If only there was this thing called "net neutrality" to make sure ISPs had to allow access to all kinds of legal content on equal footing. Oh well!
More seriously, as long as the ISP is open and upfront about it, I don't see why they couldn't. I can imagine an ISP releasing a product that deliberately cuts off access to anything lewd, for the deeply religious weak willed. And I'm sure it'd be a success, too.

...I could go on with the list of all the stuff I've found when people come to me with, "Why isn't my Internet working?" but I feel like those are the ones I see most often.

You know I still can't get over the fact we dealt with a big impeachment scandal over lying about a blowjob, and later had to deal with nearly two years of committee hearings about Benghazi, but now that the Capitol was violently attacked these same jokers are like "We have to unify and move on, you can't just impeach him."
Fuck you.
I have already argued with some people saying it was "Not Trump's fault they attacked.", but here is the thing. Words matter. I don't care if Trump literally wanted them to attack or not, because in the end he used his platform to spew months of bullshit over a stolen election, continued to say he won in a landslide, kept talking about how they have to be "strong" and "fight" or that the country is going to fail under Biden, that he is a communist, that he works for China, etc. Trump and his cronies are not going to be allowed to sweep this under the rug. You guys built this up thinking it was all just politics, but words have consequences.
There will be no unity without justice.

...where only four people died, don't forget. As opposed to the five who died during the insurrection (and the unknown number of additional deaths we will see due to creating a critical mass of coronavirus).

There's a reason the black people in South Africa didn't just go "oh hey, Kumbaya". The Truth and Reconciliation Committee is still considered better than appeasement or lynching as a way of dealing with years of hurt caused by one part of the country to the other.

With all likelihood, that ISP is a number of people's only choice for internet. That's the problem.
"But you can call and have them whitelist it"
Yeah, and have your name put on a list as a deviant, and potentially made a target for violent Trump supporters.
I never said I thought it was a good idea - quite on the contrary. It's horrible.

Republican Congressman told his supporters to threaten other elected officials:
Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn told a Turning Point USA crowd last month to 'lightly threaten' lawmakers if they didn't support claims of voter fraud
"Call your congressman and feel free, you can lightly threaten them and say, you know what, if you don't start supporting election integrity, I'm coming after you, Madison Cawthorn is coming after you, everybody's coming after you,"

PragerU reminds me how much I hate any group that adds "University" to it's name even though it's not an actual school. You know they do it just to make some dumb shit think they are accredited while Prager posts lecture videos discussing how nice slavery was for black people in the south.
As long as OANN is an option, dropping Fox News wouldn't really affect things. Comfort seeking conservatives would just be pushed to the more extreme alternative.
And, this isn’t that far from me, I actually have relatives in this town. Not sure if they go to the church or not.

Never mind. This was a procedural vote, not the actual impeachment vote.

When I become an operative for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party I never could have imagined that Leopards would eat MY face!
I'm hurting the wrong people!
Congratulations, numbnuts, you now understand what terrorism's end goal is.
