I'm disappointed that this hasn't already happened.

C'mon, Joe. Surely you know you were elected to undo the random BS executive orders that Trump signed. So get on it.

Can't tell if that was sarcasm, but republicans were obstructionists about the latest appointment and drug their heels. FCC had been deadlocked since 2021, and only this Sept. they finally got a 3-2 majority

It's not an executive order - it has to come from the FCC. Biden has already signed an executive order instructing the FCC to work on getting it done. But he can't do it on his own.

Huh. I figured with the majority Dems had in both houses prior to Nov '22, they'd have been able to confirm anyone Joe wanted.

FCC commissioners serve five-year terms. It's one of those weird little areas in government where appointees can outlast their appointing administration.

I am just thankful we lived through this dangerous and dark time in our history. I remember all the clutching of pearls when orange man did this. The devastation is mind boggling.

Another exaggerated blathering that has no basis in reality.

Quote a single person that said removing net neutrality would cause "a dangerous and dark time in our history." You won't be able to because no one said that or was worried about that.

I'll tell you what I had to tell my 85 year old father a couple of days ago, "stop acting like a 6 year old and grow the eff up."

Honestly, most of your arguments have no real framework, so owning you is not done by me but by you attempting to argue your beliefs.
