Just to be clear, it is perfectly legal for the president to drone strike the judge’s house
-
Or the DOE complex with the servers and records...
Just saying.
-
Ok, this was probably totally unintentionally hilarious, but DoE is the accepted abbreviation for Department of Energy. Aka the department that handles nukes.
Department of Education is DoEd to distinguish them.
So when I read this I was like "oh...? Joker mode? Some men just want to watch the world burn, etc.?"
Slightly disappointed, but still funny.

Couldn’t he just walk in and hit delete though?
-
-
Or just ignore them!
-
A real leader would have black-bagged all the supreme court judges (maybe not the dissenting ones) the minute they made that judgement to prove a point.
-
-
Im never going to pay my fucking loans they're going to have to kill me
-
Wonder if I can incorporate and then pay myself enough to stay under the amount that requires payment... if I ever make any real money.
-
They'll just ruin your social credit and bar you from homeownership, which, let's face it basically means that the state will pick on you harder.
Almost like in Bad Country™
-
This country is shit rotten and leaves you in different degrees of chains and has for centuries unless you’ve been a member of the oppressing class
Dear god how isn’t everyone a ML if you accept this reality
-
Well, that takes understanding context, history, material conditions, class relations, some basic economics and philosophy.
Or, you can listen to the guy on the radio and the blonde on TV, who say it's the Mexican laborers, black thugs, Muslim terrorists, and Jewish bankers. Oh, and the gays. And liberal elite, college professors. And since everything in that list is easily categorizable as the one word "woke", it's clearly a simpler explanation.

So, that's literally everything now, right? Biden's administration has now officially done nothing over the last 4 years, aside from ending the COVID State of Emergency?
And of course propping up fascist regimes in Ukraine and Israel.

People try to give him credit for ending afghanistan but then was technically trump lol. Trump started the pullout then left it for Biden to deal with the messy fallout
-
He signed a bill to build a huge water hungry microchip facility in the middle of the desert that might never break ground and briefly made it cheaper to buy electric cars
-
And then banned Chinese EVs
-
Ground broke years ago, but it might never make any chips
-
-
Meaningful? Yes, nothing.
Technically between now and when the interest easement started some people have had less interest to pay and lower payments. But presumably that will stop too.
Thanks Joe.

Doesn't the president have unlimited power now?
-
The P(R)esident has unlimited power. The Presi(D)ent is just an average Joe like you and me.
-
Basically what the court thinks
-
-
Yeah but using it would be uncivil
-
Sorry sweaty, the president can only do unlimited crimes
-
-
-
If you don't have your own plan, you become part of someone else's plan, and their plan likely won't be in your favor.

We need the emoji of charlie brown soaring backwards when he misses the kick

How does standing work here? What "injury" are these state attorneys able to point to?
-
Standing is dead. Remember the woman who sued for the right to refuse to make wedding websites for gay couples before she even started making wedding websites and then the Supreme Court agreed?
-
Corpus delecti can shove its corpus errecti up it corpus corpussy

-
It's okay, lemmy libs have been taking credit for this for months at least, so it must have actually done good before this point, right?
-

Goodbye house!

That's what they'll call the debtors prisons next year when they're built

"Oh you went to college and got into life crippling debt to do engineering or science? :smuglord: smh you should have taken up a trade instead of dreaming. You can learn your science from PragerU instead, peasants"
-
I'm sure nobody being able to afford to learn advanced sciences will not affect the empire in the slightest.
-
-
it would be very funny if the courts invalidate the entire 4 years of Biden's presidency, and Trump can run a third time because technically, we didn't have a 46th president.

Would not surprise me to see this specific action resulting in some more attempted adventure time scenarios.
It could be naiivety, but I feel like the US populace is genuinely at a breaking point now and the added financial stress is ramping up domestic pressure even further.
-
man we been at the precipice for ages and nothing has happened. biggest thing this decade was trump getting winged.
i'm not saying 'nah never will happen' but many ppl been at the breaking point for awhile, it's hard to imagine atomised individual adventuristic violence will do anything at all
-
imo summer of 2020 was bigger than trump's near miss
-
Oh I don't expect it to do anything productive- I'm just incredibly aware that a lot of people in the US were in dire financial situations prior to this ruling and will now potentially lose everything because of it and many of those people just experienced the most in-your-face adventurism attempt in their lifetimes. It's those two unique factors together that make me think this could be especially unstable.
-
man we been at the precipice for ages and nothing has happened. biggest thing this decade was trump getting winged.
We were literal inches away from a president being assassinated.

Even 2008 led to Occupy. Things did happen they just didn't bring the results we want for obvious reasons but millenials were only the first generation to deal with late stage capitalism and I'd not say the US is in better shape in 2024 than 2004, absolutely no way you can point to any social indicator or internal political analysis.
Yes its not enough but you should expect an exponential increase as things get worse simultaneously. Student debt and healthcare were the traditional core issues for Bernie voters, but these days just affording rent and food is also a core issue.

Rip me
-
aint lookin great for me either tbh
-
-
Thank god they've never blocked any payments to Ukraine or Isn'treal!
-
In authoritarian communism the people are slaves to the government+capitlalist corporations and have nowhere to go if they don’t make enough money to afford rent
-
Biden doing his best to throw the election.
-
-
And still not paying

Debtors prison is quite possibly the most unamerican practice one could instate. The US is more than a little unique with practices such as defaulting on debt being solely a civil matter and one with a 7 year statute of limitations. The US was founded on the idea that someone can repeatedly go bankrupt without any real consequences other than not being able to get future credit until debts are somehow settled or a decade has passed. It's extremely British to instate debtors prison, criminal liability for defaulting on debt, legal liability for debt being inherited by next of kin upon death, and psycho shit like denying a person burial/cremation until their debt is paid.
Abolishing that British practice of putting all liability on the barrower was one of the petite bourgeoisie goals of the US founders. A big change was all debts dying with the original debtors rather than being inherited by next of kin. One of the major revolutionary changes the US brought about was the idea that almost all liability is on the lender (unless the barrower knowingly commited fraud, ie lied while being evaluated for credit) because they should have been more responsible in gauging risk since extending credit is no different than any other form of gambling/speculation.

Was wondering who appointed the judge who made the decision just out of curiosity.
Wasn't Trump:
Thanks Obungler
Obama really driving Joe into the earth lately
Playing the long con to cement his legacy as "The Only Good Democrat After Bush"
