Okay, so what is he doing to Trump proof stuff?
I read that withdrawing the student loans was actually one of the things. If he hadn't Trump could have used the years long progress to implement his own policies. Now he would have to restart the process over again to make any changes.
He just appointed a bunch of federal judges this week.
He has also just made a new international climate agreement. It can probably be thrown out but it's another thing that would cause a delay. Nothing is going to make anything Trump proof since he controls 3 branches of government and is immune to crimes. It's all stall tactics.
Biden is terrible at marketing the stuff he does. He doesn't do enough and the things he does actually do just gets pushed through without any press. He also publicly shows no fight when things are blocked so it looks like he never even attempted. Still runs things like an old time senator expecting nonbiased journalists to spread the word for him.
Incredibly accurate assessment.
I don't see that. If he had just nutted up to SCOTUS, pulled a Jackson and just said "well shit, here's the thing. MY copy of the law says nothing about large-scale forgiveness or loan modification being the purview of Congress, so I'm just gonna have the DoEd go ahead and discharge all those loans. If YOU want to tell them that they still owe that cash, go right on ahead", I think that would've created a HELL of a lot bigger headache had Trump won - now instead of simply having to tell people "well too bad you have to start paying again", you have to do a LOT more work to notify people that "hey your loans that were forgiven two years ago, we want that money back" and generate a LOT more political ill will in the process.
I thought the supreme Court already ruled on that saying he didn't have the authority? I remember that the lower courts ordered him to halt and not pay out prior to that, while they had just started accepting applications.
The negotiated rulemaking plan B attempt was different.
It's all a mess like everything else in Government. Next year is going to bankrupt people when payments have to resume. Then there are tariffs and trade wars and whatever else. Hope we will be ok.
Trying to finally send all the money approved by Congress to Ukraine
He could use his "official acts" granted by the Supreme Circus to rid us once and for all of this turbulent turd. But he won't.
Motherfucker said "Nothing will fundamentally change"
Pardoning Hunter and projecting an air of general, but aloof concern.
