    Last month, a federal judge blocked the Biden administration-era SAVE plan, an income-driven student loan replacement program with 8 million borrowers, claiming it lacked the authority to forgive millions of dollars in debt.

    It’s almost funny how when Biden was President he had no authority to do anything, however trump doesn’t seem to have that issue as much. Almost funny.

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      I don’t know why Biden didn’t just go full dictator like Trump. Dictators that do the thing I want are actually good and there’s absolutely no possible repercussions.

        I mean, I’d love a dictator who says “You must value trans rights as human rights, or to the Gulag with you!”, while running labor camps for… CEOs who underpay their janitors.

        If a democrat went dictator they would immediately have the DOJ, entire media ecosystem, and courts united against them because those that support the democratic party recognize dictators as bad.

      Well Biden wasn’t really president, Trump won, doesn’t that make this this third term?
