I don't necessarily disagree with that sentiment, but she didn't help her case with the way she has acted over the years.
I thought the assassination of Dan Quayle was similar, but he handled it far better.

I thought McCain taking on Palin was a brilliant move. "No way D's will vote against the possibility of the first female VP."
Three things I remember back then:
1. "Palin isn't fit to be VP because McC is going to die in office and she doesn't have enough experience." She was a governor, Obama was a 1 term legislator, she had more experience for a lesser job because he was a "community organizer." That moniker was given more weight than state governor. McCain lived long enough that he would have served two full terms.
2. Back then I could have told you 15 things repeated over and over on the MSM about what a piece of shit she was. The budget for her debates, how many kids she had, what her husband Todd did for a job, how her youngest daughter was actually her granddaughter and it was a big coverup. Alaska state budget. Many more things. Tina Fey was such a good impersonator said so many satire things that even today people still misrepresent them for things Palin actually said. A pic went far and wide of Palin with guns in a bikini that people still think is real.
At the time, I didn't even know the name of Obama's VP choice.
3. Every cogent thing she said was twisted out of context to make her seem stupid, but that's nothing new (Romney is misogynist because he says "binders full of women," for example, referring to resumes of qualified women for a job). No one reasonable ever thought Palin thought she could see russia from her house, but that became her "look how stupid she is" thing. She, like Romney, were dead-on balls accurate that russia was still a huge global threat. The sentiment was treated as a joke.
Alaska has a law that pubic servants can't use pubic funds to defend against lawsuits. After the election she was flooded with nuisance lawsuits as revenge for daring to run against The Lightbringer, forcing her to resign as governor, or go bankrupt.
She was assassinated. Too bad no one cared about media manipulation of votes until trump won.

Again, I agree with every word there. I just never liked things she said in interviews during that race or after it.
#1 still bewilders me to this day. I think that is when I really started waking up to the MSM's bigotry and bias.

According to Google, PPP loans were given out starting in April of 2020. That was under the Ds' watch, as would be the forgiveness portion. So Lindy Li is 100% correct to mock those individuals for getting loans forgiven and now bashing normal people's loans being forgiven, but Ds are the ones spending the money. Which is worse, mocking loan forgiveness when you have benefitted from loan forgiveness or spending taxpayer money on handouts with no returns when the country is in severe debt? Personally, I'm not a fan of either.

That our military relies on poverty.
Trump was president and signed it. And nearly everyone in Congress voted for it. So it was D+R

The returns will be in those people spending the $$ in the economy, instead of loan service.Which is worse, mocking loan forgiveness when you have benefitted from loan forgiveness or spending taxpayer money on handouts with no returns when the country is in severe debt?

It doesn't? Rich people aren't sending their kids to the military because of the threat of war. Those days are long gone. Plus, many think it's beneath them and no longer is seen as honorable and about defending the nation.
I say that as a veteran, but recruiting numbers are in the shitter. Many grandparents spit on soldiers coming home from Vietnam. All the recent wars have been decried as wars for oil rather than any sort of liberation. There are a load of assholes who think the U.S. is the most oppressive place in the world because they're as stupid as a human being can get. The vast majority of the people screaming and demanding more from their government and more rights are certainly not the ones signing up to defend said government or those rights.
They're buying votes, not fixing the economy.
If the loan sharks had the same lobbying power as banks and financial firms this never would have happened. And if financial entities had the same lobbying power as these loan sharks then Americans would have been bailed out of their underwater homes when the market crashed instead of the other way around.

It only happened because of years of lobbying from the loan firms led to a situation where it's nearly impossible to get rid of school loans.Leisher wrote: ↑Sat Aug 27, 2022 11:45 pm If the loan sharks had the same lobbying power as banks and financial firms this never would have happened.

It happened because the government gave out unlimited money for school without controlling what the schools could charge. It was intended to help the poor and middle class get college educations, and ended up fucking the poor and middle class students.

This.

Additionally, someone colluded (HR grads? colleges? Loan sharks? Banks?) to make college degrees basically mandatory for all jobs. That forced a fuckton of people to get into debt so they could get entry level jobs with no hope of paying off their loans anytime soon.
