President Biden won’t extend student loan relief

[postman]

No surprises, no boxes introduced at the last minute, no boxes found in the trunk of someone's car. If ballots are "found" after the counting starts, they're a casualty and processes need to be tightened up to make sure all properly marked ballots get to the counting room on time. IOW, we err on the side of transparency and accuracy, even if it means some ballots are not counted. Why is this even controversial?

Is it more important that every single ballot be counted or that we trust the outcome?

Not counting ballots is the very tyranny against democracy. Elections should NOT be put in the hands of whether or not the post office delivers absentee and mail-in ballots on time.

Most ballots, the one's that say postage not required if mailed domestically, are NOT postmarked. So it can't be determined if they were mailed on time, as a policy of the post office. And delaying mail by getting rid of sorting machines and letter boxes, also slows delivery on time.

Every concern you raise, was put to rest by counting all the ballots again, under extra supervision. Like the carpenters adage. Measure twice, cut once. Well Georgia counted three times.

Not necessarily, because if (and this is possible, not that it happened for sure), extra ballots were added, ballots were destroyed or tampered with in the first counting, recounting just verifies the first count that was wrong. My point is that once counting starts, nothing gets added or removed. We've had far too many incidents of boxes previously unnoticed suddenly being produced for counting, counting and monitoring being suspended, then restarted with sudden reversals of fortune for candidates, and even in the case of Fla, in 2000, ballots being found in the trunk of someone's car. These things reduce the confidence in the process.

And that's why mail in voting should be limited to those who truly cannot get to the polls. In person voting has worked for a long time and should continue to be used. Here's why mail in voting caused so many problems last year. It was rammed through late in the game without consideration and accommodation for the inevitable issues that weren't thought of up front, rules were changed at the last minute in some places to count ballots received after the deadline, and the voters didn't have confidence that they were being handled correctly. How hard would it be to postmark returned ballots? Not hard at all, and then, just like IRS tax filings post marked after midnight on April 14, any ballots postmarked late are not accepted. The bottom line remains, if you don't get your ballot in by the deadline it doesn't count.

You know this did not actually happen, right?

Actually it did. If you were actually paying attention election night. But you must protect your Dear Xiden at all costs.

That’s funny. We never hear horror stories about Christmas cards or packages or medicines being delayed for so long. Seems this only happens with ballots. As for Georgia, they also had to admit that the chain of custody paperwork was not even filled out for a lot of areas. A rather serious breach of regulations.

Then list the 5 states and the exact times they stopped counting and the time they posted their new results.

Thanks, I will eagerly await your reply but I got 20 bucks that says you will run and hide instead

If banks were still able to pay out bonuses, we had no business bailing them out.

Bailed-out banks gave millions in exec bonuses, NY AG report shows

Wow. That sure was a couple of black racists there, huh? The complaint is that Biden isn’t handing out enough money to blacks, so it enables the crime we see happening? And all they could talk about is how blacks owe so much money, and how we should cancel their loans?

That‘s what I’ve heard repeatedly: that unless we don’t give money to blacks, then blacks will just take what they want.

P.S. I didn’t remember that students loans haven’t had to be repaid since early 2020.

No wonder it’s reported how much money people have nowadays (which is driving inflation)! They didn’t have to pay rent for almost two years, they didn’t have to pay their student loans, and they ALSO were gettting enhanced federal u employment which gave them MORE than they were earning.

Pre-Covid: Your average working class person at Target was getting $12.50 an hour, or $500 a week and paying $700 a month for his share of a rental. Inflow: $2000 monthly; outflow $700 for rent

Post: COVID: Regular UE of $250 a week PLUS “fed bonus” of $600 a week, of $850 a week. Inflow: $3400 monthly, outflow for rent 0.

Tjat means that your average working class person had a swing of an ADDITIONAL extra $2100 a month - more than he was earning! - which over the course of nearly two years was close to $50,000. PLUS he got additional stimulus payments totally $3,400.

It‘s past time we stop handing money out to people who are capable of taking a job.
