  • there could be almost 10 million borrowers in default in a few months

    That’s not a small amount. That’s fucking with economic outlook levels.

    As for their program to “guide” folks to repayment, I mean you might as well tell them that they’re indentured servants at this point. Bully tactics are not going to work in an economy where it does not matter how much or little credit you have.

    And I highly doubt this administration has any kinds of plans to gentle get folks back to repayment. I fully expect, “pay your loans or we will make you a slave for the rest of your life” to be their go to solution.

    There’s a correct manner to handle this, I expect Trump’s administration to fuck it up every step of the way.






  • However, I thought that the infrastructure would be set up prior for small business to come back to America and manufacture in America. So to wish ill on someone and to love the fact that they’re suffering, to love the fact that their family is being negatively affected, because I didn’t vote the same way that you did is [expletive] up

    This guy is a double idiot. That he would think the manufacturing would be around before the tariffs went into place. it’s just silly thinking.

    But also that he believes “go woke, go broke” isn’t the exact same thing he’s facing, is a whole other level of ignorance.

    There’s no way this person isn’t just rage bait. No one could truly be this fucking regraded. I refuse to believe there are people this genuinely ignorant who aren’t just out there for rage bait.



  • You’re mostly right in that the person you’re replying is missing that we are providing money for those people’s detention. But El Salvador doesn’t HAVE TO give the person back, there’s nothing outside of us stopping payments that compels them.

    It’s a semantic difference indeed but goes to point out the difference between legal means and diplomatic means. Legally, there’s nothing the US can do, once the person is in El Salvador they are under that country’s legal system. Diplomatically, yes, absolutely we can ask El Salvador to hand the person back or there will be diplomatic and potentially economic consequences for not doing so.

    Now as others have pointed out, the Executive branch has a wide latitude for diplomatic powers. Judge indicated that the President work diplomatically to bring the person home, but outside of that, the “or else” part. There’s not much the Judge can do past that.

    Additionally, El Salvador could press charges on the person and then there would be nothing that can be done to bring the person home in any legal means and likely less so diplomatically. This is the issue with sending people there. President Bukele of El Salvador could wish for better diplomatic relationships with the United States and Trump and just invent charges to keep the person there forever. There’s literally nothing we can do is El Salvador indicates that they are keeping the person and there’s nothing in the court system that can compel anyone to make those reasons clear.

    That’s the biggest thing about the difference between diplomatic and legal. In legal means, the Court system can ensure that people are following through on requirements. In a diplomatic means, it’s just depends on who can butter who’s biscuit the best. The Judge can tell the President to bring him back, but that means next to nothing when it comes to diplomatic matters.



  • President Trump will impose a 10% tariff on all countries

    It’s just whatever at this point. Clearly he’s gunning for recession, fuck it. Nobody in Congress stopping him.

    At this point all those emergency powers Congress has given the President since the 1920s needs to be pulled back because clearly we can no long assure that the President won’t declare everything an emergency.
