Lifelong gangster Combover Caligula and his FCC thug, Carr, have to be two of those most soulless , petty assholes to ever end up in U.S. government. Don’t they have better things to do?

“‘A court can’t review an action you don’t take,‘ my colleague Gilad Edelman, who profiled Carr in November, told me. But if Disney’s lawyers think the company is being illegally targeted this time, they could sue the administration over it.”
“The FCC says that it has a reason to review all eight of ABC’s broadcast licenses, which were not scheduled to be renewed until 2028 at the earliest.”

Carr is the embodiment of the feckless fascist; loves making big threats from behind his big desk, would probably poop himself if challenged outside his bubble.
Just a bunch of impeachable middle-school level bully assholes.
