Analysis Although the Trump administration is in its final days, the destructive partisan politics it has persistently fanned are still in full effect at the FCC.
On Wednesday, the Senate Commerce Committee passed the presidential nomination of Nathan Simington as a commissioner of America’s communications regulator 14-12 along party lines. That was despite serious questions over Simington’s involvement in a widely pilloried effort to get the FCC to create new rules governing the shield used by online platforms to avoid legal repercussions from what their users share, give or take a few caveats.
Simington was an author of the brief sent from the Department of Commerce (DoC) to the FCC, requesting that it look at Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (DCA). Policymakers are appalled that a semi-autonomous regulator is being pushed to do Congress’s job and effectively create new law at the urging of the White House.
Paywalled but you get the idea. trump would be selling off intel for cash just as sure as he is orange.
And every one of his recent appointees are a national security risk because they wouldn’t hesitate to funnel intel to him either. Firewalls will never be more important.
Did…did they put huge silver Rolls Royce labels on the engines to make it look like having Rolls Royce engines is a luxury rather than the standard for many passenger jets?
I’m sure there will be zero repercussions from not performing maintenance on a complicated piece of machinery for four years… didn’t want to spend the money, hahaha. The list of things you endlessly shovel money into goes car, boat, airplane, helicopter.
If he gets to take it home, he won’t read it, but it will be copied and sent to those who will. If he has to read it there, and has had his phone taken away, I picture him trying (and failing) to use a spy camera his handlers have given him. He will be caught, but the further embarrassment to the US will be worth it to Putin.
And a plastic blue strip over the top of the windshield with letters picked out in white reading THE DON on one side and MELANIE* on the other, tho of course her letters are peel-off and easily changed.
My first thought was “truck nuts” but the image search “truck nuts for airplanes” was 1) rather disturbing, and 2) none of the images would render properly here.
So you’re welcome.
I mean… did they literally just plug in well-known roads in Cobb co? I think they are just made to lose Cobb and Gwinnett… but fuck them…we got those counties now.
