The trump administration has totally mislead the public on Net Neutraliy.

This is totally misleading and false. Net Neutrality means that all traffic, that means data, traveling across the internet should be treated the same at each stage of the process. 

That roughly means that whether a particular packet of data is video from Netflix, HTML from the Guardian, or a P2P file being sent across BitTorrent, it's given the SAME priority along the same routes as each other. NO ONE has priority access, or a "fast lane.” NO ONE would have to pay more to get faster service or data speed. Netflix and Guardian send the data at the same speed. ALL OF THEIR CLIENTS RECEIVE THE SAME DATA AT THE SAME SPEED!

This is one of the key principles around the governance and structure of the internet, and one the FCC and the previous Obama administration both supported.

Without Net Neutrality, Netflix can send data to your neighbor at a faster speed, IF THEY OPT TO PAY EXTRA, and you would receive it free at a slightly slower speed or lower cost. 

Abolishing Net Neutrality will benefit the customers who can afford to pay higher fees and make these huge monolithic companies even greater profits. You see, the companies won’t actually INCREASE speed, but rather slow your’s down. 

As for the news and media outlets, it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few.  This is all a part of the Republican agenda perpetrated by Donald Trump as: an attack on the Free Press; attack of the peoples’ right to Freedom of Access to the news; making current information more accessible to the wealthy; and, an attempt to make the wealthy cable companies even more profitable.

Education is the key to civility

Republicans have been in a “war” against public education for many decades; invariably against funding to support America’s most vital institution(s).  Techniques are to oppose state and Federal  initiatives to decrease taxes spent to support public schooling in states under their control; encourage charter schools owned by wealthy, private Republican donors; supporting anti-education individuals to “run” the State and Federal systems (DeVoss?); allow absurd tuition increases; closing schools in desperately needed areas; cutting educators’ salaries; lacking raises, pensions,  maintenance, supply, extracurricular activities, new books and supportive materials; and, much more. They profess their “support” of education; even falsely claiming to be the “party of education.” This includes K-12, H.S. and College/University levels.  Schoolbooks, such as those produced primarily by the Texas Republican State Board of Education, deny mention of significant historic...

Babyman has a conniption fit

There is no there with the Tyrant-in-Charge of our new autocracy. He usurped the Senate by taking over supervision of Mitch McConnell, as he did to Paul Ryan, a man who turned into a eunuch under Trump. I wonder what Trump’s offered these members of the Sycophant Party? Pelosi used her authority to determine risk in presenting the State of the Union, saying he could submit it in writing, the usual procedure until the 1970s. Babyman had a conniption fit, canceling Pelosi ’s plane ride to Afghanistan, offering support to our military, and gaining vital information from the front lines. This trip was to understand the issues better, an opportunity always allowed to Congressional leaders.  He claimed it was due to the shutdown and just a publicity tour. However, that didn’t keep him from a photo op trip to Iraq or allowing a Republican delegation to go, or allowing Melania to fly to Mar-a-Lago, on U.S. aircraft, all during the shutdown.

I still have some people - not many - who support trump, as it turns out. Even those of my persuasion. They think trump is good for the U.S. because he supports Israel. I agree, that's great. And, despite what trump created with Obama's being a Muslim, born in Kenya, even Obama was supportive of Israel. Netanyahu was rude to Obama, even during the campaign which people forget about, and still, Obama was kind a respectful.  AGAIN, I say, trump's decision to back out of the Iranian deal would allow Iran to return to their Nuclear dreams, which is NOT good for Israel or the U.S. They would firstTHREATEN Israel often and Blackmail the U.S. That is common sense when you take time to think about it.
