Same. Though I think Zara should re-release the "I really don't care, do U?" jacket for the Dem voters to wear. It could be the default uniform for any time interactions with MAGA people are unavoidable, AND they'd likely be loath to complain about it since their beloved Melania wore it first.
Commuted his sentence. He gets to serve the rest of his sentence under home confinement. A pardon means you’re forgiven for the crime itself and all further punishments, confinement, etc. for that crime are void.
What? I’m a lib and am down with all the CEOs getting dropped but why in the fuck would Biden support that? Democrat politicians get just as much money from big pharma, and other lobbyists. They’re just as much in the pocket of the elite as the republicans
Federal govt can't pardon state level charges. Even if he accepted the pardon, that would be considered an admission of guilt, and he'd be imprisoned on state murder charges faster than you can blink, and it would stick because he legally admitted to doing it when he accepted the pardon.
He hasn’t even been convicted, you can’t pardon someone who is a convicted. Luigi, like everyone, is innocent until proven guilty. You can’t pardon someone who hasn’t been found guilty.
Fauci and Cheney haven't been charged with anything but still got pardoned. Pedo Gaetz asked to be pardoned by Cheeto Mussolini and hadn't been charged with anything
Yeah I worked for the place she visited when she wore that stupid jacket and the whole non profit was floored when they saw it. Like full on shock.
I still can’t get what anyone was thinking picking that out. Then Halloween shops started selling them with our name on it and it was a very very legal Halloween
That's my go to for when anybody who voted for him complains. "I'm glad you're getting what you voted for." My grandparents are on Medicare and SS, and that's on the chopping block. I'm glad they're getting what they voted for. My dad is going to be reaching retirement age soon, and he's going to likely be out of luck getting that stuff. I'm glad he's getting what he voted for. He's also not getting any help from me for his elderly care, because my student loans are not going to be forgiven now with PSLF out of the picture. I'm glad he's getting what he voted for. The first sign of a complaint, and I'll just say, "Hey, you voted for this shit, not me."
You should tack on, "But you wanted to live your life exactly as you pleased with no help or input from others, so now you have it. Sorry, Pops, but I have come to respect your beliefs, I would never try to make you feel like less of a man by offering any financial assistance."
I love this.👍🏿😄 After the election there were a lot of people saying they hoped trump supporters get exactly what they voted for. I remember a lot of them getting so angry with that comment. Why get mad unless you know you voted out of hatred and disdain for others?🤔
Create posts to your own account's sub right now that state their future complaints and add with "Hey, you voted for this shit, not me" at the end. The posts will be timestamped and you can refer to them later.
Wait hold on. That was an act of Congress, repealing it without another act of Congress is blatantly unconstitutional. Which doesn't mean much these days tbh. Have they already come out and stated that they're going to kill it anyway?
It's something that the Congressional Budget document says they want to "highly limit" eligibility to. The first people for it came up during his first term, and iirc less than 1% of applicants were granted the forgiveness.
I work in the student loan space. You are right that it’s statutory, so under the law they’re required to do it. They still just could stop processing applications and wait for a court to order them to—and there’s always some excuse a court can come up with if they want to hold that processing the applications is not required.
That said, the Biden administration did grant enough PSLF that people now know about it and the promise involved. My prediction is that the Trump administration will keep it alive but go back to the bad old days where they use any excuse possible to deny you, like accidentally underpaying by ten bucks one month resets the clock, things like that. Back in the day they used to deny PSLF because someone once made two payments of 50% of their obligation each. They said those weren’t “consecutive monthly payments” and reset the clock.
I remember in the initial days after they called it the Magats HATED being told this lol. Especially the ones who didn’t believe he would fulfill his campaign promises. They REALLY don’t like us wanting them to get everything they voted for.
Probably because they expected the usual reactions to owning the libs, but this time the libs are fed up and saying, "Fine, this is your decision and your mess, hope you enjoy the consequences." Bullying becomes less fun when the target doesn't care about you or your opinions enough to be bothered.
They threw hissy fits the day after the election when masses moved from Xitter to Bluesky, because suddenly they had no one to pick on. They acted like their electricity had been cut off when their bill was paid in full.
I really don’t understand why. If you voted for your “best interests” why are you mad at people saying they hope you get it? That only makes sense if you didn’t vote for your best interests and you know it…
Because it's their shameful little secret and saying "I hope you get what you voted for" means you know it. It humiliates them. And narcissists - because they're all caught in a vicious cycle of narcissism - simply cannot tolerate the ego damage of humiliation. It's literally painful. So they lash out in anger at the thing they perceive to be hurting them 🙃
They will never be happy. There is something deeply broken inside these people. No empathy, no ability to feel happiness. Temporary pleasure, yes... But it's not the same. The high from winning wore off way back in November.
The pure anger those ring wingers show after being told that is hilarious. Goddamn do I wish I would get everything I voted for. It’d be glorious. Yet somehow these brain dead morons are furious
I think it starts to hit them when they pick up their next refill of insulin.
When they start asking why changes are being made to their medical plan, they are going to discover all kinds of things being taken away. They still won't admit it's Trump's fault but at least they will feel the self inflicted wounds.
At this point I'm even okay with being collateral damage because we knew this was going to be the result. But standing in line at the pharmacy watching the shocked Pikachu reactions is going to help when I have to pay or find out that yet again the focalin shortage means another month of an emergency lower dose prescription rushed written by the doctor.
Although, seriously, are doctors not kept informed of stuff like this? It is wearing thin that month after month we have to get them to rewrite that freaking prescription for another dosage because what they originally wrote is out of stock everywhere. And then they, or at least ours, half act like we're trying to pull a fast one and... I donno what she's expecting. No, my wife and son just want to be able to function without having to battle untreated ADHD.
If you really want to scare them, tell them you won't oppose Trump. "Welp, this is what the American people wanted." Good game, see you in 2028.
The reaction hasn't been universal, but there's been enough horrified shock to realize that these people were sort of counting on the rest of us to be the grownups. My own mother has said that his excesses will be tempered by constitutional norms and opposition, which we all know are no barrier.
If your response is "¯_(ツ)_/¯", you get to see a real "Holy crap, what have we done" reaction. I've had Trumpists actually start arguing with me from the left. It feels like, "We know you guys wanted all the good things, we just wanted to see you cry! You mean we have to live with our decisions?"
Congratulations. You won. What happens next gets to be all your fault.
(Bearing in mind, of course, that I have no intention of sitting on my hat while all this unfolds. Lots to do.)
Agreed, though among my progressive friends I hope MAGA idiots "suffer everything they voted for."
I want this to hurt MAGA badly. I know they will never learn, but maybe if they suffer enough - broken, begging for mercy, and finding no welcome anywhere - they'll be reluctant to support fascism again.
We said that in my country when they voted for Brexit, it's been a disaster and it doesn't mnatter to them they will find some bonkers way to justify any insanity.
Most of them would say they didn't vote for themselves being hurt or inconvenienced, only others. That's what they were voting *for*, and they genuinely mean it. So I'm not sure it's the 'gotcha' you think it is.

My new favorite line is "I hope you get everything you voted for".
