I have this feeling he'd be a lot more negotiable than Trump, though (as he is actually a sane person and not a deluded, frothing egotist), and probably would not have made Ajit Pai FCC commissioner.
I mean, really, this is a congressional thing, not as much a Presidential thing. Congress was trying this nonsense under Obama as well, and it wasn't Obama that changed their minds.
A plate of mouldy cheese nachos found six months later behind the counter when you finally notice the smell would've been a better alternative to who got voted in.
What website? That was just something I made up.
Oh man, that site had me in stitches back in the day.
More than you might have originally thought, Gas:
FCC will also order States to scrap their own net neutrality laws
That oughtta take care of that pesky 10th Amendment “loophole.”

As a follow-up: Mugabe resigned.
A word to the wise: when you are a sub-Saharan dictator, don't piss off your military. It's not good for your career.
A paywall, but I managed to send it to Pocket. Is counter-journalism a thing? It seems like it shouldn't need to exist but here we are.

In response, Erdogan jails 45000 long term healthcare nurses and preschool teachers for sedition.
Apparently the Senate is literally rewriting pieces of the "tax cut" bill in the middle of voting because they found pieces of it that are illegal? I don't know, but it's looking like an even bigger shit show.[DOUBLEPOST=1512087770,1512087679][/DOUBLEPOST]Here it is.

I'm fairly sure you're kidding, but with Turkey these days, I can't be sure. PLEASE tell me you're kidding.
Ain't that the shitter that you can't immediately tell.
Jury acquits Mexican man in San Francisco pier killing
The policies that encourage or defend Open Borders and Sanctuary Cities mean that Kate Steinle was killed as a direct result of such.
What the ever-living fuck? This guy is the poster child for why both Sanctuary Cities AND Open Borders are terrible ideas. From the article:
- Been deported 5 times already - 7 times felon
- Was already arrested but released before ICE could get there because of the Sanctuary City status of San Francisco
- Specifically stated that he went to San Francisco BECAUSE he couldn't get deported from there
The policies that encourage or defend Open Borders and Sanctuary Cities mean that Kate Steinle was killed as a direct result of such.
