It's illegal for the president to relieve student loan debt. It's completely fine for the president to unilaterally decide to have the head of a foreign nation black bagged on foreign soil.

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life
millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on
but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

Nemesis by Shriekback is one of my favourite tracks of all time www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bMM...

I've seen a lot of people talk about how this was false, but it occurs to me that this is actually an accurate reflection of the "FOX distortion dynamic":
1) someone on left (political bloggers, maybe) make nuanced arguments about how US foreign policy contributed to the current environment
