Hey @comcast @CoxComm @ATTTHANKS @verizonfios @DishNation @hulu @GetSpectrum THIS IS WHAT YOUR HIDDEN PAYMENTS TO @FoxNews ARE PROMOTING. I assure that your shareholders, customers and executives WILL NOT DO WELL in an Orban style kleptocracy. Stop funding America’s destruction.

Not that I want new "horrors" inflicted upon us by Republicans or Fox or GQP etc.. but once again finding out there's not one new ORIGINAL thought or plan among them should be laughable, if not for the real fear of them collecting moldable supporters.

I keep thinking this is just ramping up the “Own the Libs” thing.
