Trump Picks Republican To Fill Empty Commissioner Seat At FCC (arstechnica.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: The Federal Communications Commission's empty slots are about to be filled. President Donald Trump will nominate Republican Brendan Carr to the FCC's fifth and final commissioner position, the White House announced last night. Carr served as FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai's Wireless, Public Safety, and International Legal Advisor for three years. After Trump elevated Pai to the chairmanship in January, Pai appointed Carr to become the FCC's general counsel. "Brendan has a distinguished record of public service, having worked at the agency for over five years, including most recently as the FCC's General Counsel," Pai said after the White House announcement. "In particular, Brendan's expertise on wireless policy and public safety will be a tremendous asset to the Commission."
I hear Melania's slot is empty these days.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
Why bother wasting emotional energy on this? At this point the FCC, much like the EPA, is just a political sham rubber-stamping anything big business wants, and there aint shit anyone can do about it.
Is there any surprise here, except perhaps from people who don't know how FCC commissioners are chosen?

Now as much as I hate Trump, I can't single him out for this. He's republican, therefore he will make republican nominations. ALL presidents, republican or democrat, do this. Yes, it's sad, yes, it's pathetic, but it's the nature of politics which are, by their very nature, discusting.
"Brendan has a distinguished record of public service, having worked at the agency for over five years, including most recently as the FCC's General Counsel"
So, Washington business as usual then?
Obvious Trump nominated a Republican. Democrats nominate Democrats. During a GOP presidency, there are 3 Republicans and 2 Democrats, and during a Democrat presidency, there are 2 Republicans and 3 Democrats. Why no civics?

LOL the internets are for taking people's money to make the rich richer and fuck the poor, we don't need no 'net neutrality'
That's the New FCC. Right up there with Kellyanne Conway's most recent 'let them eat cake' comment to the press.
If you're not already in the 1%, you're fucked! Just hand over your money and then kill yourself. Dasvidaniya, comrades!
They'd just get a token aligned party to fill any majority slots they needed.
For republicans, libertarian party.
For democrats, green party.
With their token seats filled, it would go back to business as usual, only with a slightly more complex cabal.
I'd let her take a seat on my face.
Don't forget Moscow Donald wants to bang his daughter.
already. TRUMP needs to show them he can take a joke. And the constant ridicule. And having small hands. And the attention span on a toddler.
Halright! Republicans!
You know, Roy Rogers' serials were always on Republic pictures. Why can't The Donald be cool like Roy Rogers? You know, that would be nice. It would be okay if he's not. But it would be better if he were.
Have we ever had such a whinny little bitch in the White House before? If that fat, orange piece of shit spent half the time learning the details of the policies heâ(TM)s advocating for as he does watching cable news and attacking his critics maybe heâ(TM)d have signed some legislation that actually does something to improve the lives of those who voted for him. Iâ(TM)ll be laughing hysterically as he continually signs legislation to screw the working class whites who voted for him. Iâ(TM)m particularly looking forward to the Medicad cuts. The quicker his base dies from lack of proper medical care the better off the country will be gforward.
coulda being the operative word.

Who really cares what this giant tub of frosting does any more? He is now the face of the GOP from coast to coast and his opposition only has to stand back and watch. His kind of stink does not wash out.

You are welcome on my lawn.
A George Soros' paid SOROS LOSER spirit cooker satanist is a stink that never goes away. Your kind, point-blank = a disgrace to this nation & if you don't like it?? Leave (please).
If you can't deal w/ losing (which I find surprising, it's all "your kind" every does in life, you'd think you'd be used to it by now, lol) & it's obvious you can't, leave!
&
IF you can't support our nation's rightfully elected President ("The RUSSIANS" lol, even CNN's supervising producer John Bonifield said it is)??? LEAVE!
(FAKE NAME online for your FAKE LIFE, get THIS straight, because it's truth: "Don't Ever Take Sides Against the Family Fredo" to quote the character Michael Corleone)
E.G. - I didn't like Bush/Cheney (especially these 2) or Barack Obama (To quote Christ? "I saw LIGHTNING FALLING FROM HEAVEN" as to my thoughts about him) but I dealt with it since they WERE our nation's presidents etc. on the grounds of what fictional character quote I used above from Mario Puzo's novels.
