Did you watch Net Neutrality fall today?
Image credit to Spencer Peltz, Twitter @conveyor_PELTZ
Edit: Today’s vote went as probably most of us expected. This is just the beginning of our battle for the net. Call your congressional members and say that you want net neutrality enshrined as law by the people who represent us, not some non-elected officials. It’s that important. This was my first post, let alone FP post. I wish it never had to be.

Is it a stretch to say that I wish he‘d be indicted for obstruction of justice? Y’know, not cooperating in the AG’s investigation and all.

So what was that recess that security advised? Was there a bomb threat or something?
TKRBrownstone
It was in fact a bomb threat.

This is so disgusting. This limits our freedom, and yet freedom is what our nation is based on? What a joke.
ChrisDorin
Besides the handful of clowns passing it, are there actual legislators who are on board with this? It seems no voter is for it.
TKRBrownstone
The updated net neutrality posts are getting downvoted to hell in user sub, meanwhile all the old posts are still on FP. Repeal was passed.

No thanks I want to be depressed tomorrow not today because I can drink on friday

Sorry to say but they repealed net neutrality, we are so fucked
justanotheruser1111
Agreed, this is probably not going well. Politicians think so little of other people, let alone people who can do things better than (1/2)
justanotheruser1111
Even themselves. Politicians look down on us 'commoners' way too much.

The amount of lies this guy says to get people to support him and his (well bribed) cause is truly disgusting.

Hopefully he rewrites them and puts Net Neutrality in there
SageStein
Why did they use a real picture of him but the other guys are drawings?
BeeAtPeace
I would like to put a face to the ISPs as well.

why are his teeth so small?

to match his penis

Fuck you greedy Republicans

Guy should keep his teeth in his mouth and shut up

We need to keep the momentum going. Congress can stand against this: http://act.freepress.net/sign/internet_fcc_overturn_rod

Genuine question: Aren't they just going to be paid off by lobbyists too?

Hack the planet make is live a living hell!!!!

I know you're all upset but let's stop calling in bomb threats, mkay?
Wingzeroalchemist
Why? The country itself was founded on the violent rebellion against government that didn't listen to the people.
SprungLake
It warms my heart when big companies have opportunities to make more money for themselves
mtimothy
Everyone acts surprised that we lost. Seriously? Did you think they'd choose people over money? That's absurd.
RydWolf
Just to check, was it the two democrats who voted no?
EpsilonZem
That's right.
NotoriousBadassWhoLovesMusicals
This is the reason why I'm always amazed Americans are so proud about their "democracy"
mtimothy
Right, we may not have the most corrupt government but it's the strongest corrupt government. That scares me some days.

Just like the white house itself.

It's what the people wanted when they decided they were fine with letting Trump into the White House.
SlickerThanNick
something something popular vote, but yes. i understand what you're saying.
DVSBSTrD
17 MILLION more than Bernie in the Primaries and 3 million more in the general election. But sure, she "stole" the nomination. FFS
Hungrypiemonger
and to the republic for which it falls...

Millennials: *don't vote in midterms or primaries* "How come congress never votes the way we want?"
Hungrypiemonger
they're too young, dumb and full of cum yet.
gabitril
Murder.
Crowlands
That's what the Second amendment is for. When the government turns against the people. So not murder: constitutional killing of a traitor.
CommanderWilliamTRiker
Weird, I thought Imgur hated the 2nd Amendment. Or is that only when it doesn't suit them?
CycloneSP
weird, it's like imgur is made up of thousands upon thousands of individuals from all kinds of backgrounds and preferences...
Crowlands
See also: Trump when he signed off on giving away your internet privacy despite over 90% of Americans opposing it.
Crowlands
Or, honestly... Just the whole republican party? And a large portion of the democratic party?
MatrimBloodyCauthon
I'd argue against the second, what they fight for helps people, even if they're corporate.
lowfatyogart
Soooooooooo who else saw the fear in his eyes when he was told to take a quick break from security
CommanderWilliamTRiker
I mean, yeah, wouldn't you be a little worried?
Ungodlylongusernamefornogoodreasoninparticular
He did it to himself
MatrimBloodyCauthon
Maybe don't mock everyone but the corporates that give you the D.
TrueDankMemeLord
Imagine the death threats this man has received and seen online calling for his death. He still does his fake ass smile. I don't know 1/2
TrueDankMemeLord
How he can still be so unfeeling and mocking, thinking this is all okay. Does the sociopathic cunt want to actually die? 2/?
TrueDankMemeLord
People have been targeted for less. 3/3
taytothief
Maybe Americans will finally start to realize they don’t live in a democracy and nor are they free. Doubtful though.
Castitalus
We already know, but most of us don't want to do anything about it as long as we can have our guns.
MasterDefenestrator
Perhaps you would be willing to share your secret for never having this happen wherever you happen to live?
Crowlands
Vote for an orange corporate shill who will do what wall street wants, or a female corporate shill who will do what wall street wants.
TrueDankMemeLord
Give me the one that doesn't blame climate change on a Chinese conspiracy. I hope at the very least that Trump angers us enough to 1/2
TrueDankMemeLord
Bring about change, or at the very least, teaches people why it's a bad idea to elect Republicans. 2/2
Crowlands
True that. And teaches the DNC that it's a bad idea to support a centre-right candidate over a highly popular one.
TrueDankMemeLord
I also hope for that.
JarJarDrinks
Trump voters carry a guilt that can never be expunged
Pulseless
The general consensus on T_D is that this is a victory over huge corporations, nothing will change or fuck Liberals/BillClinton(?)/Obama.
TrueDankMemeLord
Yup that's the idea. They think all these huge corps literally paid Ajit Pai to hurt their OWN business. Completely fucking insane.
Crowlands
Yup, that'll flip voters. Worked so well in 2016! Keep it up!
TrueDankMemeLord
Trump voters are ... Pretty much a lost cause imo. I'm more concerned about making sure no more are ever created, or being able to 1/2
TrueDankMemeLord
Fight against all the bullshit that their puppeteers use them as a weapon for. 2/2
Crowlands
All of them? Lost? Even the ones who did it because he was anti-TPP? Even the ones who voted for Obama 2 elections in a row?
Crowlands
Trump is a piece of shit, but remember: He was also a professional fraudster and conman. His rhetoric was far less pro-war, pro-billionaire.
Crowlands
The people who voted for him were... y'know. People. Give them a populist candidate who's on their side, and they'll flip.
Omega443
Remember to thank your family and friends and generally anyone who voted for Trump. They are 100% responsible for this.
TrueDankMemeLord
They literally think the giant corps paid money to Ajit for him to harm their own interests.
allsaidsostupid
On advice of security they’re taking a brief recess...
ehoba666
I honestly fell like that was just made up to make supporters of Net Neutrality look like the bad guys. I bet there was no danger at all.
TheDogEnd
I dunno, I've heard a number of people suggesting Ajit Pai should be assassinated, even on Imgur. Some people are just crazy, man...
MatrimBloodyCauthon
Hahaha. What crazy people. Man, who would do that. -sweats-
chelsidagger
Yeah, I was watching live. They had a dog and handler come in to do rounds.

Heard there was a bomb threat

Dude, I know you feel passionate about this, but they don't deserve to die.
rabbiebabbie
Seriously. I cringe when I see these stupid as fuck death threats.
VioletMoonRising
You mean destroying first amendment rights, and ruining the greatest piece of technology ever invented isn't bad enough? Explain.
CycloneSP
not saying I encourage that kind of behavior, but the second amendment -does- technically exist for that kind of reason...
MatrimBloodyCauthon
I'm going to argue that they do with a rational argument, you go first
