Mitch McConnell: Democrats' Net Neutrality Bill is 'Dead on Arrival' in Senate (cnet.com)

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters on Tuesday that the net neutrality bill Democrats are pushing through the House is "dead on arrival" in the Senate. From a report: The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote later today on the Save the Internet Act, which is the Democrats' proposal to restore Obama-era net neutrality protections that were repealed in 2017. It's expected to pass the Democrat-controlled House. McConnell was asked by reporters about whether the Senate would consider the bill once it passes. He indicated it would not, according to several tweets from reporters. McConnell's office confirmed the comment.

The Save the Internet Act restores rules adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in 2015. These rules would ban internet service providers from blocking or throttling access to the internet. And they would prevent ISPs from charging companies extra to deliver their online faster to consumers. The Democrats' bill restores these rules and also restores the FCC's authority to regulate and oversee broadband networks.

You have that backwards

Too bad that Trump's voter base just does not hear the incessant "fuck you, plebes" messages from the Republican party and their president.

It's funny you say that when the economy is booming and the populace is receiving exactly the opposite message from Trump.. which is why his approval numbers have been climbing.

Now the Democrats... they are the one who pretend there is not problem at the border while thousands a day stream over, or people die all over from horrific imported gang violence. Talk about a giant "fuck you" to the minorities they supposedly represent. Whose jobs will all of those incoming minors be taking after all... when you import lot of poor people, the poor people already here suffer worse than anyone from increases in crime and job shortages.
