Summary

The Biden administration has moved to forgive $4.7 billion in U.S. loans to Ukraine as part of a $9.4 billion loan package authorized by Congress in April to support Ukraine’s government during its war with Russia.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller confirmed the decision, which Congress could still block.

The Senate is set to vote on a disapproval motion introduced by Senator Rand Paul, though bipartisan support for Ukraine remains strong.

President Biden is expediting aid ahead of his term’s end, amid concerns President-elect Trump may restrict future support.

      Dude this just isnt the way. Whether you like it or not a lot of people feel this way, and it permeates a lot of things. “Im suffering so why am i last?”. I agree that these are two different issues but lets stop calling people stupid for not understanding.

        That was a fine approach the first time around. But after almost a decade of GOP fuckery and apologists trying to blur the lines between the two parties, I’m with the guy calling out how fucking stupid it is to not call that jackass out for being a fucking idiot for trying to hide the fact that the GOP, and only the GOP, blocked all of the student debt relief that Biden tried to get through.

        The time for games is over.

        Adults are adults and responsible for their choices. Anyone that voted Trump or supports the GOP are traitors to democracy, and should not be handled with kid gloves anymore.

        I appreciate the moderation but I would much rather their statements stand for the idiotic ramblings that they are.

                  So now it’s ignorant to just point out what powers are granted by the Higher Education Act? Or that Biden tried to limit forgiveness, or that he personally pushed legislation to not allow student loan forgiveness in bankruptcy?

                  Don’t you feel a little silly criticizing people for simply pointing out a politician’s record?

                    I suppose I would if that’s what I was doing. I’m going to stop here now as I’m only beating an already dead horse with you…
