Forgive Student Loans?

Forgive Medical Debt?
MAGA: THAT’S SOCIALISM!
Forgive debt convicted fraudsters who stole millions?
MAGA: THAT’S MY PRESIDENT!
MAGAs exploit the poor & bootlick the wealthy, all while carrying a cross—exactly what Jesus specifically warned to NOT do.

At least 20 people who have received clemency from President Trump so far this year were also forgiven of financial penalties totaling tens of millions of dollars.
Some of these offenders owed money to real-life victims of fraud.

Trump’s pardons wipe out payments to defrauded victims
In addition to clearing prison sentences, the president’s clemency actions have erased millions in restitution payments.

What the WH released basically equates to NOTHING!!! This is not a shocker. The continued mistreatment, by our government at the demands of rich people to the victims, is the only news here. WTF are you people doing?!? Insanity!

This was highly covered in the Filthy Rich: Epstein documentary on Netflix. Lets ya know how much people have really paid attention. Laughable but at least they are awake now.
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Mike Johnson has lost control of the House.
This is the first time since the 75th Congress in 1937–1939 that four discharge petitions have succeeded.

There’s only one story tonight - Trump is unwell and unfit. Everything else is just detail.

Blaming immigrants leads nonimmigrants to believe they’re not at risk, which makes them less likely to protect themselves or to seek out testing when they become sick—harming themselves while infecting others. trib.al/CbDIaun
The Racist Worldview Behind the New Vaccine Recommendations
ACIP’s recent decision to scrap hepatitis B vaccine recommendations for infants is inextricable from its advisers’ apparent belief that immigrants bring disease.

William Wolfe, if he has ever exceeded the speed limit or littered or jaywalked, is a criminal. Given those facts, William Wolfe, by nature of being a criminal, is a public safety threat. (Am I doing this right?)

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
