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
Alternative ending to fight club
nuke the
whalesnukes!
Couldn’t he just walk in and hit delete though?
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
Yeah I’m doing PAYE. That’s why I said they would be. But if like that goes away under Trump, then I’m still wouldn’t be able to pay them off.
I think in 25 years my student debt is forgive tho so there’s some “silver lining” lol
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.
They’ll just ruin your social credit and bar you from homeownership, which, let’s face it basically means that the state will pick on you harder.
Almost like in Bad Country™
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
And then banned Chinese EVs
Ground broke years ago, but it might never make any chips
Don’t forget tariffs on Chinese goods, especially green energy products.
And nearly starting a war with China!
There’s still time.
You know, if China really was the big meany poopoo heads the US says they are, they would have hit back by now. But instead, they go on about their business of making life better for their people
Or releasing 800k tonnes of natural gas after blowing up NS2
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®esident has unlimited power. The Presi(D)ent is just an average Joe like you and me.
Basically what the court thinks
Yeah but using it would be uncivil
Sorry sweaty, the president can only do unlimited crimes

If you don’t have your own plan, you become part of someone else’s plan, and their plan likely won’t be in your favor.
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?
Corpus delecti can shove its corpus errecti up it corpus corpussy
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?
And so they were arrested for threatening democracy by blocking what the people voted for…right?
Goodbye house!
That’s what they’ll call the debtors prisons next year when they’re built
“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.
This is a very thingy thing. “I don’t have kids why should i pay taxes for schools” comes out of fash fairly regularly and there is a level of pig headedly foolish hyper-individualism there that is difficult to wrap my mind around.
Americans have a terminal case of coconut tree brain, and refuse to believe they live in the context.
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
imo summer of 2020 was bigger than trump’s near miss
I think I agree with this in terms of an actual violent challenges to power through largely unorganized adventurism, but just the optics of of the near miss being a former president makes me think it will be infinitely more memorable to the average person.
that’s kinda where i’m at, like 2020 had so much more energy i agree w/emi but trump dodging that bullet is some shit
not wrong i’m just dronk
Oh I don’t expect it to do anything productive- I’m just incredibly aware that a lot of people in the US were in dire financial situations prior to this ruling and will now potentially lose everything because of it and many of those people just experienced the most in-your-face adventurism attempt in their lifetimes. It’s those two unique factors together that make me think this could be especially unstable.
man we been at the precipice for ages and nothing has happened. biggest thing this decade was trump getting winged.
Even 2008 led to Occupy. Things did happen they just didn’t bring the results we want for obvious reasons but millenials were only the first generation to deal with late stage capitalism and I’d not say the US is in better shape in 2024 than 2004, absolutely no way you can point to any social indicator or internal political analysis.
Yes its not enough but you should expect an exponential increase as things get worse simultaneously. Student debt and healthcare were the traditional core issues for Bernie voters, but these days just affording rent and food is also a core issue.
man we been at the precipice for ages and nothing has happened. biggest thing this decade was trump getting winged.
We were literal inches away from a president being assassinated.
