Trump's main concern is himself. His family is in second place. His rich friends are in third place. That is the end of his concerns. Everything about that bounder is as fraudulent as he is flatulent.

 

The despicable talking point of the moment is that Trump places himself first, his family second, his rich friends in third place, oh, and he farts.

This they claim about a president that never took his salary as president, donating it instead, is the only president in modern times to lose personal wealth as President, and passed tax laws that landed on his "rich friends" more than the people he supposedly dislikes.

You see how leftist propaganda works? simply declare whatever fits as gospel come down from the mount chiseled on stone tablets and let them spend time proving otherwise.

It's why we can never have anything nice.

 

Meanwhile, over at the Whitehouse, brandon is pushing forward with his student loan payoffs.

We just can't help but ask; the despicables are always on about Trump's tax cuts for the rich.
Have they noticed, brandon's student loan payoff program is a huge tax cut for the rich?
The hypocrisy continues, eh?​

Biden's New Student Loan Forgiveness Plan Costs Taxpayers $559B and Benefits 6-Figure Income Households More Than Anyone (msn.com)
Biden's New Student Loan Forgiveness Plan Costs Taxpayers $559B and Benefits 6-Figure Income Households More Than Anyone

President Biden is still intent on canceling student loans. But a new study is saying that his latest plan will burden taxpayers heavily.

The president’s cancellation plans will bring relief to many Americans but it’s accruing criticism from the opposite side of the political corridor. Now let’s study the plan.

Under the latest cancellation plans, the total cost of the student loan cancellation plans that taxpayers must bear is a whopping $559 billion.

Households earning more than $300,000 in annual income will benefit the most. The estimates came from the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Wharton Budget Model, a study analyzing President Biden’s student debt relief.

The Budget Model estimates the new plans announced by Biden in early April 2024 will cost $84 billion over a decade.

This figure is outside the previous figure the Budget Model previously estimated for President Biden’s SAVE plan ($475 billion.) The total of the new plans and SAVE plan amounts to $559 billion.

The SAVE (Saving on a Valuable Education) Plan was rolled out last summer in 2023. It’s an income-driven repayment scheme, in which many borrowers are eligible for $0 payments if they earn less than the federal poverty limit.

More than 7.5 million borrowers enrolled in this repayment plan since it was first launched. Forgiveness was even granted to borrowers who’d been paying for at least 10 years with an original loan of $12,000 or less.

Besides the new price tag of over $500 billion, the Budget Model finds the new plan will relieve some longer-term student debt. The relief comes for about 750,000 households making over $312,000 in average household income.

According to the study, the high average household income can be attributed to the SAVE plan. It already provides long-term debt relief to households with lower incomes.

Households earning more income than $312,000 annually, with more than 20 years in repayment, will have their debt relieved on average by $25,541.39 under the new plan. This is so much higher than the average student debt relief of $4,899.26.

Plus, it should be noted that the Budget Model doesn’t count Biden’s April 12th announcement that he would cancel $7.4 billion in student debt for 277,000 additional borrowers.

Under the new plan, the Biden administration will cancel student loan debt without income limits for borrowers who only have undergraduate student debt and entered repayment 20 years ago.

The cancellation also applies for those with graduate student debt that first entered repayment 25 or more years ago.

In the tense political climate of an election year, the Penn Wharton Budget Model is fueling Republicans to criticize the president.

House Budget Committee Chairmen Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) already fired a shot, arguing that it’s unconstitutional. Arrington also accused the move as the president’s “quest to buy votes.”

Arrington said in a statement, ”In reality, his plan will shift the responsibility of paying for loans owed by high-income earners who freely incurred them onto the backs of all taxpayers, many of whom do not even have a college degree.”

“[Biden’s] administration is dead set on circumventing the Supreme Court, defying Congress, and saddling our country with more debt,” he added.

Biden’s SAVE Plan commenced only weeks after the Supreme Court rejected another student cancellation plan of his. That earlier plan, announced in June 2023, would’ve erased a $430 billion debt by more than 40 million borrowers.

11 states with Republican leaders ended up filing a lawsuit against the president and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona as a response to the SAVE plan. Filed in Kansas, the lawsuit is backed, among others, by Texas, Alaska, and Louisiana.

But the Biden administration remains unmoved, even by the lawsuit. Cardona has argued that the president’s policies are still sound and will “give hardworking Americans some breathing room.”

The administration seems keen to go ahead with its new plans. Cardona said the administration “will remain relentless in our pursuit to bring relief to millions across the country.”

The borrowers surely have no complaints. The 10% who’ve been approved for some debt relief under Biden’s many student loan cancellation programs are grateful.

“We don’t want our loans dictating our life choices, and us not being able to do other things because we’re paying so much money. The SAVE plan is definitely a game changer for us,” said Lauran Michael, an interior designer in Raleigh, North Carolina.

So we guess, with the National Debt at over $34.6 TRILLION, what's another half a TRILLION or so, when we're talking about buying the votes of America's interior designers and the top 5% of America's rich?

And as long as we're fucking over Trump no matter what it takes, you know, fuck the constitution, fuck the law, get that bastard, what's it matter if we ignore the Supreme Court on student loan payoffs?​

 

But did you see WHY the appeals court tossed Weinstein's verdict?

"By Minyvonne Burke, Diana Dasrath and Morgan Smith, CNBC


Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction was overturned Thursday in New York, making way for a new trial.

The state Court of Appeals found that the judge in the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced Weinstein, the former film mogul, with improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that weren’t part of the case.


“We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes because that testimony served no material non-propensity purpose,” the court said in a 4-3 decision.

“The court compounded that error when it ruled that defendant, who had no criminal history, could be cross examined about those allegations as well as numerous allegations of misconduct that portrayed defendant in a highly prejudicial light,” it said.

Judge Jenny Rivera called the errors “egregious” and said the remedy is a new trial. Weinstein's accusers could again be called to testify if prosecutors decide to pursue another trial."
​

Now that sounds suspiciously like Trump's conviction in the Jean Carrol case, which we know was just upheld and is moving onto further appeal, but it also sounds a lot like the Engoron ruling, eh?

But because it's Trump all of the appeals will likely have to go all the way to the supreme court, where, you know, despicables will start howling about prejudiced judges.
