FCC now says there were no cyber attacks during net neutrality comment period

Kennedy legalized gay marriage tho. I personally don't believe the US will be as far gone as Russia but Canada may want to militarize the border if it does happen.

Legalizing gay marriage will be seen as rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic in the greater scheme of things. Sure, gays suddenly gained some rights they didn't have before, but that's one positive thing standing next to throwing the integrity and value of the American democratic institution into the swamp to drown under permanent legalized corporate bribery.

Yep. Kennedy was actually the lesser evil compared to Reagan's first pick Robert Bork.

Of cousre there were no cyberattacks. It was unofficially sanctioned so it's not an attack.
You guys should try using a custom theme. On Awfully White at the very least I don't seem to get the issue at all.
We also need a solid replacement for Ginsburg, not because she needs to be replaced but because she's getting fairly old and will likely have to retire before too terribly long or die.

It helps to read the article and read that the "cyberattacks" were alleged malicious DDOS attacks that were actually legitimate-user-traffic-overload accidental DDOSes caused by John Oliver's net neutrality call to action energizing the American public.

This isn't a Russia hacking story.

Actually I'd misread things and thought it was on the comments on the FCC's sites, not the ddosing stuff. My mistake.

All you have to do is reload the page but cancel before it actually reloads. Fucks up some things but at least it's not vibrating....
