100% this. when the legislature cant even be trusted to complete a budget plan i take both their cheers and jeers with little weight.

my Wisconsin state senate is now taking its 2nd 9 month break from legislation since Evers took office. since 2019 the republican senate (21 to 12 majority) has taken 18 months off due to veto power of the democratic governor. no bipartisan attempts, no veto proof compromises, just paid vacation.



Forget Europe's 1 month holiday/year. Senate 50% time off is where it's at.

indeed, but this is not status quo. this is a massive event. We saw websites crash in the wake of the announcement. a move (unilaterally extinguishing at least a portion of debt across all student load holders) that will be challenged in courts. it’s a grey area at best since Congress has this authority, not the Exec branch. it’ll need govt muscle

of course, Congress has ceded a great deal of its legislative responsibility to the Judiciary and Executive over the past few decades, so who knows.

Are you just pretending to be a dumbass or is this unironically your best foot forward? 🤔


Nice argument you've got there. Nothing screams "you're right but i won't accept it" more than personal attacks ^_^

They slept on the PPP loans and corporate bailouts. They slept on the stimulus when it had their name on it. They slept on the unemployment (+bonuses) many of them took in the pandemic for sure. I'm full expecting this discussion to devolve into your typical outsiders whining about the spending and muh tax dollars. But I will sleep on them, and soundly at that.

This is where I land. Good politics requires some malarkey. You're engaged in a debate with a vast number of uneducated people who aren't interested. It requires some bullshit.

A worthy remembrance. And a good reminder of why Biden finally pulled out of Afghanistan!
