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."

    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.
