IS IT OVER YET?

Student loan debt is the largest bubble out there that has yet to burst, mostly due to the fact that even if someone decides that their finances are so fucked that bankruptcy is their only choice, they still cannot discharge student loan debt most of the time. Because schools and lenders know this, and because…

The Trump administration has been sidelining and diminishing the office role that Frotman held to the point that staying no longer provided any help regardless of how much he wanted to stand up for the students.

Frotman has my sympathies. Mulvaney and the rest of the Trump criminal mob are impossible to work for unless you are part of their criminal conspiracy.

“...also cc’d Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, and the chairs and ranking members of each Senate and House committee that has oversight over the CFPB.”

Republican strategists understand what motivates people (re: white people) to vote. It’s fear. Hope is nice, and anger can be extraordinarily motivating but is temporary and depends on constant refueling - both hope and anger often lead to burnout and apathy. Neither are how the modern Republican ideology was built.…

Hamilton, unless I missed it, I haven’t seen a single post from you about the new Poor People’s Campaign. They get almost zero media coverage (gee, I can’t imagine why), so it would be nice if they got more exposure.

This is circumstantial evidence that Cohen was involved with the campaign.  (It’s also direct evidence that he was on the plane at a specific time and date). It is also evidence that would be used to impeach Trump, if he was a witness. By itself, it means little. With other evidence, particularly Trump’s statements…

So either he’s a liar or he doesn’t have the competence to distinguish truth from fiction.

At this point the only thing any sane lawyer would say to Trump is

I’m an old who was glued to the Watergate hearings when I was a precocious pre-teen and I remember it well. What I’ve been hearing since 45 took the oath makes all that look like nothing, it is getting worse by the week and still we have most of the house and senate with their heads in the sand (or up their asses) and…

Can we take a step back and look at the fact that the president’s criminal defense lawyer is on TV ALL THE TIME trying to defend him from accusations?

I know this is just wishful thinking, and we can’t expect Todd and his producers to forego all the sweet, sweet outrage views they get every week, but...

This was always the end for America. Eventually the right was going to drop the pretense and go full fascist. It was only a matter of time, but I didn’t think it would happen this fast. Russia really forced them to accelerate their timeline in a big way.

Aaannnd that about wraps it up, folks.  The American experiment is finished.  I think it was a good effort in the beginning, but in the end, it turned out to be a giant jack off:  Free everything for the winners, coffee and doughnuts for mom and dad, and balloon animals for the kids.  So take down that flag, fold it…

She’s a dreadful human. Really dreadful. Opportunistic, anomic, disturbingly empty. There appears to be no there there.

TL;DR: Melania is a former model-cum-escort-cum-trophy wife who illegally worked legitimate jobs when she wasn’t moonlighting by sucking flaccid white dicks for money in America long enough to con a fat, twice-divorced, short-fingered vulgarian to put a ring on it so she could lay listlessly under his heaving obesity…

It took two 11 year-olds less than 20 minutes to hack replicas of the Florida state elections website. Cool.
