“We all supported the paycheck protection program, remember? It was a worthy program but let’s be clear, some of the same Republicans, members of Congress, who strongly opposed giving relief to students got hundreds of thousands of dollars themselves in relief.” – President Joe Biden
At their weekly prayer group meeting in Critteville, some will choke on the “forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors” line.
Do hope that some enterprising reporter exposes and names ALL of those in congress who gladly accepted their PPP loan, were forgiven same but now relish that those in far lesser circumstances are not being forgiven their student loans. Biden Mocks Republicans for Accepting PPP Relief After SCOTUS Student Loans Decision (businessinsider.com) President Joe Biden on Friday criticized Republicans who opposed his roughly $400 billion student loan forgiveness program but gladly took federal pandemic relief funds in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that axed his current plan. “We all supported the paycheck protection program, remember?” Biden told reporters in a brief statement from the White House. “It was a worthy program but let’s be clear, some of the same Republicans, members of Congress, who strongly opposed giving relief to students got hundreds of thousands of dollars themselves in relief.” Biden and the White House have previously tweaked the GOP over what it sees as apparent hypocrisy. The fact that the president returned to the theme in the wake of Friday’s Supreme Court decision underlines how Democrats may see political gains for pining the program’s demise on more than just the Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the court’s 6-3 decision that found the Biden administration did not have the proper authority under a 9/11-era law to propose roughly $400 billion in relief without explicit congressional approval. Roberts was joined by the court’s other five conservatives in ruling against the White House in Biden v. Nebraska. This time, President… Read more »

Luv that focus on congressional freeloaders. WH also put out a list, Marjorie Taylor Greene got nearly $200,000 in forgiven pandemic loans.
back in 2022 stories on same subject Fact-check: These Republican politicians had PPP loans forgiven (statesman.com) Viral Instagram post: Image claims to show a list of “Republican members of Congress whose PPP loans were forgiven.” PolitiFact’s ruling: True Here’s why: Conservative politicians have condemned President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel certain student debt. U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., said it would be unfair to people who didn’t take on loan or who already paid theirs off. U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., said the relief shouldn’t be footed by farmers, ranchers and teachers. And the House Judiciary GOP tweeted, “If you take out a loan, you pay it back. Period.” That’s when the plan’s proponents, including the White House itself, fired back with what they suggested was evidence of Republican hypocrisy: screenshots of Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness that purportedly benefited these same congressional members. “Republican members of Congress whose PPP loans were forgiven,” read an Aug. 24 Instagram post that listed the names of 13 members of Congress, including Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.. Alongside each name was a federal loan figure in the thousands or millions of dollars that had supposedly been canceled under that pandemic-era program. The list is a screenshot from Twitter of a tweet made by the Center for American Progress Action, a left-leaning public policy think tank. The organization was responding to a post from the House Judiciary GOP’s Twitter account that said, “If you take out a loan, you pay it back. Period.” The Instagram post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false… Read more »
Biden needs to pack the court, gloves off
What would Mitch do.
If Mitch were a Dem, he’d still be obstructing the Kavanaugh and Coney-Barret nominations.
Make a list of every Dem who voted to confirm those two
When I see Marjorie Taylor Green. I want to slap her. Yes, I know it is wrong and I probably wouldn’t do it but really if anyone deserves it it’s her
crackers – Boebert will probably do it for you, eventually.
bid
I would pay her
literally speaking
a veritable bitch slap
Best if they were to knock each other out, over and over, for a week.
Large Marge would break Bobo like a twig. And last I heard, since the “little bitch” comment went so unfortunately public, was that’s probably exactly what she plans to do at the earliest opportunity.
Pat, amen!!
Haha, gettin weird over in Twitter’s
Twitter has applied a temporary limit to the number of tweets users can read in a day, owner Elon Musk has said. In a tweet, Mr Musk said unverified accounts can
read up to 600 posts a day.
lol
If you’re reading along you know, like you do——all of a sudden you get a WARNING…..You’re reading too fast— try again later.
Bobo is as good as out anyway—she keeps getting in the way with her dumb shit.
Last year, Democrat Adam Frisch launched what most thought was a longshot bid for Congress against one of the nation’s most famous conservative firebrands: Rep. Lauren Boebert. It ended up becoming the closest House race in the country, with the Republican incumbent squeaking through by 546 votes. Now Frisch is running again as less of a longshot and more of a certified contender, arguing the proof of concept he delivered last time will mean swing voters will be even more open to backing him in 2024.
