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.
Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I don't think the argument is that Trump is himself a racist, it's that he is an amoral narcissistic demagogue who caters to and encourages the worst in his constituency, including racists, sexists, chauvinists, xenophobes, and anti-intellectuals.
Besides, racists tolerate 'lesser races' so long as they occupy lower rungs on the social ladder. Only when racists have to compete with or serve their 'racial inferiors' does the bile start to flow.
How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
You're still whining about Clinton?
Please, find something more relevant to complain about, trumpbots.
>Obama isn't president anymore, but Trump is still fighting him and still can't understand why he's losing.
The answer, of course, is because he is basically shadowboxing the specter of Obama and not smart enough to know that the only thing you may achieve if you do punch your shadow is a broken fist.
