No, actually I doubt that seriously. Hilary would have been a vast improvement over Trump as someone who studied and understood law, international relations, had exposure to military strategy, and faced over 30 years of investigations while continuing to be squeaky clean. In contrast, Trump has 300+ active lawsuits, flagrantly violated labor laws, immigration law (yeah!), tax law, and everything else. As well as the whole committing treason bit by selling state secrets to Russia as a bribe not to expose his homosexuality.

You are bad at trolling. You are discriminating based on content and against a class of businesses out of misguided deference to entrenched communication monopolies (that only exist by mandate, and thus owe their existence to the public). There is no excuse for billing based on destination for Internet packets. Consider simple movement which has costs. Information flow is also movement and has costs, but they are very different. For physical goods those costs include maintenance of particular roads and compatible rail gages, transport containers, etc. For information none of that applies and costs depend only on the existence of a network which is in place, telecommunications equipment which is in place, and electricity which is widely available and already paid for by all parties: the host, the user, and by the ISP which is billing the user already. Sending packets to fox.com or espn.com or buttfuck.ru is all the same. Local caches that mirror remote content and thus speed up access are paid by serving ads that are viewed by users. Either make access free and charge providers, or realize the bed is made instead of burning down the house.

So fucking what? What matters NOW is what effects HUMAN habitats and especially human settlements i.e. everything from mega-cities like NY, Shanghai, Tokyo, etc. to the subsistence farmers in Burma and everywhere else on the entire planet. Massive population shifts are exactly what brings increased death, disease, and destruction. Humans have been fucking up the global atmosphere for more than 200 years and it was KNOWN 200 fucking years ago.

ISIS is failing, while Trump's ties by electronic evidence to both Putin and Russian-state-sponsored groups are stacking up, all while Russian aggression is increasing, and Trump hasn't shown any evidence of a backbone that would support US interests against Russian aggression. He has even demeaned NATO, the backbone of global security and stability for nearly 70 years.
