DT's FEC guy is a strong opponent of net-neutrality.

Between this and everything else that's happened, I wonder if any of the young people who didn't bother to vote (only half as many voted for Hillary as for Obama) are regretting their choice now.

Radio, TV, newspapers and magazine. All that is left for them to control it all is the internet.
That will be prize #3 behind healthcare and Social Security, but the one they need most to maintain control.

We will play by the rules and lose net neutrality and never see it again (well at least until the revolution)

the agency they are selected to run.

They want to totally destroy the Federal government and give

They currently have control of the government of 33 states.
