"The Honorable Ajit Pai"
IUpvoteScience
If you live under a republican senator, I urge you to call the capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and they'll redirect you to your reps!
GrimDarkKing
"The Honorable Ajit Pai", more like "The Horrible A-shit Pai".
MatrimBloodyCauthon
We are going to lose. We need to plan our next step to reverse this, even if it's going to be hard as balls, because those fuckers...
helterskeltr
So when/if this goes through and isp’s start to throttle sites, their responsibility and old arguments for safe search become mote 1/2
helterskeltr
Therefore the first people to hit a child porn or other elicit site “accidentally” is going to make a mint in a lawsuit 2/2

"Honorable"

yeah, honourable, he's doing what he was paid the most to do.
ArtIsntSafe
All Democrats, remember this the next time Imgur wants to lecture me on how both parties are the same.
CommunistDarthVader
“The honourable”

If the vote scraps NN, I wonder how fast ISPs will change things. Like immediate next day throttling starts or a gradual decline of service

I don't believe any amount of protesting will protect it.

I feel as a revolt will happen if they kill our internet freedom!!!!

They could just pass a law...

I live in MI. Glad to see Stabenow taking a stand in this.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
This was decided months ago. The right people were paid, the plan was put into action. Although very noble of these Senators, it's for not.
beholder87
I was gonna correct not to naught, but then realized you ran out of characters. You get a pass from the grammar police, good sir or madam.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
Thank you good sir and/or madam, I was on 0.

It's not an ISPs job to do anything but provide me access to Internet. Fucking hosers
FloodingWaters
well, if the dems are for it, you can bet the reps are gonna do it outta spite, of nothing else
saxowoe
Anyone want to explain to me how the isn't any difference in parties?
Hammertulski
Ron Wyden was on OPB Radio today talking about this document - the contrast between his language and Pai's bumbling wordspew is incredible.
azazyel
I always can count on my Senators doing the right thing.

JumpTheCheeseburger
Both of my senators signed this so I have to give them credit.
johnlesliecmt
Bill Nelson is pretty much of a dick, totally bought and paid for, whoever is pulling his strings must be for net neutrality.

Angus King Jr? I'd eat
ImNotCreativeEnoughForAGoodUsername
No Portman, unfortunately, but thank god for Brown. He was one of the few people who shared my sentiments when I called
5NoteHalf
I don't think Portman's phone ever actually gets answered. I'm not sure he even has a staff. 6 yrs and I've never spoken to a human. O_o
Peppersworth
Yeah, I contacted them both about it, I like brown but we need to vote Portman out in 2022
moonbeam017
I'm all for being polite, but calling Ajit Pai, honorable? I didn't know we were into giving people titles they don't deserve or even abide
stormegedendarklordofall
I think it's a legal title
SwampyMcSwampFace
You are correct. "The Honorable" (abbreviated as Hon.) is a title given to most of the high-level government officials.
Jaymezians
Can confirm. Had to memorize chain of command and many Government brass with no military background have "The Honorable" put in front.
BohemianR0gue
As a moderate that typically votes GOP (not McConnell, fuck that guy), I am complete fucking pissed they are turning this into a partisan 1/
BohemianR0gue
battle, trying to keep everyone divided. 2/2
WearyGood
Fuck "honourable" Ajit Pai he's a (looking at my insult generator) communist dick socket.
Haidere1988
Nazi cock waffle* I would rather him be a communist
whyiseverythingupsidedown
Hoofwanking bunglecunt
MetalSkeletal
What's he got to do with this. He was great in Sherlock.
ultradongle
They're being the bigger people, it would have looked pretty unprofessional to say "communist dick socket Pai" he def is one though.
Mindshard
Guessing you don't know what communism is.
ultradongle
He's not a communist after further inspection. He is a dick socket though. Sorry, I am pretty inebriated at the moment.
Attylus
Nice.
TheOneTrueGalen
He is about as far from a communist as you can get. Capitalist dick socket would be more appropriate.
Gawky
Neo-corporate fedual oligarchy shill
MerToo
nono, he's a communist all right, just you're not a member of his "community", so fuck you. In the eyes. Peasant.
TheOneTrueGalen
That’s Neo-Feudalism. Try again.
Falos
Bought and sold. But maybe that was part of the generated insult.
TBDusername
Good to see our tax dollars aren’t completely wasted!
GIJew17
Not when Democrats decide how to spend them - all signatories are Democrats. Please take notice.
ferventailurophile
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
edasm
Did we total up how much the above-signed took in contributions from Big Telecom?
gremfrankenfrolek
Think about it for a minute: does it matter if they took money from an interest their fighting AGAINST?
edasm
It's duplicitous, so yes.
scarface98
Kind of yes. Cause they could be payed to pretend to fight against isps. While not really giving enough of a shit to do something real
scarface98
They need to propose a law to enforce net neutrality. They have the ability.
SwampyMcSwampFace
Kind of. Even if they could pass something (it wouldn't get a vote), they would still need Trump's signature, and he's pushing NN repeal.
TeddyBearLord
https://www.archives.gov/files/legislative/resources/education/veto/background.pdf but overriding a veto is possible
SirReginaldDukeOfChutney
Is he? I haven’t heard anything about him pushing for he repeal. (I’m not saying he is or isn’t. I just haven’t heard anything)
SwampyMcSwampFace
He appointed Pai, a firm opponent of NN, for a reason. If he didn't want this, Trump could fire Pai or just order him not to do it.
scarface98
From what I’ve seen he doesn’t want net neutrality in itself to be repealed. Just specifically title 2 cause of just how much power it 1/

In case anyone else was curious: B Nelson (D-FL) B Schatz (D-HI) J Reed (D-RI) G Peters (D-MI) P Murray (D-WA) S Whitehouse (D-RI) 1/?

Aw, man, I was hoping some Republicans would have signed on. I guess spines are liabilities.

Thank you so much. Very important to note party affiliation here (all Democrats)

Fuckin Al Franken messin with my OCD
IceWeaselX
Fucking Al Franken would upset a lot of people, really.
metts
Probably didn't actually sign it, it's usually done by a machine and some unpaid intern could of misaligned it
gracefalls
Or the unpaid intern used a signature stamp.
SwampyMcSwampFace
Probably an intern that fucked up with the auto-pen. I did that a few times when I was on the Hill (years ago).
Morg729
Touching Margaret hassan now I see
LordLchaim
Looks like a stamp.

"Al, sign here." "I'll sign wherever I damn well want, I'm out in a week."
