I love this - good for her! I just wore 5 week old LO to my business visa renewal interview. Zero fucks given if they thought it was weird. Where I go, baby goes.

I’m jumping back in...
I cannot believe this tax bill will pass. The support numbers are so low! (I mean, I can believe it’ll pass but these people aren’t even pretending to vote for their residents)

Good Morning!
NPR has me going off this morning. First let me start with Ajit Pai. I will admit when he started talking during the interview this morning I screamed Fuck You as loud as I fucking could I am pretty sure everyone around my car heard me.
He started with saying that back in the 1995 Bill Clinton had the correct touch for handling the Internet. Because of that companies were able to thrive like Facebook & Google. This was a completely different time. This is 2017 and the Internet is a bigger and more neutral animal. I don't buy the whole argument that ISPs can't have these current regulations because it "stifles innovation." That is the biggest load of horse shit. IPOs and people working out of their garage are having NO problem innovating and building software, apps, code, hacks or hardware. I want this direct information to be clarified.
Next question brought it all to light.
She asked him if one of rural America's ISPs is the only ISP and wanted to upcharge. He said the answer to that is not government regulation it's more competition. HOW VERY REPLUBLICAN AND TIMELY this answer is. This is their answer to everything. People don't understand what the service is they are being provided and so instead of giving them an easy solution they decide to give them more options and confuse the fuck out of people more with information they have no idea they are doing.
And when she asked him about ISPs charging more for different speeds and sites he said that the FTC should be the watchdog. Like they will actually have the time to censor monitor all the ISPs at any point in time in the way technology changes.
I am so angry. They vote today to revert this regulations back to 25 years ago. I am so tired of going backwards. ISPs just want to make more money and they are complaining about it. That is to fucking bad. You are a utility not a media company. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU SO HARD.

(I mean, I can believe it’ll pass but these people aren’t even pretending to vote for their residents) Because they have zero fucks about the people that elected them at this point. They have literally said, we have to pass this so our donors are happy.

45's tweets to LaVar Ball are pissing me off. I just was on Twitter and saw them. He is way out of control and such an embarrassment to our country. I am so thankful to be away from my pro-Trump family members this Thanksgiving.

I know :-( It’s just impossible for me to wrap my brain around people being so worried about their own wealth and wanting to get even richer that they’d fuck over the people that voted for them. It’s why I’d never make it in politics.

I had a dream the other night that a friend of mine was being forced to marry Trump and I got in trouble for not voting for him.
He's in my dreams now.
And I'm pissed at the net neutrality and tax bill stuff.

I am usually all for people voting but THE LEAST these republicans voters in AL can do is NOT VOTE for a pedophile. If you can't support a democrat no matter what just stay home. Don't participate in an election where one of the candidates is accused of child molestation.I just cannot imagine a world where so many people give more shits about their political party over protecting our children. Like you are going to vote a pedophile into office for your anti-abortion agenda - terminating a pregnancy equals murder but who cares about the young girls being preyed on? Or your anti-gay agenda because family values?? Come the fuck on. I just want to shake all these people.

You are a utility not a media company. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU SO HARD. YES. This is all so backwards. It’s anti-consumer, and also anti-small business. If smaller sites hosting video or audio streaming content are charged more/ their users are charged more, it will very likely drive them out of business. That is the thing that will actually “stifle innovation,”not regulating the ISP’s.

My parents are apparently still planning on voting for Moore because they just can't vote for a Democrat or stay home. They make me so mad some days. I have heard locally that some white female Republicans are planning to stay home now, but I won't hold my breath.

It would be easier for her to vote no knowing that it will still pass. I am still bitter about her sending DeVos to the full senate vote instead of killing it in the committee.

I’m disappointed that not even McCain is going to come through (although just those two wouldn’t be enough either). I thought he’d rediscovered his conscience.
