@fawfulfan So, the campaign promise to forgive at least $10,000 per borrower was BS and we should let that slide?

The most fatal argument against blanket student loan forgiveness right now, both from a policy and a popularist perspective, is how do you get the $2 trillion? Biden promised no new taxes on the middle class. That only leaves deficit spending, which will cause WAY more inflation.

Please avoid shipping code with console warnings.

@DoctorRickD I personally find our septuagenarian, octogenarian, and nonagenarian leaders quite inspiring. It gives me hope for my own future and the possibility to cling to what little power I have right until the bitter end!

given that we have a minimum age for Senators, why do we not have a maximum age? Make much more sense to have a maximum than a minimum. Obviously will never happen given it would require a Constitutional amendment, but it clear is the right thing to do sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

I won’t be sticking around.

@BillKristol But they won't.

A member of Congress accuses 3 (really 53) senators of being “pro-pedophile” for supporting a Supreme Court nominee. This is sick, and dangerous. A Republican should introduce the censure motion tomorrow, Republicans should vote en masse for it, and support her primary opponent.

@YoMamaWally @JohnathanPerk Nice. I did not know the origin!

@JohnathanPerk Gorp.

@mtaibbi @BlockslawCrypto I do.

@BlockslawCrypto Do you ask the same of the New York Times, the Washington Post, etc?

This past weekend, journalist and author Chris Hedges woke up to find six years of episodes of his show On Contact removed from YouTube: taibbi.substack.com/p/meet-the-cen…

@laurieontech Yes, but do we really need a switch statement?

Genuine question, how many of you can write a JS switch statement from memory? And not mess up the syntax?

@DoctorRickD “Think about it…”

Some say the United States came from England. If that's true, why does England still exist?

@DoctorRickD Wow 30!

My daughter turned 30 on Saturday. First off all, I can't believe that. Second, worth noting that Republican presidential candidates have won the popular vote exactly ONE time in her life

@DoctorRickD And I think I just got the Burt Reynolds shout out. 🙂

@teeehndotcom great reference! However for organized sports, it is the original sin. If the outcome of the game has any doubt it is on the level, that's the end of professional sports. It's not hyperbole to say, for the sport itself, point shaving is a worse crime than murder

This problem is inevitably going to increase. There is a reason that gambling is by FAR the biggest sin for organized sports. Betting on a game is, for the sport at least, more important than ANY crime slate.com/culture/2022/0…

@DoctorRickD There always has been gambling and fixes in pro sports. Nobody wants to admit it openly though. 🤷‍♂️

@StrikeDebt @AmbRice46 Fascinating article.

.@AmbRice46 is one of the wealthiest people in the Biden administration, with assets somewhere between $36 and $149 million Her kids won't have a penny of student debt abcnews.go.com/US/obama-era-o…

People always ask us who within the Biden admin is standing in the way of student debt cancellation If this isn't accurate @AmbRice46 here is an excellent chance to correct the record by publically and forcefully calling on Biden to cancel all student debt

@ggreenwald That is a great question.

What's the argument that Saudi Arabia is more moral, ethical, humane and/or democratic than Russia, and buying oil from the Saudi despots instead of Russia is an advancement of noble or virtuous values? Does anyone have a link to an article that would help understand this view?

@DoctorRickD Lol

Any other Celtics fans planning on watching the HBO Laker's series up to the episode that covers the 1984 finals, and then stopping?

@DoctorRickD Lol That was before my time actually. 🙃 But more to my point they have the power to change the rules, but instead they choose to be jerks. 🤷‍♂️

@teeehndotcom Groucho wouldn't give you the 50 bucks if you didn't say the magic word. Same thing here apparently

Just a reminder that even mainstream religions are all basically insane cults. So because the man in the hat didn't say the right magic words, these babies would go to purgatory rather than heaven if they died. Makes sense news.yahoo.com/baptisms-perfo…

I’m done.
