A U.S. judge has blocked Biden's new sweeping student loan forgiveness plan before his administration could even roll it out. What borrowers need to know.

    This is like a sitcom husband calling a restaurant on Valentines afternoon for an appointment, obviously getting turned away, and then claiming to the sitcom wife it’s not his fault and she has to now pretend that he took her out to a fancy dinner after she cooks for him with zero notice.

    Because he tried.

    With a bare minimum of effort, knowing it wouldnt work.

    If you know a woman in that situation in real life, you’d explain what gaslighting is.

    But for some reason we still can’t criticize Biden, because he’s not trump, even tho he’s also not running.

    Almost like neoliberals will always scream and moan that there’s some bullshit reason you can’t judge their strategies when they never work. They want us to just keep beating our head against a wall, because when Republicans win, so do the corporations that donate to them and neoliberals.

      You’re misrepresenting the context.

      Republicans are jurisdiction-shopping to find the most regressive and conservative judges they can find, and filing the cases there.

        They’ve been doing that for decades…

        Why do you and Biden think they were just gonna not?

        Like, you think Republicans will just voluntarily stop using a loophole so we don’t have to bother trying to close it?

          The GOP will always find some new way to fuck up the system. That’s basically what they do now, sabotage the political system to maintain undue control. Not even pre-existing Supreme Court precedents are respected anymore, the right to vote is under attack from countless sides, wrenches get thrown in everywhere …

          But you complain that the Democrats still try to get things done and at least expose the sad the state of our failing system rather than just waiting around for bulletproof golden opportunities that are somehow beyond the reach of all this fuckery.

            Nope, I’m saying they’ll throw out a half-assed attempt and say “we tried”

            But they’re not trying.

            Like at the complete inaction over decades with the SC since you brought them up.

              So bi-partisan country-wide reform of how cases are assigned along with enforceable ethics codes banning partisanship that all states agree to so that federal appeals are not needed and a Supreme Court overhaul on top before we even attempt to do anything other than bend over for MAGA activists who are passing regressive shady bills at an alarming rate…

              Good luck with that.
