In fairness, one can be clear in telling a lie.

Someone commented that when the statement begins with "Let's be clear," a big lie follows.

Best comment? "As it turns out, he only has 1/1024th of the constitutional authority you think he has."

Whattchu bitchin' about. At least he didn't run for mayor (and lose).

SCOTUS heard arguments yesterday. From what I've read, it did not go well for the administration.

Government doesn't need to be in the student loan business, anyway.

Educational credentials for everybody is an important part of equity. We're long past the point where the credentials are meaningful in terms of how intelligent or able a person is, but people are not, by and large, intelligent or able enough to understand that. It's difficult not to feel sorry for young people who strive for that university degree, which their parents never got, who think it's worth so much, not knowing it's a meaningless symbol, dumbed down to nothing. I hope it at least helps them get a job. We'll have a nonsense job economy after AI takes over anyway. I shudder to think of the 'skills' it will take to get ahead in the corporate world, after all vestiges of ability are obsoleted.

The awkward silence after he says, "That's what (SCOTUS) is there for, to follow the law."

What a maroon.

Wait, I'm still listening to him.... he registered for, applied for, and got into a college and only then did he run the numbers of what it would cost and was surprised. Smart man.
