Well, Maxine Waters showed her complete ignorance of student loans when she asked three big financial executives about the level of student loan debt and was told those big institutions have exited the student loan business years ago. The woman is a complete moron and a point of embarrassment to the nation.
@2 Seems to me you’re the stupid one. And if the CEOs of America’s largest banks don’t know how much student debt is out there, they’re pretty stupid, too.
The fact is, student debt now exceeds credit card debt, and student loan obligations are a significant restraint on consumer spending that impacts the entire economy.
I’m pretty sure banks know how much student debt there is, who owes it, how it affects credit markets, and its overall impact on the economy. It affects how they do business.
Whether they make student loans wasn’t the question.
The witch hunt everyone’s been waiting for is almost here! Trump’s puppet AG is fixing to investigate the investigators:
Investigating Trump was a crime.

But you yourself have avowed repeatedly that the DOJ and the FBI are fundamentally corrupt institutions that cannot be trusted and must be investigated and obliterated from existence. You’ve called them “treasonous”. You’ve insisted repeatedly that they are under the control of partisans and “WEEEEEETCH HUNTERS!!!!”.
Now, suddenly, just because he wrote a four page letter to Congress “summarizing” the SCO findings and proclaiming that your Cheeto Benito is “exonerated” you support the DOJ?
Are you sure? Awesome!
Never having brought your mouth up from the Mighty Orange Taint for air even once since Jan 2017 you might have missed a few details. Seven other offices of the DOJ still have active investigations of your party and your administration ongoing. Three other state level law enforcement agencies as well. Oh, and btw, Barr has almost fully recanted his letter. He has disavowed any “summary” insisting that anyone who relied on his letter to Congress to draw any conclusions in any way was badly mistaken. He specifically insists that nothing and no one is “exonerated”. And he says that the report contains evidence of criminal activity on the part of “certain” individuals, as yet, not detailed in public indictments. Finally he says he doesn’t believe that it is the responsibility of the DOJ to proceed in this area. But that the SCO is merely tasked with investigating “certain events” and that “other parties” may have an appropriate interest in acting.
The Attorney General is a cabinet level appointee who answers directly to the President. That’s the system. A good portion of the department under him is “independent”. The Attorney General is not. He serves at the pleasure of he who appoints him. When the President calls him on the phone, he must answer. When the President invites him to a meeting, he must attend.
Not so, the USAOs. When this President calls to speak with a United States Attorney (something the record indicates he has done with some frequency) they do not immediately return his calls. A large and growing number of them may not do so. Not lawfully. Because he, his family, his campaign, his companies, and/or his fake charities are directly connected to matters being actively investigated by those offices. They first have their deputies identify the matters to be discussed. And they notify the White House in advance regarding any topics of discussion that they are not free to discuss with your stupid, bloated, orange fart bag of a leader. And when he attempts to veer into those topics they defer and hang up if they must. More than one of two of them have had to do so since his inauguration. They are “independent” to the extent called for in the law. And seven of them are still actively investigating your beloved President Rage-Diaper, his campaign, his family members, his companies, and his fake charities.
#youbuiltthat – and it will never, ever go away however much you might wish it.
Now, are you sure you really looooove the DOJ?
Add the definition of ‘Treason’ to the growing list of things Donald doesn’t know anything about.
@5, 6 – A MAGA hat is a freak flag, worn by those who enjoy being social outcasts.
I think a clear pattern may emerge where AG Barr is concerned.
He’s going to say some stupid shit initially to satisfy Crazy Uncle Liberty. Then he’ll go radio silent for a bit. Then he’ll pretty much repudiate whatever stupid shit he said before. Whatever stupid shit he says at first will have a political impact, of course. The GOP/Sadism propaganda news network will run wild with whatever it is, dance around bonfires in the studios, paint their faces, etc. And the Trailer Base of mental defectives (see @6 above) will take great comfort from it. But ultimately what may matter most is what he does after. Which is probably nothing.
Today during testimony before Appropriations he said he thought the DOJ engaged in illegal spying on the Trump campaign. Stunned silence ensued. And before the hearing could even gavel closed he was already repudiating what he said. Too late, of course. The world went crazy and Congress is demanding to know more about what the fuck he was talking about. He’ll drag his feet. And he’ll end up having to eat his words again.
His two decades away from the department he oversees has seen a lot of changes. He spent the ensuing time in corp regulatory compliance. Patriot Act did not exist when he left. FISC did not exist when he left. The towers still stood. And FBI was still primarily a cautious domestic law enforcement agency. That’s not just a lot of change. It’s a lot of complex change. And his basic institutional instincts may be that FBI and domestic law enforcement seldom have any business eaves dropping on domestic targets engaged in protected activities.
I don’t disagree. But right or wrong, our laws, our technology, and our system changed a shit ton after 911. Today, thanks largely to those attacks and how the Congress responded to them, the FBI engages in lots and lots of domestic surveillance of all kinds of fundamentally protected activities. So Barr having only become aware of these things in the last few weeks is probably undergoing some adjustment and more than a little future shock.
So when Barr says this stupid shit, it may be it sounds about right to him at the time. For sure he knows it pleases his intended audience of one. The question is, even after he repudiates what he says and pretends he never said it in the first place, what does he do? OIG has been investigating FBI surveillance of the Trump campaign for about six months. Good for them. They should. So far they don’t seem to have found any defects in the process, Deven Nunes’ Cow and #yachtcocainehookers notwithstanding. So assuming he lets that process run its course, maybe he announces some more stupid shit based on whatever OIG concludes. Still, the law doesn’t change, the security and terrorism threats don’t change, so neither does the process of domestic surveillance of protected activities.
This stuff is political theater. Just like his “conclusions” about the SCO. It’s performance art intended for an audience of drooling, television addicted, meat heads. And sadly that audience happens to include the President.
Here in one sentence is the grand total of the GOP’s accomplishments since 2016:
“The kind of chaos now unfolding in Washington — with American set against American and skepticism rife about the legitimacy of the President — is the kind of result of which Putin can only have dreamed at the start of the Russian election interference effort.”

This is one big misunderstanding. We don’t need a wall because of the 3% of “Raping Mexicans” Illegals that are Mexicans. This wall will help in a humanitarian crisis that is at our South Border.
I’ll summarize – many, many, many dead people. That darn Press (in Conservative TexAss) isn’t talking about the many. many, many dead people, many. Many, many, many dead people from all over. Who knew! Damn Press!
And it’s very, very, very dangerous (aside from the Humanitarian crisis at the Southern Border). In Africa they carry guns to protect against the Lions and Elephants by the way – I’m just saying. You can never leave your house at night! Kind of reminds me of my neighbor when I was growing up as a kid. His family moved in when I was about six and he was about the same age, his father told him to make sure he was home before the street lights came on, because it was very, very dangerous after dark (at night) – the family was black in a predominately white neighborhood; all be it even back in those days it was a progressive type neighborhood, but the times were also different back thin in the 70’s.
Carry a gun and use it. In Texas? I thought the guns were for hunting. Never go near the gate – the many, many, that get buy on a gallon of water are lurking at the gate.
Nobody knows how bad this is. And this is very bad. It’s been happening for many, many, many years but we didn’t know because of the fake news wouldn’t report it. And now because the Economy is so tremendous it’s happening a lot more. And these people are being preyed upon by the Coyotes. We need a wall to protect them!
Dead oil field workers – many, many, many? Damn Press. The Wall stops this! You’ll see them, the good people, on the other side of the wall, in this vast expanse of desert where nobody will be looking and first of all they wont even come if there is a wall and they know that there’s no way of getting thru! 100’s of miles between places and you’ll see the good people’s pretty faces peeking thru the wall.
New York. 5th Avenue. Park Avenue – Hahahahahah! Hahahahah! Fuck you Wall Street!
Men in Black! Humanitarian Crisis. No crisis of Shopping While Black! Killing people at the gates!
The good ones are dying during the little stroll, but the bad ones they all live to stand by the gates, waiting for the truck!
You said 3%? Yeah, 3% Mexican (opps, let me hold my head in shame). They got hoodies on!
They’re sending the bad ones! So we lock up them little 3 years and their moms. Those 3 year old gang members are bad people! Photographs of children! Pregnant woman! Drugs?
Man that guy gets a bit angry about the 1000’s that die who are sent here. Damn it! That’s not fair or right when we have good cages we can hold them in!
This is incredible! Nobody has ever heard of this stuff. Not even the Republicans. Texas you been keeping secrets?
Things have changed – they just don’t pick our fruits and veggies, so we don’t have to, they take our trucks! Great relationship when they went back home after picking our shit for us.
How did the refer truck get across the border!
The level of toughness over the last, well let’s say 10 years (damn Blackie), is now greater.
Damn Dems – don’t they know Russians and Jews are better.
Big State Texas – 2000 miles. And the Press never told us how big the State is. No one should have to die to come to America, but when they come we will accommodate them, we have plenty of cages!
We have walls. Wall was there. But I replaced the Wall. Thanks to Obama. And now we have a wall.

Texas, like other GOP-managed states, is struggling to make ends meet after cutting taxes for the wealthy. There, like everywhere else, cutting taxes has reduced the revenue available for schools, firefighting, and other public services. Republicans just can’t seem to get a handle on how to increase revenues by cutting taxes, even though their quack economic theories tell them that’s what should happen.
Even worse, they’re coming off “the Texas GOP’s worst election in a generation.” Now, to save their skins, they have to boost school funding and rein in property taxes at the same time.
Texas, like Washington, doesn’t have an income tax. Not surprisingly, their sales tax is even higher than ours, second only to California’s. But the GOP governor wants to raise the sales tax even higher, not just to stop the hemorrhaging of revenue, but to shift more of the tax burden from wealthy landowners to poor people. If ya gotta raise taxes, this is how the GOP Playbook tells you to do it.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Texas isn’t really part of the United States. A spinoff of the Old Confederacy, they’re more like the part of the Ukraine that Putin hasn’t gobbled up yet. They have their own air force, consisting mostly of privately maintained B-17s and B-24s, with a few privately flown P-51 escort fighters, and they have a different legal culture there (see @12 above). It’s the kind of place where you’ll get thrown in jail for trying to pass a Canadian quarter at an airport newsstand. A travel advisory is in effect; it’s best to book flights that don’t require plane changes there, and you don’t want to get caught driving while black in their sovereign territory (but for white people, sovereign citizen license plates are okay). Also, the air is not breathable in some of their cities. It’s just best to avoid the place. There’s nothing there but cow shit and Texans anyway.
Roger, never, ever forget that Norma McCorvey and Sarah Weddington came from Texas. And that a mild mannered, hard working, brilliant “Snakey ‘K'” from Abilene changed the world and smashed the patriarchy forever.
She was barely a child at the time. And she went on to serve three terms in the Texas lege and help thousands of other Texas women become lawyers. Sarah just turned 74 in Feb. And she’s doing great.
And most of the Texas men alive at the time of Roe are still alive too.
But only just barely.
@20 It’s the Texas Republicans you gotta watch out for. The hats who prosecute you for trying to buy a candy bar in an airport with a Canadian quarter.

“Despicable” Trump Schemed to Retaliate Against Sanctuary Cities
“White House officials … plotted … to retaliate against … sanctuary cities by releasing detained immigrants in their jurisdictions, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
“According to emails obtained by the Post, officials have put pressure on U.S. immigration authorities … to help them implement the plan, which they expected would wreak havoc on cities that won’t comply with President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. ‘It was retaliation …,’ one of the Department of Homeland Security officials … said. ….
“[W]histleblowers with knowledge of the plan approached Congress with the information, the Post reported. … ‘The extent of this Administration’s cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated,’ Pelosi spokeswoman Ashley Etienne told HuffPost on Thursday night. ‘Using human beings — including little children — as pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable, and in some cases, criminal.'”

And he would’ve gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids.
“Among the ideas the White House has floated recently: offering undocumented parents a veritable ‘Sophie’s choice’ of indefinite detention with their children or separation that would allow the children to seek asylum in the U.S.; an executive order to end birthright citizenship; expanded deportations of undocumented immigrants already in America; and accelerated efforts to construct the border wall.
“Which of these policies Trump will actually pursue, if any, remains uncertain. But the fact that he’s looking for someone ‘tougher’ than Nielsen … suggests that Trump and his close adviser Stephen Miller are committed to pushing the boundaries of both public opinion and the law.”

There is no daylight between “Make America Great Again” and “Make America White Again;” the two are one and the same.
But he has only four, at most eight, years to wreak his transformation of our society. Has he thought about what happens after he leaves office? If a wall can be built, it can be unbuilt. If asylum seekers can be kept out for now, they can be let in later. Executive orders can be reversed. In short, the changes he’s trying to impose on our country aren’t permanent. Like Hitler’s Third Reich, they’ll last only while he’s in power.
So maybe he isn’t planning to leave.
It isn’t “Trump and his close adviser Miller”.
It’s the GOP and their close adviser FOX.
That’s where all this sick shit originates. This is all political theater designed to squeeze one more election out of the raving fear and resentment of old white men who watch too much television.

Still, the best thing for the US to do is nothing. We will be hated for NOT getting involved and hated if we get involved. Intervention is a no-win situation.
BTW, the Venezuelans ARE responsible for the choice they made to embrace socialism. They did that on their own, and the own that choice. THEY chose Chavez and, later, THEY chose Maduro.
