  1. The middle-class will be the main beneficiary. It may explain why GOP politicians are so angry, as it is a key electoral target for them. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-has-run-the-numbers-on-student-loan-relief-heres-their-assessment-11661417918?siteid=yhoof2
  2. It is a bit complex, but as far as I understand, the government has already funded the loans. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-has-run-the-numbers-on-student-loan-relief-heres-their-assessment-11661417918?siteid=yhoof2
  3. It looks like Biden is getting more incisive: “Trump and the extreme MAGA Republicans have made their choice,” said Biden, using the acronym for Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan. “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism,” Biden said later in his speech." https://news.yahoo.com/bidens-1st-midterms-campaign-speech-targets-trump-and-maga-republicans-010136000.html
  4. After Fox News, National Review! How I like right-wing media those days! ???? Another quote: "Given that the former president was not responsibly securing the government’s most closely held intelligence, that he was trying to prevent the FBI from examining what he’d returned, that his lawyers were either misinformed about or lying about the classified information still retained at Mar-a-Lago, and that even the issuance of a grand-jury subpoena (with potential criminal penalties for noncompliance) had not succeeded in getting Trump to hand over the remaining classified information, what option short of a search warrant would have sufficed?"
  5. Ok but did the poster, who introduced this article, present it as an opinion?
  6. I know, but as you truncated my post, it lost its meaning. My post started with "Surprisingly enough".... And surprisingly enough, this article was quite informative and not full of Trumpish B.S.
  7. I hope for them they got paid in advance, because they gave Trump a good reason for not paying them ????
  8. Right. I also did not find anything on the homepage and had to search a bit. They obviously don't want to put this topic forward now.
  9. Surprisingly enough, a rather good factual account about this letter in this article, which is hidden inside Fox News website. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-signed-off-fbi-review-trump-records-national-archives-letter-reveals
  10. Interesting quote from the article (I cannot read the rest, It's under paywall): "Merrick Garland, the attorney-general, would have anticipated that. He is a painstaking former prosecutor and judge—too painstaking for many Democrats who, just as Republicans claim, are quivering to see Mr Trump prosecuted. If Mr Garland made the decision himself to proceed, as seems likely, he must have concluded that legal considerations left him with no choice"
  11. Like this one? ???? https://www.amazon.com/Trump-Coloring-Book-M-Anthony/dp/1682610284
  12. But no "books about me" section!
  13. More fun from the Fox News article ."This Mar-a-Lago Break-In, Search, and Seizure was illegal and unconstitutional, and we are taking all actions necessary to get the documents back, which we would have given to them without the necessity of the despicable raid of my home, so that I can give them to the National Archives until they are required for the future Donald J. Trump Presidential Library and Museum" Trump library! ????
  14. And Trump goes on with his incoherent lies.... "ALL documents have been previously declassified," Trump said. "We are demanding the appointment of a SPECIAL MASTER to oversee the handling of the materials taken in the raid. We are further demanding that the DOJ be forced to turn over a REAL, without ‘plants,’ inventory of my property that was taken and disclose where that property is now located." ????
  15. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear!
  16. The trade war has been a complete failure, as expected. The trade deficit with China even increased after the introduction of tariffs. Trump also scrapped the TPP, leaving the region under the economic influence of China. On top of it, the tough man shamelessly asked China for help ???? "Trump publicly asks China to probe Biden, even amid impeachment inquiry" https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-whistleblower-idUSKBN1WI0BC "According to Bolton, — who reportedly based his memoir on notes and contemporaneous accounts — during the meeting with Xi in 2019, Trump suggested increased agricultural purchases by Beijing from American farmers would help aid his reelection chances." https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbrewster/2020/06/17/trump-pressed-chinas-xi-to-help-him-ensure-reelection-according-to-bolton-book/?sh=3bcabe062e41
  17. I understand McConnell.......???? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dr-mehmet-oz-old-poop-tweets_n_63039e94e4b0f7df9bb25903
  18. Rasmussen report...... What was the question? " Do you agree that there's “a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI who are using the FBI … as Joe Biden‘s personal Gestapo.” ????
  19. Outdated poll (May 5-7,9-10, 2022) before the effect of the committee could really be felt. A more recent one (21 July): "A majority (57%) said Trump is to blame a great deal or a good amount for the Capitol riot, including 92% of Democrats and 57% of independents, but just 18% of Republicans. https://www.npr.org/2022/07/21/1112546450/a-majority-thinks-trump-is-to-blame-for-jan-6-but-wont-face-charges-poll-finds
  20. Why is it that when I check a source linked by MAGA folks, I so often find out It's <deleted>. Quote From your source (an OPINION paper, not a research): "Rather than review all 10,000, I focused on the most recent 50 claims in both “economy” and “jobs,” mostly because I’m confident in the subject matter, and the data is well at hand. I found 27 out of 100 Trump comments to be defensible if not unimpeachably accurate." 50 selected cases out of 10,000! ???? What about the Big Lie, Crowdstrike was a Ukrainian company, "This is a flu. This is like a flu", etc... "an honest capable President respecting his adversaries"! ???? Are you trying to compete with Trump? Or did you forget birtherism, pizzagate, "lock her up", the Democrats have stolen elections, Ilhan Omar supports al Qaeda, Biden will destroy protections for pre-existing conditions, etc... And what about McConnell, who is the subject of this thread, does Trump respect him with so much name calling?
  21. In brief, do you agree to parents making deaths threats to and harassing school officials, as your previous post suggests?
  22. He was a war apologist. Now he knows what It's like to have his child killed!
