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."
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?

Two would be better.
But then we'd have to admit that there are more than two political parties. Can't let the voters discover that!
How can we continue to believe in a just universe and freedom to eat crackers if we have no ale?
there aint shit anyone can do about it.
Nonsense. We can reduce the reelection rates in congress every two years. We can completely clean the house of democrats AND republicans IF we want to. The government is us... So shut the fuck up, and vote them out!
And this is surprising to you? All it means is that people generally like THEIR Rep and Senators. The ones they vote for.
Just because I like the guy I vote for doesn't mean I like the 431 people that the rest of you clowns voted for....
