When will America wake up and realize that it is living with a government bought and paid for. It is an oligarchy, plain and simple. Screw the consumer, wanna repair something in America, I hope you have a degree in electrical engineering and are good at micro soldering. Are you sick, want healthcare, hah, good luck if you’re poor. Wanna lodge a complaint against somebody, file charges for a crime? First thing police will do is ask the address and then they’ll go...hmm, that’s the rich neighborhood, excuse me ma’am we need more evidence that a crime was actually committed, if it’s a poor neighborhood they’ll just go shoot somebody or lock them up for good. This is America, the Idiocracy for rent. I’m being sarcastic, but at this point, you know what, when I watch the news it seems quite true.

You still forgot about the bail system, or a law system where everyone with deep enough pockets can sue anyone else for a sum that's impossible to defend for - or civil forfeiture, where law enforcement can take someone's money just like that if they have "reason to believe it was used in conjunction of a crime" and let them have to disprove it. Without money and against the word of two police officers of course. After which you'll go to a private prison and stay there forever because you're now a bad guy and make lots of profit for the prison company, with 50+% margins on all money going in and nowhere else to go. It's all an exercise in capitalism running amok. The US got what they went for: The best government money can buy.

I totally agree. How does this relate to the FCC chairman? Like Trump, his public statements are lies. Debating about lies is fruitless. We need to focus on on the task at hand: removing Trump and his gang from power as quickly as possible.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted, but I generally agree. This is why I propose the best solution is to take away the majority of both parties, and force them to shape up. The problem is education and media have already been, well I don't know how to say this very diplomatically, infiltrated and subverted, so that the main avenues open to educating and informing the people of what is going on are specifically not used for such. This is why they want the internet next. TPTB finally began to recognize the internet for the anarchistic freedom of thought bastion by design it is, and have determined it is a threat to their oligarchical, neo-fuedal, inverted totalitarian plans. As for the FCC chair position, lets get to root-cause analysis. The problem is that politics are so controlled by donors that presidents appoint to cabinet those who they are told to by their mega-donors. This happened with Obama and citigroup[1], I'm sure something similar happened with Bush, and it has happened with Trump. This isn't a Trump only problem.(so be wary of those who would claim the solution is to get rid of Trump) The political parties themselves, and the donors that corrupt them (largely K-street) are a root cause problem. 1: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3560 https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3560
