We bail corporations and other non-person entities out all the time, Greg. It's just this time, we are not bailing out the rich and corporations and stockholders and hedge fund managers. Maybe you could explain why Republicans are always ok with corporate welfare, but when it comes to helping out the middle-class, it's socialism?

1. I am not a republican

2. I was NOT a fan of bailing out auto makers, airlines or any other corporations including bankers. 

3. I am a fan of sink or swim on your own for individuals, corporations etc. If they cant cut the mustard they will be replaced with those that can.....Who is John Galt?

This bothers you? I have been an independent for a couple decades and I vote how I see it. Which is usually albeit not always republican.

I don't think you can remember the last time you didn't vote Republican.

I know my primary reason and I am sure the reason most others oppose student loan "forgiveness" probably do so on the grounds that the loans aren’t being forgiven, but rather,  paid or reduced, by tax-payer money. Taxpayers, who have their own debts to pay and especially those who have already paid off their own student loans, are not eager to contribute to this blatant vote-buying handout right before an election.

Under the 10th Amendment, the federal government has no jurisdiction in education or student loans as well.

You know Lacey is not going to put up any of that.....as usual, it is all declarative statement with no substantive evidence. Certainly predictable though smile

Sort of like destroying subpoenaed cell phones I guess.....

Sadly it reeks of desperation to find something, anything to keep Trump from running again smile

Or the NY attorney general's case into tax fraud? Or the Jan. 6th capital riot due to his and his minions lies and more lies about the 2020 election? I will say this, the man has teflon like no other.

Really, I ask this seriously. Aren't you tired of it all? Is he really worth it?

For 6 years now the left has been throwing lies and outrage at Trump and so far nothing has stuck. You know what they say about crying wolf right?

The entertainment value alone almost makes it worth it lol 

My thoughts on the issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcKP-DgfjEg

Its almost like you guys are in a contest to see how much drama you can spread regarding your hatred of all things Trump while you try to reinforce each other. Good for a chuckle at least.... smile

Despite all the uproar, innuendo and straight up lies  on Trump this and Trump that regarding Mar-a-Lago from what I can see it boils down to they found some declassified (debatable) documents that were being kept locked up and guarded 24/7 by the Secret Service and none of them were digital and accessible by hackers. Sounds like Mountains and Molehills to me. Understandable given the hearings were turning out to be a nothing burger that as much noise and misdirection as possible would happen with this.....

Kept locked up and guarded 24/7 by the Secret Service?? LOL. Deluded

Are you going to actually pretend former Presidents are not assigned secret service agents 24/7 and that those records were not in a locked room behind a lock issued to keep them locked up months ago? Who is deluded? LOL

Ok so you contend that Trump packed the boxes that were sent to Mar-a-Lago as well? Do you also contend that they were not locked up behind a lock issued for that very purpose months ago until such time as the archivists could go through them? It is just another witch hunt same as the Russian collusion crap......

I am no great fan of Trump, but he is a damn sight better option than Obama or Biden......Its hard to get past his ego I admit.....but that is true of just about every President we have had lol
