  • Biden can only be removed by Biden, but frankly, his performance last night was so terrible, he not only needs to stop the campaign, he should consider stepping down from office.

    If he can’t handle Trump in a debate, there’s no way he’s handling the duties of office.

    As for who would replace him?

    The DNC would push for Kamala Harris which would guarantee a Trump win.

    The next two logical choices would be Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer.

    But there are lots of good Democrats out there, Peter DeFazio, Jeff Merkley, Ron Wyden, Earl Blumenauer, all from Oregon.

    If you’re dead set on “ancient white guy”, I hear Jerry Brown is still available. :)













  • I am certain, after paying to put my kid through college, that student loans are more than $12,000.

    He graduated from a state school in 2018, his tuition was $10,000 a year, and he had a scholarship that paid $5,000 a year. I paid the other $5,000, laundered through my Amazon card for points. ;) But if we had done a loan, it would have been $20K.

    So problem #1 - I’m not buying the stated number about how many people it will help. $12K is NOTHING when it comes to student loans.

    Problem #2 is how much of that sub-$12K loan is still out there after 10 years.

    In the end, it doesn’t matter since it’s all shut down anyway.
