Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

it will be interminably funny to me that the democrats could literally have spent the entire last 4 years just pushing any single one of these issues through the House/Senate and gotten it passed & they would've swept 2024 without even having to worry about Trump. Like they could've just made Student Loan forgiveness threshold a lot lower (i.e. bring it down from 10 years of on-time payments or whatever it is currently at, to something more reasonable like 4 years or just...forgive all federal student loans for everyone who made less than $150k last tax year) and won by a landslide. They could've just done a little bit more than pardoning marijuana convictions - like if they'd spent the entire last year demanding the DEA reschedule it anytime someone from his cabinet was in front of a microphone, surely the DEA would've.
But nah, too much effort and we HAVE to remember that the Democrats don't control both chambers!!!
