LOL, that was my first thought as well.

This fact is why I'm unwilling to give Biden credit for the half-measures and posturing on this issue. Yes he forgave some student debt, and that's definitely better than nothing, but he had Congress for two years and could have done more.
He's unilaterally forgiven student debt via Executive Order several times, but couldn't find the balls to forgive all of it. That makes sense, as his presidency and every presidency since Reagan has been propped up by the monied interests profiting vastly off permanently indebting young people.
The law takes cops' word as gospel, unfortunately.
Solid points all around.
Further, even if it would be largely ineffectual (which it won't), we should make it inconvenient for billionaires to dodge taxes, just as some states make it inconvenient to obtain guns.
What galls me about this, even more than fat sheriffs getting fatter by starving people, is the inference that since they're following the law it's all totally okay. I have an ideological problem not just with that statement, but the sentiment behind it.
I'm getting stuffed animal versions made of my pets before they pass so I have something to snuggle when I reminisce about them one day.
lol, and just whom do you think that was?
99% of voters.
Y'all clearly do not care about the quality of people you elect, judging by the effects of their governance. The world can burn and people can starve so long as the person in charge wears blue and says nice things.
No, the Democrats didn’t do enough
LOL
That's almost as bad as... "Dems aren't perfect, but."
Christ, I wish the Democratic Party had a shred of empathy left for workers. The minimum wage has been $7.25 for almost 20 years now, across two Democratic presidents who had control of Congress, and both made $100 billion-plus dollars appear out of thin air for war profiteers. The system gives these men all the power they need to make meaningful change, they just don't give a fuck about anyone who can't afford the $500,000 minimum it costs to buy a five-minute meeting at the Democratic National Convention.
Republicans stab us in the front. Democrats stab us in the back.

At least, she is in her own little world. :)
This is the picture I like to show artists when they hate their stuff after a single layer of work, because I hate all of my stuff after a single layer of work, but it's important to remember it's a process.
Not much to show for five years of GM work, unless you count planting a time bomb on the roster in the form of Aaron Rodgers.
