A bill meant to help Americans because of Covid had a bunch of stupid s*** in it.What’s the tldr? I can’t view atm
Off the top of my head:
500 Million in aid to Israel
2 Billion to the Air Force for missile procurement
Like 100 Million to Cambodia in aid.
10 Million to Pakistan for Gender Studies?
Um making illegal game streaming a felony?
Just a bunch of stupid s*** that screams lobbyists/special interest groups getting in on s*** fully knowing Americans are desperate.
Edit: Ya, the 3 martini lunch bulls*** as stated by above.
Pardons are out of control, they should be for people who were punished for something they didn't do or where the sentence was over the top but guilty people who were convicted shouldn't be set free because they have connections.
It’s supper to be review by the justice department. They bypassed it for nearly all of the pardons over the last four years.
How the f*** isn’t this all over the airwaves? I mean, holy f***ing s***. He said it out loud!
Virginia Deputy Fired After Far-Right Calls For Violence On Social Media
A post on Aaron Hoffman's Parler account suggested that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts' life "needs to be shortened."
Yeah, because he is a miserable sack of s***.
“There are some people that are so mendacious, I just wouldn’t put them on air. Kayleigh McEnany, I never booked her. Jason Miller from the Trump campaign, I would never book him. These are just people who tell lies the way that most people breathe. There was no value in that.” - Jake Tapper
Warren Announces Funding Bill Will Restore Pell Grant Eligibility to Victims of Predatory For-Profit Colleges
Washington, D.C. - Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) today announced the Pell Grant Restoration Act, legislation that Senator Warren introduced, will be included in broader government funding legislation that the Senate will consider this week. This critical legislation would amend Higher Education Act to restore students’ Pell Grant eligibility for any period of time during which they would have qualified for loan forgiveness due to school closure, fraud, or misconduct. This provision allows tens of thousands of low-income student borrowers who were cheated by now-defunct for-profit colleges like Corinthian Colleges and ITT Tech to have a clean slate, so they can start over in their pursuit of higher education that allows them to build a future."Students should not be punished for getting scammed by for-profit, predatory colleges,” said Senator Warren. “I’m glad that Congress has chosen to advance The Pell Grant Restoration Act to ensure that students who have been cheated can hit the reset button on their Pell Grant eligibility so that they can have a chance to go back to school and build a future."
Senator Warren introduced the Pell Grant Restoration Act three times. She first introduced it in 2015, alongside then-Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and then-Ranking Member of the House Education and Labor Committee Bobby Scott (D-Va.). She reintroduced the bill in 2017, alongside Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.),. The legislation considered this week, Senator Warren reintroduced with Representative Jahana Hayes (D-Conn.) along with Senators Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) as well as Representatives Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Penn.), and Lucy McBath (D-Ga.) in both the House and Senate.
Senator Warren has been a consistent fighter for defrauded students. She successfully fought for students cheated by for-profit colleges to get their federal student loans cancelled, tax free. In 2014, Senator Warren forced the Department of Education to acknowledge that students defrauded by their colleges had a right to debt cancellation and urged the Department to provide that relief. Through public letters, staff investigations, public awareness campaigns and coordination with state officials – Warren urged more and faster relief for cheated students.
The entire student loan concept is broken and should be erased. Appreciate that she continues to fight the good fight. It made sense when it did not cost an arm and a leg to go to school...but now even public institutions are getting costly.
it’s too bad gop do not want an educated America. Need to keep their supporters ignorant.
Yep. They all want to talk about the free market and working hard to make a living, but they put up roadblocks for most to get an education necessary to compete in that free market.
Pathetic, coward incels.
