    The act was written to help many different groups, including veterans, older people and disabled and rural communities.

    President Trump on Thursday attacked a law signed by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. aimed at expanding high-speed internet access, calling the effort “racist” and “totally unconstitutional” and threatening to end it “immediately.”

    I don't understand this when it helps Americans from all races, veterans, and elderly Americans.

    Stupidity. No good rationale for getting rid of it.

    Interestingly enough, the President does not get to decide what is, or is not Constitutional. Moron and racist scumbag taking another page out of the "How to marginalize minorities while ruling" book

    Gotta love when the head of the Executive branch, after issuing hundreds of questionable EOs, announces that an actual signed law is unconstitutional and threatens to end it immediately (presumably via EO, which would in fact be unconstitutional).

    So now Krasnov "knows" what is or isn't unconstitutional?
