It’s a Human RIGHT to be able to watch Cat Videos all day while you lounge around on the dole.

It’s IN the Constitution, if anyone would just LOOK!

TAKE A GOOD LOOK at all those ‘cell phone coverage’ maps.

LOTS of open spaces-—where there is NO coverage of any kind...

All of which means that we will now see a new charge on our internet service provider bills labeled “community service fee”, as WE will be paying for it.

Obama had Obama-phones, so Biden will have Biden-net. Free stuff always gets the vote.

Using your tax dollars to buy votes. Nice scam.

It's been working wonders since 1965, why should they stop now?

- ...and never leave home. Other than to vote Dem on Election Day, of course. -

By then there will probably be a way to vote on-line on your new free internet. And if you don't get your vote in on time someone else will do it for you. /s

I’m glad these Hispanic children will have the option to learn at home via online sites like https://www.setonhome.org/. No child should have to be a daily victim.
