Was wondering who appointed the judge who made the decision just out of curiosity.
Wasn't Trump:
Thanks Obungler
Obama really driving Joe into the earth lately
Playing the long con to cement his legacy as "The Only Good Democrat After Bush"
Just to be clear, it is perfectly legal for the president to drone strike the judge’s house
Or the DOE complex with the servers and records...
Just saying.
Ok, this was probably totally unintentionally hilarious, but DoE is the accepted abbreviation for Department of Energy. Aka the department that handles nukes.
Department of Education is DoEd to distinguish them.
So when I read this I was like "oh...? Joker mode? Some men just want to watch the world burn, etc.?"
Slightly disappointed, but still funny.
Galaxybrain play is to nuke the DoE's records of nukes to prevent the records from being seized to form a counter-strategy
nuke the ~~whales~~ nukes!
Or just ignore them!
A real leader would have black-bagged all the supreme court judges (maybe not the dissenting ones) the minute they made that judgement to prove a point.
Im never going to pay my fucking loans they're going to have to kill me
Like I literally can't pay mine. Can't afford to. Like at all. Fuck em.
When mine resumed they sent a letter being like "yeah so...400 a month sound good?"
Nah man absolutely not lmao
Mine are supposed to be about $800 a month and I make $0 a month. I'll let them figure it out.
Are you not signed up for PAYE? Your payment would be $0 and you wouldn't be in default and fucking your credit
Wonder if I can incorporate and then pay myself enough to stay under the amount that requires payment... if I ever make any real money.
This country is shit rotten and leaves you in different degrees of chains and has for centuries unless you’ve been a member of the oppressing class
Dear god how isn’t everyone a ML if you accept this reality
Well, that takes understanding context, history, material conditions, class relations, some basic economics and philosophy.
Or, you can listen to the guy on the radio and the blonde on TV, who say it's the Mexican laborers, black thugs, Muslim terrorists, and Jewish bankers. Oh, and the gays. And liberal elite, college professors. And since everything in that list is easily categorizable as the one word "woke", it's clearly a simpler explanation.
So, that's literally everything now, right? Biden's administration has now officially done nothing over the last 4 years, aside from ending the COVID State of Emergency?
And of course propping up fascist regimes in Ukraine and Israel.
People try to give him credit for ending afghanistan but then was technically trump lol. Trump started the pullout then left it for Biden to deal with the messy fallout
He signed a bill to build a huge water hungry microchip facility in the middle of the desert that might never break ground and briefly made it cheaper to buy electric cars
Don't forget tariffs on Chinese goods, especially green energy products.
Meaningful? Yes, nothing.
Technically between now and when the interest easement started some people have had less interest to pay and lower payments. But presumably that will stop too.
Thanks Joe.
Doesn't the president have unlimited power now?
The P(R)esident has unlimited power. The Presi(D)ent is just an average Joe like you and me.
Yeah but using it would be uncivil
How does standing work here? What "injury" are these state attorneys able to point to?
Standing is dead. Remember the woman who sued for the right to refuse to make wedding websites for gay couples before she even started making wedding websites and then the Supreme Court agreed?
We need the emoji of charlie brown soaring backwards when he misses the kick
It's okay, lemmy libs have been taking credit for this for months at least, so it must have actually done good before this point, right?
"Oh you went to college and got into life crippling debt to do engineering or science? :smuglord: smh you should have taken up a trade instead of dreaming. You can learn your science from PragerU instead, peasants"
I'm sure nobody being able to afford to learn advanced sciences will not affect the empire in the slightest.
it would be very funny if the courts invalidate the entire 4 years of Biden's presidency, and Trump can run a third time because technically, we didn't have a 46th president.
Would not surprise me to see this specific action resulting in some more attempted adventure time scenarios.
It could be naiivety, but I feel like the US populace is genuinely at a breaking point now and the added financial stress is ramping up domestic pressure even further.
man we been at the precipice for ages and nothing has happened. biggest thing this decade was trump getting winged.
i'm not saying 'nah never will happen' but many ppl been at the breaking point for awhile, it's hard to imagine atomised individual adventuristic violence will do anything at all
Rip me
aint lookin great for me either tbh
Thank god they've never blocked any payments to Ukraine or Isn'treal!
In authoritarian communism the people are slaves to the government+capitlalist corporations and have nowhere to go if they don’t make enough money to afford rent
Biden doing his best to throw the election.
