American society is in the goddamn shitter between the 1%, deplorables, and humans that behave like wild dogs. And each and every one of them will vote for this evil cunt in 2020.

These laws that don't do anything but make Trump look better are ridiculous. Sure, there shouldn't be debt hanging over a wounded vet but it's all window dressing to make Trump look like he gives a shit! A Potemkin Village law at best!

He DOES do some things right - and this is one of them.

So it's not enough to serve your country? You have to be absolutely crippled before the Refukks throw you a bone?

Disability already discharges student loan debt.

Disabled veterans already had the right to discharge of student loans, but the process was clunky and ridiculous, of course, like it always is. A few months ago 47 out of 50 states demanded DeVos streamline the process, and that's what this Executive Order does.

But because we live in The End Times, the media is saying Trump is discharging all disabled veteran's loans. They were already supposed to be discharged, red tape just got in the way.

Trump only did this because Conor Lamb introduced a bill for streamlining the process in June, anyway. It's spite but the media is celebrating it as a win.

Why is the media so clueless?

by Anonymousreply 10August 23, 2019 2:47 PM

Because the media loves Trump. As Les Moonvies said, "[I]t may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS."
