Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The initial 20k goal was 430bil forgiven, that the SC knocked down.
His admins "peeing on a house fire" has forgiven 136bil so far in small 5bil/10bil awards, and thats before this. The above doesnt even take into account the huge improvements the SAVE plan brings, like setting interest to 0% while you pay on your loan, doubling the minimum income before you have to pay for means adjusted borrowers so that way more people pay $0/month, and allowing anyone in default to get trued up instantly.
136 billion isn't 430 billion, but its hugely, hugely more than any admin has ever forgiven student loans. Its disappointing it didnt reach the full scope, but its more than anyone has every done.
Man has pissed a lake onto a forest fire, but yall wanted him to piss a river into a volcano and he couldn't get it done, so suddenly "he hasent done anything."
Fuck all that.
This!
For Biden's faults, what his team has done for borrowers has been great to the people who need it the most. Even in the face of the GOP trying to stop them at every turn.
That attitude of All or Nothing really pisses me off.
"Oh, you had a goal to lose 100 lbs in a year but only lost 80? You might as well have not tried to begin with, loser."
Fucking stupid
