going to screw over 23 million poor Americans because they don’t want Democrats getting political credit for helping them during an election season. And because our press is generally broken and afraid of calling a duck a duck, this is going to get dressed up as a genuine concern about wasteful spending by a party that’s long been a huge fan of no shortage of wasteful spending.

Oh look, the Dems doing more shitty things to the population at large without a single fucking thing pushing back against it.
Are the Dems in the room with you right now?
It's not really the Dems doing it, but they're also not doing anything to stop it.... which is what they always do.
Hell, it's what they'll do if Trump wins and becomes a Dictator. They won't stand in his way, and they'll be like "bUt tHiS iS wHaT pEoPlE vOtEd fOr" as if a bunch of uneducated morons deciding to vote away democracy isn't a fucking slap in the face to every future generation who can't vote Dictatorship away.
I have no doubt in my mind if Trump becomes President, you'll see the national Democrats jump on private jets and skip the country to leave us under his fucking orange shitstain thumb while going "Boo Hoo, so sad" on CNN Europe.
For people asking why I think this: Hey, remember Ray Nagin, the Democratic Mayor of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina? Remember how he bailed in a helicopter on the fucking city, leaving people to die, to go on national news and cry about the tragedy? Remember how he could have made plans to allow buses to be used to get people out of the city? Remember how he didn't? Pepperidge Farm Remembers.
Man, that sounds pretty awful. I guess everybody should just stay home in November then, huh, comrade?
Do you have anything to critique the position other than parroting the idea that anyone who rightly critiques Democrats must be a Russian plant?
As a voting US citizen who keeps voting Democrat because the other options are worse, I think it's fair for me to be upset that they're willing to allow fascism to happen and will not stand up to safeguard democracy when it matters (they haven't so far!), and it's a pretty sickening and conspiratorial mindset to accuse anyone of a differing opinion of being "pAiD bY rUsSiA."
It's pretty pathetic, so do you have a real argument or just more conspiracy minded bullshit that makes you sound as bad as the pizzagate chucklefucks?
"Everyone who disagrees with me is a Russian plant!!!" is getting pretty fucking old dude.
You don't have to be a Russian plant to regurgitate propagandist rhetoric specifically designed to temper votes and make people target the people trying to help vs the people hurting you.
