I am fine with forgiving loans, but not for anyone making over $90,000 per year already. WTF is that shit about?! You can lead a very affordable lifestyle in this country for $90,000! (I am considering that after taxes, that’s in the $60K take-home range, which is STILL a lot of cash to bring home.)

Money was loaned to students, much of it Federal money. This money comes from Federal taxes. This means I paid for the school loans which are now being cancelled, thus my money is gone. This means the government will need more tax money to fill its coffers for the next round of student loans. It is NOT loan…

So does this apply to students who have not yet attended college? If it doesn’t, it feels a little like a random lottery for a small tranche of students that happened to go to college at just the right time. They win while everyone else pays an obligation that these lottery winners pledged to pay themselves. I can’t…

Suuuuure they would

Really can’t wait for this to devolve further. I can see the headlines now:

Yo you’re not even allowed to say antebellum! That band had to change their name!

No, I don’t, because the vast majority of black people in the USA today are not related to slaves, and none of them have ever been slaves.

I love a good article that makes stupid little leaps in logic when hearing the term “plantation-style house” to “SLAVE HOUSE, IT LOOKS LIKE A SLAVE HOUSE, Y’ALL” as if anyone really gives a shit about such a measly grasping of straws.

Here we go again POlice Chief is believe it or not is a Black Lives Supporter. She actually supported the 500+ riots and lootings across the country claiming “THEY JUST VENTING AND IT’S THEIR REPARATIONS” Ironic how we see out of control fatherless Black felons wreaking havoc in Democrat run cities like my hometown…

And yet you have not managed to emigrate?

The phrasing is that the *relative* amount is driving Griner’s choices: the sentence is literally she went to Russia because she earns so much less. It isn’t true.

“Griner, meanwhile, was playing in Russia during the WNBA off-season because the league’s players earn so much less money than their male counterparts”

Spoiled is certainly not the word I would call her but I do think that it absolutely smacks of privilege that she is receiving such heavy lobbying for release when there are several thousand people in our jails for the exact same crime who are not going anywhere - which none of you seem to recognize. Nor do you want…

This is something that multiple people have brought up though. Does 1 basketball player = 1 arms dealer? And the answer is no, which is why were are also getting a marine. I am hopeful, but barely, that we somehow flipped the arms dealer and have him as an operative. Even though if that were true he’d end up a double…

Per Sportrac, Cambage’s avg. annual salary in the 2018-19 seasons was $114k. That’s not a ton of money if you’re trying to live in downtown DC or LA or something. At the same time, it’s more money than many people who live in those metro areas make. I have no problem with people doing extra work to make extra money…

I don’t understand how she was allowed to play again after what she did and said. A Nigerian born Australian player was left in tears after witnessing her physical and racist attacks against the Nigerian players, and who had to be comforted and defended by others on the Australian team, who were rightly enraged at…

(and without excusing unacceptable behavior)

Are we just going to ignore that her national team also booted her and don’t want her back? There are plenty of other Black women in the WNBA who have pushed back against all the shit and disrespect the league throws at them. There’s no need to lionize Cambage who absolutely seems to be an asshole.
