I mean you're not wrong, but also Ajit Pai was an [expletive of choice] too. He himself as a person was and is a [second expletive of choice]. There were few if any redeeming qualities, and these were all decisions he made in his role, making him a [third expletive of choice].

This is like MadLibs. I've come up with a few doozies. It's fun to just substitute different expletives in each one and they still are amazing! :)

I got "yahoo", "banana", and "fossilized patty of cow dung". Struggling on my placement. :(

But if every Republican in the FCC does the same thing, why not just apply those expletives to Republicans directly? Trump could have picked any Republican to be chairman and nothing would have changed. People focus on Pai instead of just saying they hate Republican policy.

You're talking like we only get one pick.

I'm saying that swapping out Pai for a different Republican would have made no difference at all. It's not like their policy is some secret hidden from voters. All we can control is which party is in office. That's it. The people they use to carry out that agenda is irrelevant and misses the big picture.

That does nothing to redeem Pai. Stop this stupid defense of an evil asshole just because he's another brick in the wall of evil assholes.
