Enough With The Cutesy Titles, People Are Dead: US Politics January 2021 pt 2

still catching up on today's executive orders, any one of which would really be a banner day in us politics all by itself, in a "friends, let's pause the scuffle for one night - we just won a BIG win" kind of way. like... the muslim country travel ban got 86'ed!!

Everyone's just drunk and grumpy from toasting Trump's end, after not having drunk much this past year.

Whatever payment program you get on, please make sure you stay on top of whatever they ask of you and never, ever deviate from the terms. Never autopilot it; stay on top of all correspondence and make sure that your are meeting every payment you need to make, because otherwise they will kick you off of it and add any accrued interest to your principal and start charging you interest based on that.

btw I now work for a company that processes employer benefits around student loans, ama

true. my loan kept going to different servicers, which for a while resulted in my payment counts being wrong as data was not properly entered each time it got transferred. i didn't keep proof of it because what could possibly go wrong? then you can't log into the old servicer's system and i changed bank accounts, etc. fortunately a few months ago the new servicer fixed it on their own since they've been sued so many times. but i learned to keep my paperwork.

i have been reasonably ok about being on top of my student loans, but last year etc. just got off the phone with my servicer apparently all i need to do is fill out the pslf form.

This press conference is....better than expected

My capacity for expectation has been obliterated but yes

Favourite Bernie that I've seen today.

Something screenshotted on twitter about white nationalists may be trying to recruit disillusioned Qanoners (the ones who don't already think of themselves *that* way)---then later somebody tweeted "an interesting dichotomy" between Trump as shit fascist /great for Zionism...will this be the attempted point of entry---?

Strange that if the guy behind Qanon has outed himself and said the project's over are a load of people going to jump down the rabbit hole after him again. Was it just dismissed as misdirection.

the day that donald j. trump finally became president

lol can't wait for the post-presidency "increasingly isolated" reports

Feel like when Trump croaks his dying inanity, someone will unironically headline it with “he finally sounded presidential.”

is there any chance of, i don't know, the southern district of new york announcing criminal charges against trump tomorrow? or this evening?

Biden should give the guy who punched Spencer the Medal of Freedom.

i am ready for the wave of accountability, if it is ever going to come

First Presidential dick punch goes to ole Zodiac

By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.

I think he’s confused about what the Paris agreement is!

The man is relentless.

Treaty of Versailles wtf who cares what a palace in France thinks

Tourist: Look! A bunch of cows.
Cowboy: Not “bunch”—“herd.”
Tourist: Heard what?
Cowboy: Herd of cows.
Tourist: Sure, I’ve heard of cows.
Cowboy: No, a cow herd.
Tourist: I don't care what no cow heard!

Treaty of Paris is ironically Joe Versailles the volcanoes

:(

come on, that was good

dan

I'm not saying Sen Cruz is a bit of a dumbbell but his mother obv had very strong arms.

Fpd dan, i dont need the encouragement

This Celebrating America special has flaws.

In addition to all of the shitbirds who infested his administration I hope we never hear from or about Haberman again.

Lmao this fucken crew

NEWWWWS -- Michael Flynn's brother was on the call and resisting emergency pleas for the National Guard when the Capitol was under attack Jan. 6. The Army falsely denied it for weeks. me w the greats: @DanLamothe @PaulSonne @byaaroncdavis https://t.co/k6QNnXrwBh

cruz was just echoing a shitty talking point used by trump when he announced he was pulling out of the accord, except no one but cruz cares a damn what instantly forgettable crap trump said way back then.

Man-del-baum, Man-del-baum, Man-del-baum...

How can any GOP voter see that “Pittsburgh not Paris” line and not feel that their intelligence was insulted

Oh wait

Yeah Cruz knows what the Paris Agreement is, he's just pandering to people who he thinks don't. I don't think it's going to help him much though. People will vote for a baked potato over him.

I don’t think he’s pandering to people who don’t. I think he’s shitposting to get a rise out of people like us because 1) it’s his only political move at this point 2) it’s his kink.

Trump actually went to Pittsburgh and said he was gonna bring the smokestacks back, mayor and others were like, "eeww gross." They've moved on.
Pittsburgh Symphony just now beginning w "The Paris, by Mozart," on NPR, believe it or don't

Pretty good so far!

I can’t believe there’s a new president I thought we were done with presidents

NEW: White House official confirmed for me that Joe Biden just fired Peter Robb after he refused to resign as NLRB general counsel.
