President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The President is serious by definition. That's exactly the problem right now. Trump would be a more or less normal Internet rando, but he's not that anymore.

 

Sociopath or Psychopath?

 

Di Blasio, along with the other 50 or or so big city mayors who have come out strongly in favor of keeping net neutrality, have staked consumer-friendly position that promotes fairness among all Internet competitors and maximum choices for end users.

Net neutrality is overwhelmingly popular among the public and, it seems, only large businesses, their well-greased Republican friends and libertarian apologists for them are in favor of what would be an anti-consumer, corporate handout.

The Internet belongs to all of us. It was built with our tax dollars and nobody should be able to set up toll systems and inevitably limit our choices.

 

Seriously! If clean water and clean air are not a fundemental right, The Internet is not. Children with diseases aren’t entitled to medical care and sick children aren’t entitled to medicine so it’s a joke to think the Internet is a fundamental right. Homelessness, malnutrition and mental health are not the business of government so how could internet access be a right?

It should be, but there are more YFs and T rumps than normal thoughtful sentient people, so Christian principles are just for gun worshipping on Sunday morning not real people. THANKS YF, see you at Dachau when you get your new job, heckling victims as your friends turn on the gas.

 

Really? He does this and you all ignore it like it's nothing? You're losing your touch ...

 

Sometimes I think you don’t have the first fucking clue about what you’re talking about.

Other times I know it.

 

Why is it the view of unserious person. The internet is surplanting the letter mail a means of communication. The United States Post Office was established in 1792 during the Presidency of George Washngton and free delivery of the mail in 1863 during the Presidency of Abraham Lincoln. Those two were serious people, They thought it important to establish communication that was accessible to the entire population. Why is internet in 2017 differnt than mail 200 years ago?

 

Let’s all argue over what “fundamental right” means.

Meanwhile, Flynn has flipped.

“The internet’s being regulated in thus-and-such a manner is a fundamental right” is not the argument of a serious person.

 

Conservatives want the internet regulated because the ideas expressed are too complicated for them to process. And when Republicans want it regulated, they mean content as well as access.
