Found this little gem floating around. A presidential order, see? Supposedly about “restoring” public service loan forgiveness. Yeah, right.

Now, let’s cut the bullshit. They’re dressing this up all fancy, talking about “national security” and “protecting American values.” But what this really is? A thinly veiled attack on anyone they deem “undesirable.” They’re cherry-picking buzzwords – “illegal immigration,” “child trafficking,” “terrorism” – to justify screwing over people who dedicated years to public service. They’re basically saying, “If you don’t align with our twisted version of ‘American values,’ you can kiss your loan forgiveness goodbye.”

And the whole “perverse incentives” bullshit about tuition costs? Please. That’s a smokescreen. They’re blaming the victims, not the predatory system that created the debt in the first place.

This ain’t about fiscal responsibility or national security. It’s about control. It’s about punishing anyone who dares to challenge their worldview. It’s about serving up a steaming pile of hypocrisy and calling it “patriotism.” And frankly, it makes me want to puke.

    As President of the United States, I have a duty to protect, preserve, and defend the Constitution and our national security, which includes ending the subsidization of illegal activities, including illegal immigration, human smuggling, child trafficking, pervasive damage to public property, and disruption of the public order, which threaten the security and stability of the United States…

    Carefully chosen illegal activities, so none of the listed is an activity the felon was convicted for.
