i’m starting to doubt these AP sources… well i always did but this time they’re saying things i want to here….

but what did he do? did he call up Cox cable and have them install a line to the Pentagon? are they letting random contractors with a hard hat and a clipboard run wires straight into the pentagon?

it seems physically impossible to me….

pics or it didnt happen

pretty sure the pentagon has fancy radio equipment….

fascist cronyism doesn't require everyone to be a crony. just enough people to flummox the people who actually give a shit. if boozey pete had some high ranking DOGE dope install a starlink connection point in his office, and got enough high ranking officials to be cool with it, that's enough to get it done even if most people there find this to be a problem.

it's not about the bad ones doing evil. it's about convincing the good ones there's nothing to be done. as the saying goes, all evil needs is for good men to do nothing. well. fascism is mostly about manufacturing consent by convincing you to do nothing
