because the group think supercede the individual thought.
Your "group think" is not all that matters to me, motymop, and your "group think" does not supercede your "individual thought", least not as far as I am concerned.

That's why I am holding discussion with individual you and not some group you might belong to, and its because of the regard I have for you as a thinking individual.

But, please know that as far as you are concerned, I am willing to reconsider that the group might be more important than you.

I will consider your individual post above when my individual self has more time.

Yes all whites think the same, they think about their own interest over other group or race
And I disagree. Partly because I can not see how all whites can possibly all agree to do anything at all not to talk of hate others because of skin colour in this century - mind, there is Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon. And mostly because I think it's as absurd as claiming all blacks hate whites or all Yorubas hate Igbos etc.

When they do what Android17 is doing I just let them be because I know their strategy is to go on their merrygoround of not understanding to waste ones time.

If he read he'd see I've already said Potus, be it dump or Biden, will do whatever they can to get around what scotus says, and if that potus breaks the law they'd be held to account, and if not like Biden didn't they wouldn't.

I even posted examples to show potus being brought before the law to hold him to account. And some will hold him to account, while some will say he done right already. And I don't expect dump to not try to find a way around when they try to stop him like Biden did.

But its maga. Thought is too complex for some.

IjeBos:
Again, pick up the US Constitution. Then read and understand how a bill becomes a law. And then what power the President has.
What you are writing is not making sense but you don't know it's not making sense because you don't know enough about you are talking about.

It's like the government preventing me from building a house with toothpicks, and I then decide to build it with bricks which is the Government preferred method.
And you say, woah he pushed through on building his house with bricks even though he was told he couldn't build it with toothpicks.
So, he disobeyed the government!!
And then you tell me that it will now be precedence that people will build their houses with bricks after being told they couldn't build them with toothpicks.
That is how asinine what you are trying to say is but you don't know enough to know it.

Before going off on another tangent. What part of the article you cited don't you agree with?

Is it POTUS's duty to develop a workaround (that is not explicitly explained) except saying "we came up with one to still disobey SCOTUS' order"?

I like to follow arguments logically.
You are not following my argument at all, Android, and are adding your opinion to it and calling it mine.

The link simply lists the cases against dump. And I posted it to show you Dems weaponising, as in using the law to challenge dump.

If so, how does that compare with the post below? There's a video for it too.
Notice he says "tried to BLOCK me".
You are being disingenuous by halves, I dare say.

Magas have been insisting page after page here that dump don't mean what he said but now you wanna claim Biden tweeted what you understand. I mean, could he not have been exaggerating a tad, or outright lying?

Biden used existing laws to forgive as much student loan as he could within the law, unless you want to show us a judge said it ain't.

What he forgave was way far below what he promised, and there's people who never got their loan forgiven because his path for more and as promised was blocked. By a judge.

Practically. On student loan forgiveness, Biden failed to deliver.

Imo, US student loan is Indentured servitude and the master is those owed, so he clearly was up against powerful resistance and I'm glad he tried. We Nigerians should learn about this considering these early days of our own student loaning.

170k after 24 years is usury, I'd think.

IjeBos:
This is a silly take untethered from what actually happened.

Biden created a plan for student loan relief.
The Supreme Court found that plan unconstitutional.
He then went and made sure the student loan relief programs that were already in law were being implemented and those students who were eligible for that relief received the relief.
The goal of some of these programs Congress passed was to get people working in fields that didn't pay a lot.

There was no workaround.
He followed the law.

You've spent a lot of time arguing something you heard on right wing propaganda that you don't understand.

When Brazil were going at X - they were receiving USAID funds to do so. They've now put an end to their lawfare since the USAID largesse has been discontinued.
Since, Android?

After the platform settled $5.2 million in fines, appointed a legal representative in Brazil and complied with orders to deactivate accounts, the block was lifted on 8 October 2024.

In an interview on 30 August, Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva emphasized that Elon Musk should respect the decisions of the Supreme Federal Court, criticizing him for allegedly offending local authorities. Lula da Silva stated that Brazilian society does not have an "inferiority complex". He later said that the world could learn from Brazil's example, and it's not "obliged to put up with Musk's far-right free-for-all just because he is rich."

So, Trump should disregard every court order, and as long as the SCOTUS don't hold him accountable, he is fine.

That's very good. That's what he will do.
I love how you jumped there from your "Biden did", which I did not agree with since Biden didn't in my view, to dump should and therefore will do, lol. It enlightens.

No! Biden should not disregard every court order, and if he does I hope he loses the election, because that is just not the democracy I'd want for America and I hope the majority wouldn't vote for it, though I'm giggling at my own surprise.

What Biden did was some wuruwuru that no one (to the best of my little knowledge, so correct me if I'm wrong please), brought before a judge so a judge could have held him to account. Someone after all does have to go before a judge and say, "Judge! Biden doing what you said he shouldn't do. Sanction him!"

But you're right. Dump will disregard the law. And he has a supporting Scotus which Biden never had which bothers me. Not that Biden never had it, but that the right to disobey the law is seemingly being given to dump, in advance. Its like saying our King Charlie has immunity from any crime he commits, an immunity we don't even give to our gods.

But you know the Dems will "weaponise". Or so the pugs say we do when we lawyer up before a judge, and antifa, and blm, and union and etc etc etc for democracy, least as blues see it, and already are.

I did laugh at the below.

Everyone else concern themselves with the 5% only when they are important and relevant and that is when they give it the attention it deserves.

And concern for other people whether neighbour, wife, husband, boss form part of the 95% of our everyday problems as the threads here show.

So you see you are talking rubbish.

For withdrawals at ATMs belonging to other banks (Not-on-Us transactions), an N100 fee plus a surcharge of up to N450 per N20,000 withdrawal will apply.
I need telling of alternative places to store my money please, while noting that private atms at non-banks where I live can charge up to a pound and 50 pence, while other banks charge zilch.

Steve Bannon pleads guilty in border wall fraud case

Steve Bannon, the confidante of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty Tuesday to defrauding New Yorkers who donated to "We Build the Wall," an online fundraiser for Trump's signature project during his first term, in exchange for a sentence without prison time.

"The parties have worked out a plea agreement. Mr. Bannon will plead guilty to count 5 of the indictment, which is scheme to defraud in the indictment. He will receive a conditional discharge," prosecutor Jeffrey Levinson said.

The guilty plea to the felony charge represents Bannon's second criminal conviction after he served prison time for contempt of Congress.

Christianity EtcRe: Science And Faith Can They Coexist? by budaatum: 3:14pm On Feb 11, 2025
When Christ is written to have said, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened", some of us hear him say, "use your senses to enquire", which is the definition of 'do science'.

We can also clearly see the evidence of Eve using her senses to enquire if she shall die if she ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, only to find it good for opening eyes and for gaining wisdom, which helped free herself and her more ignorant non-sense using Adam from naked slavery from whence they became self employed and populated the entire earth, we read.

Science is what you do when you build your house on a rock, while faith without science is like building on sand. Do note that science can increase faith. If I do my research well instead of merely believing without enquiring with my senses, my ignorant faith would be subject to the vagaries of the weather.

I read the article. Did you? It basically just says Biden had been injucted from continuing with his forgiveness plan in '22 but decided to ram through with it in '24 by claiming that their [FG's] control over the whole gamut of loan forgiveness programs gave them some leeway to forgive some loans that could not be forgiven by the forgiveness plan that was rejected by SCOTUS.

This can be translated, he still did it anyway and the DOJ did not bother with due recourse to holding him accountable. This feels like election inducements but it is immaterial now.

Are you saying, Trump should find workarounds to circumvent Constitutional orders like the one Biden circumvented?
You may indeed translate it how you wish, but if the supreme court disagreed with his workaround they have the power to sanction him and would have but didn't, just as they would if they disagree with dumps workaround or wouldn't if its legal.
