So if this is true, how do we STOP Mitch McConnell from doing this? We should NEVER make a deal with the left or let them have total control of the FCC.....What do we do?

What a pile of manure. These congress critters need their swamp filled with quicksand and 8 feet of water to drown all.

The Uniparty is going to continue to try to have business as usual for as long as they can.
It is up to us to remove the traitors from office.
McCain, Rubio, Hoeven and Murkowsky were all re-elected after voting for the Gang of Eight amnesty.
Heller, Flake, Corker and Hatch are up in 2018, let’s not re-elect them.

This is unintelligent reporting.

It’s the action of the current Chairman, who should resign at Obama’s departure, that’s the problem:
“...Wheeler said he had not yet decided on a date to step down, nor had he made a decision about whether to remain on the commission to preserve a 2-2 balance should Rosenworcel’s confirmation fail to come through. Wheeler told reporters he would keep them posted once a decision was finalized.”

As long as Wheeler ‘get his mind right’ and cleans out his desk, Rosenworcel can and should be reappointed.

So Trump will hold his wife's nomination in limbo until this is settled?

Why would Trump surrender the FCC and appoint his wife? Doesn't make sense?

...an effort to give Democrats control of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for months into Trump’s presidency is actually being led by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell himself.

What needs to be done to get rid of Mitch McConnell?
Does the fool realize that control of the FCC perpetuates the control of MSM by the Clinton/Soros propaganda machine nationwide?

Who won the election anyway?

Control of education, the news (communications) and bureaucratic rule making are all non- negotiable. At least I hope Trump realizes the obvious.

Too many of the GOPe are still around, AND STILL DON'T GET THAT WHAT THEY ARE PUSHING IS WHAT CAUSED THE ELECTION OF TRUMP IN THE FIRST PLACE.

We better concentrate on eliminating the GOPe deadwood; It looks like Trump is being played. What will they do next? Pretend that THEY were elected president?

GET RID OF McCONNELL!!!!

What Wiki says,

- - - - -

"Commissioners
The FCC is directed by five commissioners appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the United States Senate for five-year terms, except when filling an unexpired term. The U.S. President designates one of the commissioners to serve as chairman. Only three commissioners may be members of the same political party. None of them may have a financial interest in any FCC-related business"

...

Importantly, commissioners may continue serving until the appointment of their replacements, but may not serve beyond the end of the next session of Congress following term expiration.[6] In practice, as of 2016 this means that commissioners may serve up to 1 1/2 years beyond the official term expiration dates listed above if no replacement is appointed."

- - - -

Two of the FCC commissioner terms have expired. One D one R. So this is going to happen with Obama /McConnell picks during the lame duck?
