It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Biden is working hard on bringing student loan relief which has been repeatedly obstructed by right wing institutions.
There is no reason for SCOTUS to rule on this issue. It has nothing to do with them. They have no army, they are not legislative or executive. There is no actual rule that says we have to listen to them at all. In other words, we don't need right wing judges to tell us we can do it. We also don't need a law to say we can do it. We can just do it.

Yeah it's just too bad that dastardly parliamentarian won't let him! It's too bad he has to do what that creature says!
Good news though: Since the president is completely powerless, it doesn't matter who the president is!
Also I prefer presidents that can enact their platform and keep their promises.
The student loan relief where you can keep making minimum payments every month for the next 40 years and maybe the government will write it off if they haven't scrapped the program by then? That's also attached to your income so if you ever make more than about $30k/year you're immediately disqualified and have to pay even more than the already obscene rates?
The student loan relief that's entirely unnecessary as Biden could literally delete 95% of student loan debt with a stroke of his pen? And only became a conversation because he got rid of the moratorium on payments during covid?
Yeah, I'm positively vibrating to go cast my vote for him.
It's ridiculous these students think the US government is ever gonna spend billions to relieve their debts. Who do they think they are, israel?
