Republicans Who Had PPP Loans Forgiven - Furious Over Student Debt Forgiveness


Republicans such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Tucker Carlson, Matt Gaetz, and Vern Buchanan are expressing outrage over President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, which cancels a portion of student loan debt for the country’s middle-class students.  Meanwhile, many of these same Republicans received hundreds of thousands, with some even millions in PPP loans, which have been forgiven.  Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 forgiven, Matt Gaetz $476,000, Lauren Boebert $233,000, and Vern Buchanan had a whopping $2.3 million in government loans forgiven.

OK, so let’s see here - Vern Buchanan is worth over $70 million, and his three car dealerships had at least $2.3 million in PPP loans forgiven. Hmmm, now what was that again about paying back loans, Vern?  Of course, I’m no math wizard, but it sure seems like Biden’s little $10K loan forgiveness thingy is kinda minuscule - next to your big, fat $2.3 million cash windfall.  Just sayin’.  


So, giving free money away to wealthy Republicans is perfectly fine, but loan forgiveness for middle-class kids buried in student loan debt - is nothing short of “highway robbery!”  Gee, Vern - last time I checked, most middle-class students weren’t worth quite $70 million.  Funny how Republicans always manage to feel “slighted” when asked to contribute to anything that might remotely be considered of some benefit to others.


That said, I do get what Buchanan and his Republican pals are concerned about here.  It’s an extremely serious issue in most GOP circles - that being if we start giving these regular folks “affordable educations,” the next thing you know, they might just become smart enough to realize how stupid they’d be to “vote Republican.”  Can’t have that!  


Hell, they might even start to wonder why some poor, black guy like Eric Garner gets executed by police right out on the street for simply selling a few "loosie cigarettes,” while a prominent Republican like Rick Scott can steal $1.8 billion from Medicare - but instead of getting shot or going to jail, he gets elected Florida’s governor and then becomes a US Senator. 


Why, if someone didn’t “know better,” they might think “the whole damn system is rigged.”  Of course, if Republican lawmakers have their way, most young folks will never get to “know better.”  That’s because Republicans have been extremely busy passing laws to make sure these uncomfortable little details about capitalist society - will never be taught in our schools.  Problem solved!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Pete Buttigieg Emasculating Driving With Electric Cars

During a segment on Neil Cavuto’s Fox News program, US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was told by the host that Marjorie Taylor Greene is claiming "Mr. Buttigieg is trying to emasculate the way we drive" by supporting electric vehicles.  In response, Buttigieg told Cavuto that “my sense of manhood is not connected to whether my vehicle is fueled by gasoline, or whether it's fueled by electricity.”  When asked by Cavuto if he was offended by what Greene said, Buttigieg remarked "To be honest, there are other members of Congress that I pay more attention to when I'm thinking about opinions that really matter.” Oh, come on now!  Let’s get real.  It would take a helluva lot more than an electric car to “emasculate” Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Besides, I’m pretty sure “real men” actually ride horses, anyway.  Of course, I’m certainly no psychiatrist, but it sounds like Greene’s anger could be a combination of both “road rage” and “roid rage,” leaving her...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...
