Today would be a great day to cancel every last penny of the student debt of more than 40 million Americans
How about ubi? Universal healthcare? Let's go Joe. Let's fucking go.
How does criminal immunity mean Biden can make huge legislative changes??
Because he literally could have seal team 6 go to their houses in the middle of the night and convince them to pass the legislation. He's the most powerful person in the world - especially now.
That's not even remotely close to what this decision means.
They literally mention seal team 6 and the ability to do this in the decision.
No they didn't. A dissenting opinion mentioned that might theoretically be possible as a warning. You don;t understand this decision.
You clearly don't understand the implications of this decision.
Yes I do. I really fucking do.
No bud, you really really don’t.
You're the first person I've seen who understands immunity is not authority.
So he can just break the law, not help citizens.Â
Isn't helping citizens against the law to the gqp?
Yes but you do realize it is very easy to have unlimited authority when you have the immunity to do anything you want to obtain and keep that authority. That is how it works.
He could sell out the US to a foreign nation to back a coup and it would still be inconsequential to him.
I do realize exactly that. But we're not at full authority yet, were still in like, 1933
Yes! ✊ (not a student and have no student debt)
Same here! Not a student anymore and already paid mine off. 100% in favor of forgiveness. Can't grow our country without smart people behind it!!
thank you for caring about your fellow american..
i am coming out of school with $100k+ in student debt (unfortunately unavoidable, i had to go to an out of state school). it upsets me to no end when people have the justification that “well if i paid, then everyone else has to as well!”… why would you want another person to suffer like that?
This social worker (with student debt) thanks you for your empathy!!
He still wouldn't be able to do it though. Because the ruling today said that he just can't be prosecuted for it, not that the court can't review.

Force the court's hand. Just cancel the debt in one fell swoop.
The Supreme Court doesn't even attempt to honor stare decisis. They don't attempt to make any rational sense.
The Supreme Court will bring us back to the 1890s if they get their way.
Force the court’s hand.
Is that something we really want to test after the week we just had?
Edit: I didn’t understand the comment the first time I read it. I’ve changed my mind. That would be hilarious.
Yes
They already said that he can't do it, so it would be challenged again. And there is no law saying that the president can't forgive student loan debt.
1890s would be nice, they are gonna send us back further than that.
The supreme Court has no enforcement mechanism. Let them rule, and then ignore it.
That would be a good solution
Andrew Jackson did this so there’s precedent.
They said he couldn't do it under the HEROES Act. That was it.
You’re assuming he and the Dems actually want to
That's a weird thing to say when they have tried to pass laws and use executive orders and have already cancelled tons of loans. It's like you have some kind of agenda.
Lol ok well then I look forward to being proven wrong. Although I don’t think I will be.
It went all the way to the supreme Court already, how much more proof do you need that he's trying?
Doing something to get re-elected isn’t also the same as doing because you want to.
I’m nice to my bitchy co-worker because it I don’t want to get fired, not because I want to be nice to her.
That's a really weird take. If I offered you a million dollars, would you refuse it because it would make me look good?
Show me the million dollars then I’ll decide.
He could stop patients like they did with Covid and put a restart date in 100 years.
Yea, he can't, within the legal administrative state, cancel debt.
But he could order the military to destroy all Dept. of Ed. records or something crazy like that, and just be immune for violating whatever criminal laws he'd break in that process.
Except he wouldn't be immune. See, his name is Biden, so you know he isn't immune to shit.
He should do it anyway given that he doesn't seem likely to live long enough to see any jail time anyway.
Wipe the debt and dictate that all records of the debt be destroyed. Immunity.
I believe it specifically says Congress can't act upon and the Courts cannot sit in judgment upon his Official Acts?
Do it. Do it all and let the system sort it out after, as just now redesigned.
Better to direct that to Jill. Lol.
Instant 40 million votes. Take a nap at the next debate.
Dude please. I’ve delayed my payments as long as possible. They will start up again next month and I’m stressssssed
Sign up for the income based payments.
Come on Biden, give us universal healthcare and universal higher education!
I'm confused by the Joe comment. Biden sucks, but let's hold Trump accountable for his judge appointments here.
They are suggesting that Joe (Biden) seize on this apparent ability now while he can.
But that sets a terrible precedent.
Yeah by all means let’s just politely bite the curb and wait
That worked so well for the past 50 years right
He’s not going to because he needs the conservative base to vote for him. If he does anything we’ve been asking of him it might jeopardize his bid for reelection.
LOL, ya'all still fantasizing about Dark Brandon. It's not funny anymore. It's fucking tragic.
He would never because he doesn't want to, never had, and never will. There has never been a president more beholden to special interest in a long time, of ever. That's what several decades in the Senate, millions of dollars in "lobbying"/donations/bribes will get you.
If anyone thinks this will suddenly turn Joe "$2 million from AIPAC to fund a genocide" Biden is going to suddenly become a fucking political Batman and start breaking all the rules and laws to bring us a progressive utopia are sniffing glue.
He had a chance to stem the rotten tide of sewage being dumped by SCOTUS, and declined to do literally anything at all. We watched abortion rights that have stood for decades, which Democrats have steadfastly REFUSED to put into law at multiple junctures, evaporate over night so they can campaign on the issue still. Student loans are the same thing. Maybe he'll mention it as a reason to vote for him, but never, ever would he overstep his bounds to do something to liberate millions of Americans from ursurous debt for the crime of getting an education.
BRAVO!! TOO bloody right.
Definitely. He should also ask world leaders what insider secrets they like to buy or see who would like to bribe him for U. S. Intervention since he can't be prosecuted now! You know the orange guy will do it. May as well speed things up and show how democracy dies
Let’s make this a thing and really go after the Supreme Court. Drax them sklounst
Wait...maybe I'm misunderstanding but I thought the ruling is that a President is immune from criminal prosecution. Cancelling student debt could be challenged in court, but regardless of the outcome, it wouldn't lead to criminal prosecution of the President, right?
it's the most benign action Biden could take to demonstrate the new powers of the presidency. The President is also above the Supreme Court!
Not just cancel the debt, pay them back for it too.
You’ve been given POWER Joe, use it for good before you leave this world. Think of your karma, Joe.
He won’t. Even if there is no accountability (there never has been), no politician would dare lift a finger to help anyone other than themselves or their self interest. Our politicians are weak - they would rather take digs at each other or talk about golf…
Joe is a coward and won’t do shit
HE DOES NOT WANT TO. Figure it out. Screw JOE BIDEN, and screw his friends. They're all closeted fascists.
His loan forgiveness wasn't blocked for being a "criminal act", so it isn't allowed today any more than yesterday.
LOL, ya'all still fantasizing about Dark Brandon. It's not funny anymore. It's fucking tragic.
Why? Do you want me to vote for Trump! A single student loan gets forgiven between now and November I’ll vote Trump. I live in PA. My vote matters.
If you’re gonna buy votes, make sure I’m included. Groceries are killing me. I’m spending 3x as much.
Let's be honest, there is no way you weren't going to vote for Trump.
You’re not fooling anyone, dude.
I’m not trying to fool anyone. I’m being completely genuine. I’d rather fuck everyone than just me get fucked. Inflation is too much. Biden should’ve done something about it, but obviously he’s in no condition. I guess I should say his cabinet should’ve done something.
Absolutely agree, it's time for some change.
