Eric Allie for March 07, 2023

It is true that the orange baboon stacked SCOTUS with people who most likely cheated to even pass the bar exam.

Allie actually right for once

Has hell frozen over or pig flying?

Thirty-nine other nations provide education through college and many work in the US on H1B visas — to fill the employment needs of high-tech companies that can not hire US citizens — as the cost of advanced education is no longer within the budget of today’s workers as it once was. One faction of our non-collaborative partisan Congress seems to want the US to be a tribal third-world nation as it looks the other way when the essential highly-skilled H1B workers illegally overstay their visas to fill the high-tech job gap.

This comic summarizes it well, Biden wins either way. If the supremes rule this vote buying scheme unconstitutional, as they should, he can say he tried but the mean ‘ol’ Republicans took the money from the students, even though they didn’t deserve it in the first place.

the supreme court of no ethics; just another political quagmire whose members have made taking an oath the biggest joke out there.

What amuses me is the constitutional “experts” claiming that the Biden administration’s is unconstitutional because it is not based on law. It is based on the 2003 “HEROES Act”, which does indeed give the Secretary of Education the authority to cancel or reduce loans in an emergency. The other question never addressed by the “experts” is what standing do the states who brought the suit even have?

That said I fully expect the USSC to rule against the administration; it won’t be the first or last time that “strict constitutionalists” ignore laws that exist.

Biden had no authority to administer a federal loan program?

It has to be cynical politics. It couldn’t possibly be that young Americans are being saddled with onerous debt from college loans.

I think it should be handled like the PPP Loan forgiveness.

Democrats like to keep Americans WOKE and ignorant, with lies and empty promises.

So…it is okay for Trump to divert military funds for “the wall” without Congressional approval, for his “Emergency” (per Supreme Court), but not okay for Biden to use powers enacted by Congress, via the Heroes Act. Even though the use of that law essentially was already put into effect (to pause student loan payments), which no Republican had an issue with. Basically when a Republican does it they have those powers, but when a Democrat does it they are over-reaching.

Republicans LOVE predatory lending practices.

Exactly!

Except for the lies from RWNJs, the fake stories from Kev M (that change all the time), blaming the Dems for Trump and the Repubs inflating the debt / deficit amd mishandling the pandemic and giving money to companies that did NOTHING to improve things for their company or employees or improve the supply chain, there isn’t reason to be angry at Dems.

Eric thinks that it is GREAT that oil companies were price-gouging which was one of the biggest contributors to inflation.

This one sounds like reality to me. The Power of the President is defined and limited in Article II Sections 2 and 3 of the Constitution:

Section 2.The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.

He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.

The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session.

Section 3.He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the

If you’re trying to make borrowers look like craven selfish people look no further than Republican government officials and conservative billionaires.

Only rubes fall for cartoons such as this.
