Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

I am leaning very strongly towards the theory that this text exchange was scripted as a way to absolve the boyfriend. It’s almost exactly what Walter White did at the end of Breaking Bad. This feels like a strategy they cooked up from watching too much TV.

Jon Stewart screams 'OMFG' and is rendered speechless after hearing all 14 steps to apply for 'Build Back Better' funding: Ezra Klein: "We have to issue the notice funding opportunity within 180 days that's step one. Step Two: States who want to participate must submit a letter of intent. After they do that, they can submit a request for up to $5 million in planning grants. Then the NTIA Step Four has to review and approve an award again. States who want to participate must submit that letter of intent. Step three: "They can request up to $5 million in planning grants. Just planning, just planning. Step four : "The requests are reviewed, approved and awarded by the NTIA." States must submit a five year action plan. All 56 had passed through at least step 5, it took more than 3 years. [Step 6] Then the FCC, must publish the broadband data maps before NTIA allocates funds. So having done the no vote. So the letters of intent, the the the request for planning grants, then the review approval and awarding of the planning grants, then the five year action plans in between that the federal government has to put forward a map saying where it thinks we need rural broadband subsidies. And then, of course, the states need an opportunity to challenge the map for accuracy. step seven So then the NTIAhas to use the FCC maps to make allocation decisions. It's hard even to talk about this, man. Step eight is states must submit an initial proposal to the NTIA." Jon Stewart: "But then what was the five year plan and what the fuck did they apply for?"

States must publish their own map and allow internal challenges to their own map. Step 11 the NTIA must review and improve the challenge results and the final map. So the NCAA has put forward a map. Step 12 states must run a competitive sub granting process." Jon Stewart: "Oh, my fucking God. At step 12. After all this has been done!?" Ezra Klein: "Step 13 States must submit a final proposal. This all all the proposals weren't enough to NTIA. Now that goes to three of 56. Step 14 the NTIA must review and approve the state's final proposal. And that is three of the 56 jurisdictions. And states are there." Jon Stewart: "I'm speechless." Jon just learned why "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'"
