The Federal Communications Commission is about to start winding down a program that gives $30 monthly broadband discounts to people with low incomes, and says it will have to complete the shutdown by May if Congress doesn’t provide more funding.

    It’s been their philosophy for a while now, Grover Norquist and his lame ass “don’t raise taxes” pledge was one of the first of their idiots saying the quiet part out loud, they just want to starve the beast to destroy our government and trust in it so that they can push forward with their neo-Confederaracy/neo-Feudalism.

      Grover Norquist was also the piece of shit who said he wanted the government so small that it could be drowned in a bathtub.

      And he did stand-up comedy in the D.C. area. Really. He must have been just hilarious, so I’m not sure why he hasn’t been given a Netflix special.

          Right? But not Grover. It’s almost as if he’s as shitty a comedian as he is a political thinker.

              Probably. I’ve never seen Grover’s attempt at comedy, but I’ve seen Watters (and Gutfeld too) try to be funny and fail miserably.

                Ugh forgot that Gutfield exists, dude is like the Bill Maher of the Right, except that Bill Maher is becoming the Bill Maher of the Right.

                  Bill Maher, who I don’t think is funny, is funnier than Gutfeld. At least Maher doesn’t get a stupid smirk on his face whenever he thinks he’s said something funny like it’s a punchline.

                    I don’t agree, Maher definitely does, he’s just better at not doing it as often. Maher has one of the most punchable faces in “comedy”.
