I will fucking lose it if Harris replaces Khan - the FTC is fucking killing it right now.

Don't worry; John Roberts' anti-government SCOTUS will probably kill it first.

Somewhere in West Texas, a non-profit company with a staff you can count on one hand is born to sue the FTC for damages claiming their finger muscles were atrophied by the lack of clicking or some other nonsense that will climb to a 6-3 vote.

“The Commission vote approving publication of the final rule in the Federal Register was 3-2, with Commissioners Melissa Holyoak and Andrew N. Ferguson voting no.”

Any guesses on who voted no on this? If you guessed republicans, you would be correct! These are the two scumbags who voted no:

Melissa Holyoak

Andrew Ferguson

Honestly, how can you have a functioning brain and vote Republican on anything at this point. How is this political? Melissa claimed in her her dissenting statement the following:

“The likely unlawful character of the rule is compounded by the Majority’s race to cross the finish line. Why the rush? There is a simple explanation. Less than a month from election day, the Chair is hurrying to finish a rule that follows through on a campaign pledge made by the Chair’s favored presidential candidate.”
