“I pray no Republicans take these phones”
I would argue only Republicans are taking these phones. If you were trying to flee you would not want to have a Sat phone on you which can track you to within 3 ft.
If they were expecting a FF I think the House would be offered Sat phones. Or at least the House leadership. If the military is getting ready to step in they are going to want at least part of the Senate to present a unified front to the public and to assist with temporary succession scenarios until the 2024 election can be held.
Its definitely getting interesting.
And the thing is, in a nuclear war.the satellites will be destroyed .🤨
