I dunno. Ever since her duchessness booked that Oprah interview, millions of people the world over collectively lost interest all interest in reading or seeing anything involving Markle again. As far as stepping away from the public spotlight goes, that seemed pretty effective!

Exactly. I’m 42, I make $75k/year and I’m divorced with three children; I have $30,000 in student debt - this would knock out a third of it. That is HUGELY meaningful to me.

The average student debt load in the U.S. is around $28,000. $10-20K in forgiveness for people making under $125k isn’t a panacea, but it’s a step forward.

Don’t underplay this.

you’re probably better off not wasting your time with a “no I’m not/yes you are” debate of this nature with a troll *who’s calling you the troll* LOL. Go be a grad student, it’s a better use of your time.

“I remember one time when we went out to dinner with my dad, the world’s most functional alcoholic. He ordered a carafe of wine for himself, but the waitress understandably brought him a glass. He said ‘I wanted a carafe, this is just enough to make me angry.’ ”

Richard Nixon recorded himself saying things that awful and worse. Every member of the Reagan administration said plenty of those things. Bush Sr.’s Willie Horton ad was racist as fuck and aired on national television.

“[S]he recently said that the navy should set up a block of North Africa to prevent migrants from entering Italy.”

Did she mention how big this block of North Africa should be? And where, specifically, she wants to put the block of North Africa? How, precisely, would a block of North Africa prevent migrants from…

He’s not? Looks like Russia’s gain is our loss.

Can we possibly trade Rodman to get Griner back?  You think Putin would fall for that one?

If the races were reversed, she would have never used it.

Let’s get this straight. She is not really against immigrants. She is only against immigrants that don’t look white.

Meloni, however, has doubled down.

So are people genuinely interested in this show? It still seems amazing to me that they’re doing more GoT, given how badly the last series ended. This series doesn’t seem to have anyone to root for, just more gratuitous gore and tits, or am I missing something?

I’m so sick of them pretending that they’re doing this for “historical accuracy” when the vast majority of the female characters in G0T were conventionally attractive, skinny, and completely hairless below their eyebrows.

Mortal Dictata, like clockwork. Dare to disagree, get greyed. Never fails.

While I can’t comment on that first part, I can easily see it being a video lifted out of context as that happens a lot, on that second part? As a Finn? Allow me to just state that you have no fucking idea what you are talking about as this is not a typical Finnish political scandal and is in many ways telling of…

I made the point in the other post, but feel need to reiterate here. It wasn’t the conservative figures making noise about this, although the leader of the True Finns did smuggly suggest that Marin take that drug test. The national media was the one that made a huge deal out of this and then tried to explain multiple…

The LA County sheriff’s department should be ashamed of themselves, but then they have to have a conscience to do that. Totally support Mrs. Bryant and pray for her to stay strong and get justice for her husband and daughter in Heaven and her daughters here on Earth with her.

Oh.  Good.  More studying.
