Knew what it was immediately, when I saw the character count.

That's not what the commissioner is saying. She's describing how the threats mean nothing. The FCC would not be able to act. She's disappointed ABC caved.

“That’s exactly the point, because we don’t have the authority to do this, because it’s against the law. We would not be able to actually take that final action, because on appeal, the FCC would be wrong on the facts and the law if, in fact, it retaliated against the … broadcasters, the local licensees, because of what they air,” Gomez, an attorney who has served at the FCC for two years, said during an appearance on CNN’s “Erin Burnett Outfront.”

“So the threats are the point, and the capitulation is so disappointing, because what we are doing is eroding, little by little, the freedom of the press, the freedom of speech on which our democracy relies,” she told host Erin Burnett. “We need the fourth estate to push back against the likes of me, to hold me and the government to account.”

It'd be cool to know what facts he "misrepresented" on his form. Feels very suspicious that there's no information regarding that in the article. Makes me lean toward kangaroo court. I mean, I was already leaning there, but still.

Anytime! I'm so happy to be on Lemmy where cordial exchanges are more common, than not.

Government sites are terrible, am I right? This should get you to the right place and describe the consequences.

Edit: re-reading my comment, I think I came off too aggressive, so for that I'd like to apologize. I hope your have a great day!

It is not required to be under oath, if found lying to Congress. Plenty of people have been prosecuted by Congress, because they lied to Congress. It's all over US History. Relevant code

This is one thing that I've come to terms with. There is no justice in the world. They will release it in accordance to their agenda. They will not release them, if it harms the party. So, expect a shit storm, in which files are heavily redacted and Trump is no where to be found. The world is on fire and we are self-immolating in the flames. It's game over. They won. I'm done hoping for justice and peace. They will only radicalize more people, for them and against. They will foment more violence, because violence requires more violence to keep order. That's the end game. We're fucked.

Eisenhower was too busy building the Interstate system. Damn you, Eisenhower.

They wanted to play placating politics and lost it all. Don't wanna alienate those MAGA voters!

May I inquire how this could be a good thing? I feel like it could exacerbate problems, but I'm not well versed enough in macroeconomics to make an accurate assessment.

Yeah, my neighbor rents her house while she is living somewhere else for work. She's about to retire, so she'll be moving back soon. But she always rented to folks who needed short term living, traveling nurses, graduate students, etc. She charges significantly less than what the market calls for, and she also comes and handles minor repairs. The landlord, people are angry about are the ones who hoard massive amounts of property. The industry just needs to be regulated.

 

See ya next week, Vandy. 😂
