Also because student debt is my obsession- this year a study showed that students loans are blooming because of compound interest and new originations have Slowed. That means existing loans getting bigger instead of many more new loans are causing the overall growth in student debt. Yeah the interest is absolutely insane. I do IBR also since I'm on the PSLF so I don't want to pay more than I have to, and my principal balance has not gone down a cent. lol. It's ridiculous.

In the White House press spray, he is sitting there THANKING Barr for interfering in Stones case.
Murderers dont get nine years. This is destroying his family.
Comey isn't in prison, McCabe isn't in prison this is a disgrace.
Every single time I think I can't be more aghast at what comes out of the white house, he proves me wrong.

Stone denied a new trial by Amy Berman Jackson:
Stone's team said his verdict should be tossed because one juror worked for the IRS in a division that worked with the DOJ on criminal tax cases.
I mean, I know my law degree comes from Law & Order University, but can't his legal team object to jurors during voir dire?

The best economy! Although I am the tiniest bit surprised after his seemingly generous recent treatment in attempts to woo fed employees.

How does Roger Stone manage to look like a poorly-drawn cartoon caricature in literally every photo? Does he practice in the mirror every day? I bet he does.

My dad is Brazilian and this all reminds me I asked him to help me get my dual citizenship so I can vote against Bolsonaro and he said yes but we've done nothing. Need to get on it so I can fret about even more elections.

That book sounds interesting but I doubt I could read it without getting angry. Besides, I always thought Badgers was more of a nod to the mining history of that southern WI area. So Trump is, as always, an idiot.

Mick Mulvaney's fingerprints are all over this. Obligatory fuck Mulvaney. And Trump. He was delusional to think feds would vote for him en mass for a COL raise after the shit he has put people through with shutdowns.

BTW this isn't really politics related, but if you are in the mood for a totally bananas documentary, watch McMillion$ on HBO. It's about the McDonalds Monopoly scam, and it's NUTS. Two episodes of six have aired so far.

Where was this conscience 3 years ago? Like when it might have actually been useful? Definitely too little too late.

There's some skeevy republican commentator on CNN (I don't care about his name) arguing that 45's amazing masculinity and manliness is unmatched by any Democrat. He can't explain why 45 is so manly, it's just an appearance thing. He won't talk about substance of Pete volunteering for military service versus President Bone Spur. He's apparently still soooo masculine and apparently that manly appearance is absolutely critical to winning.
what the hell am I watching.

OHMYGAWD Poppy and Jim are arguing with a dude (Ben Ferguson) about how 'masculine' the president appears.
Poppy I dont see where the qualification for being president is being manly.
White dude 'mayor pete comes across as an academic'
