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!

No wonder Republicans are so upset, this might establish a precedent that people ought to repay loans, and not just leave others on the hook for them
That’s what they already think. See student loans and Biden.
And here I thought they were for predatory loans driving people into bankruptcy but not allowing them to offload the debt unless it's a corporation.
See Biden and student loan forgiveness.
Yes. As I said to someone else, it’s all hypocritical. The republicans only care about how they serve themselves and the narrative will always be whatever helps them get what they covet.
And you think it's hypocritical that Democrats are trying to do something to help Americans struggling with student loans? Your logic is not clear.
I literally did not say that at all. I was commenting on the republican side of things.
I personally think it’s fine, and owed, to give student loan debt relief. That is not full wipe outs for everyone, it’s a helpful token that helps everyone. Businesses and wealthy always get the kickbacks but struggling people get one little bone and others throw a hissy fit.
Which paradoxically differs from how they view PPP loans. Or is it hypocritically?
It’s all hypocritical. They just want to get theirs and fuck everyone else. Whatever form that takes, well, they support it.
Student loans are, by definition, for education and education prevents conservatives.
Clearly, the Republicans must impeach Biden now. Do you know how much this could hurt Trump if "people have to pay back their debts" catches on?!!!
Clarence Thomas is whistling as he passes by.
Brett Kavanaugh is sobbing as he passes by.
Calendar clutched, alcohol soaking into his anus.
Not quite. Tehy want people to mostly repay loans, but clearly not rich people!!!
