Trump Renominates Ajit Pai For Five More Years at the FCC (theverge.com)

According to Axios, Bloomberg, and several other publications, President Trump has nominated FCC chairman Ajit Pai for a second five-year term at the commission. "Pai's current term ended last June, though he's been able to stick around through the end of the year even without reconfirmation," reports The Verge. From the report: The nomination comes just days after Pai sat down with the president for a meeting, during which they're said to have "reconnected" but without actually discussing anything the commission is actively considering. Pai will need confirmation from the Senate for the nomination to be approved. He was first nominated in 2012 to fill the slot of a commissioner. With approval, he'll be able to stick around through at least the entirety of Trump's current term. The question now is when Trump will nominate people to fill the two slots still vacant at the commission. The FCC remains short staffed, with only three out of five seated leaders, which somewhat limits how quickly Pai is able to get through his agenda.

That's a good start Mister Psycho - but a job in our administration does require a few other qualifications. Let me just verify these:

Do you have a record of saying flagrantly racist or white-supremacist things in public ? Any kind of formal proof ? An endorsement from a neo-nazi leader or a letter of condemnation from a civil rights leader maybe ?

Are you opposed to the taste of an old man's rectum ? Would you be unwilling to participate in the daily one-hour ass-kissing ceremony with the president ?

How are you at telling bald-faced lies to people who can literally SEE the proof of your lie as you tell it ?

When it's your turn to blow Putin - spit or swallow ? Please note there is only one right answer.

Any history of involvement with notoriously corrupt multi-nationals ? We're especially keen on Goldman-Sachs graduates.

How are you at wildly inflammatory and dangerous rhetoric ?

Any past history of actively trying to undermine or destroy the very office you are now seeking to represent ?
