And in case anybody missed it, Trump is backing Moore down in Alabama.

Given the opportunity, you had better believe they will charge money to put you in the "fast lane." They'll do it as soon as they can figure out the most efficient way of making money from us. (ie "enhancing" your experience.) As a business owner too, this has me slightly concerned. I have a company who manages my google ads, which often puts me above top national competitors in ad placement. But what happens if those sites are given priority over some local business owner like me? It won't matter where my ads are, if somebody goes to my site and it's 1999 AOL, but my national competitor is lighting fast, I've got problems. Just like Walmart steamrolling local stores. Same concept. Big money wins.

The best way of explaining it I've seen yet:
"Net Neutrality" means corporations can't pay to manipulate how you use the internet (PORN).

If this goes away, not only will all your data (PORN HABITS) be scrutinized by telecom companies, they can decide how fast your internet works on certain websites (YOUR PORN WON'T LOAD).

There are helicopters flying all around the Strip 24/7. We also have an abundance of light shining all over the place.

Kiss Net Neutrality goodbye. Jesus, we are being fucked from any number of directions.

Sucks.

Franken should stay in and go through the investigation. It should also force an ethics investigation on Trump for his own accusations. McConnell just called for it. This should push the same for Trump. Why should they just give up and take the high road? Push the issue.
If they investigate Franken, then let's investigate Trump. Trump's accusers are a much longer list and much more vile.

Will the left demand Al Franken resign or is this woman’s story not credible or Franken gets a pass because he’s a liberal darling. We’ll see if the media runs with this story or ignores it.
It's on the top of Huff Po. But nice try.

They're just remaining non-commital to see where the polls & voters are at. Trump didn't even comment on it today, that's just bad.
Well a poll today has him down 12 now.
Even Hannity (originally defending him) is demanding he give it up.
Moore's arrogance is astounding to be honest, as are the evangelicals who back him no matter what.
