President Biden tweeted this afternoon, “The recent elections made an emphatic statement that in America, the will of the people prevails.”
But was it the will of Millennials and Gen-Z voters to be bamboozled by Team Biden and the Democratic Party?
Hopes for a red wave of Republican victories on Election Day were shattered by the 28% advantage that voters in the 18-29 age group delivered to Democratic candidates. Two days after the election, Biden tweeted, “I want to thank the young people of this nation” who voted for “student debt relief.” Jon Cooper, a former top Biden campaign operative, tweeted, “Young people: You saved our butts. THANK YOU.”
Legions of young voters were energized to support Democrats by Biden’s Aug. 24 announcement that he was forgiving up to $20,000 of student debt per person, which would cost taxpayers $400 billion-plus.
While the votes that 20-somethings delivered last Tuesday are irrevocable, Biden’s student debt relief is contingent on federal court approval. And his bailout is being shot to pieces in courtrooms across the nation.
Two days after the election, federal judge Mark Pittman struck down the bailout as an unconstitutional decree: “In this country, we are not ruled by an all-powerful executive with a pen and a phone. Instead, we are ruled by a Constitution that provides for three distinct and independent branches of government.” Pittman rejected the “emergency” basis of the order in part because Biden had proclaimed on “60 Minutes” that “the pandemic is over.”
Democrats responded by vilifying Judge Pittman. Sen. Elizabeth Warren denounced the “lawless ruling from a Trump-appointed judge.” So any judge who doesn’t recognize that presidents are entitled to boundless power is “lawless”?

So here endeth the lesson.
This was poll-tested by Dem consultants to optimize the amounts.
Bringing out voters vs p*ssing off voters who didn’t get the handout. I think it was very successful in bringing out younder people in a mid term election.
I mentioned this three months ago.
You’ll see it again in 2024.
So he lied.
They’re too stupid too remember they were burned.
You have to be kidding me. Judge said it was a budget issue, right?
They’ll get the loans repaid in the next CR. And there nothing anyone can do about it.
“Another pre-election trick”
Maybe so but it worked, just like whatever tricks they used in 2020.
Conservatives need some tricks that work.
In the Dem playbook this is forgivable during election season.
Text solace and all this knowing that the moron who took government money during covid who never lost A-day of work and these hapless morons who thought they were going to get out of there debt are going to find themselves in severe financial trouble soon
“lawless ruling from a Trump-appointed judge.”
Yeah, those conservative, Republican judges are always operating outside the law and legislating from the bench. That’s what they are known for.
What a loon.
It worked, didn’t it?
They are hostile and violent to any conservative speaker who gets closer to campus than the nearest airport.
They will blame Republican judges and cite the need for bigger Democrat majorities
Well, the 18 to 29 group don’t have long to get their collective heads out of their @$$e$ before the bottom falls out and they are in living hell.
And their greed and wishful thinking that someone else would pay for their degree in Transgender Fine Art Studies made them jump to it.
You nailed it.
2024 will be a repeat of that.
It’s a great strategy on their part.
On our way to becoming Venezuela or Cuber.
That’s my guess as well.
Thanks for your input.
No! Biden will be invited to join MENSA!!
He outsmarted Republicans!
Linda Graham hammered the final nail in republican coffin by offering bill to ban all abortions after week 15. That brought young weeemen out of the woodwork to vote. People under age 30 voted in record breaking numbers.
I love it when these mutants get their own words shoved back in their faces — preferably after getting shoved up their @sses — in legal proceedings like this.
Nah! They live with parents. No worries.
