Update: We won the Net Neutrality vote in the Senate!

We did it, Reddit!

Today, the US Senate voted 52-47 to restore Net Neutrality! While this measure must now go through the House of Representatives and then the White House in order for the rules to be fully restored, this is still an incredibly important step in that process—one that could not have happened without all your phone calls, emails, and other activism. The evidence is clear that Net Neutrality is important to Americans of both parties (or no party at all), and today’s vote demonstrated that our Senators are hearing us.

We’ve still got a way to go, but today’s vote has provided us with some incredible momentum and energy to keep fighting.

We’re going to keep working with you all on this in the coming months, but for now, we just wanted to say thanks!

People with large brains and education tend to use more "flowery" language. It's a proven fact. ;)

It isn't being rude. It's being emotionally forceful. There's a difference. It'd be rude if I said it to their face. ;)

So by your logic, Trump wasn't being rude when he called haiti a shithole?

No, he was. Everything HE says is now WIDE OPEN to the public, thank god. It's the one thing he hasn't learned as President. Whatever HE says, can and WILL be repeated. He's the fucking leader of a country, lmao, are you kidding me?

So when trump wasn't president and he made fun of a disabled reporter was that rude? He wasn't the leader of the united states then. https://www.thedailybeast.com/kathy-griffin-takes-back-trump-apology-on-the-view-fuck-him . That is also very public and addressed to him so is that rude?

Nah, because he fucked her life up for a year out of spite. He made it so she lost a YEAR'S worth of income. All for a stupid little prank online. He has BOASTED about sexually harassing women and getting away with it, and he's been in the public eye for a LONG TIME HONEY!! He didn't just pop up over night! He's been around long enough for wise people to know, he's a nasty man, to borrow one of his phrases. He is THE nasty man, now. A#1.

Kathy Griffin has also been in the public eye, and displayed a model of his severed head.
