Was wondering who appointed the judge who made the decision just out of curiosity.
Wasn't Trump: obama

    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.

    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.

    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.

    How does standing work here? What "injury" are these state attorneys able to point to?

    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?

    "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.

    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.
