So the FCC claims they don't have the authority to enforce net neutrality, but they have the authority to do this?

As a rabid Trump cultist there are two things that really piss me off about this administration.

The FCC and Israeli support. Trump has done everything else perfect and I am proud as fuck to support Trump, but those two things I just mentioned I'm very sorry everybody
