I get that he's disparaging the student loan forgiveness, but I'd like to see the entire text.

Saw Dennis and Randy schlepping down the street earlier this summer, trying to look like a couple locals, coming out of that same flyfishing shop where fucker tarlson was told off last year.

Losers.

Does Ted Cruz know that Randy Quaid has extreme mental issues?

When you're retweeting the rantings of a man in the throes of mental collapse, you have definitely lost.

If it is Sean Penn, Bruce Springsteen and Amy Shumer but if it's Randy Quaid it is an affirmation and a retweet. Why is that Rafael?

... students work in the dining halls. Also, toilets are toilets... Plumbers fix them. Probably, Randy Quaid's might be a messy one...

Oh, what a happy laugh I get out of it when right-wing nutjobs accuse me of being one of the privileged Elites!

I also took several breaks, about a year or two, to work full-time or more, saving as much money as possible. I also got several student loans and paid them all back (I finally got some loan relief after working in the public schools for a decade).

Of course, this was several decades ago, before criminal loan sharks took over most of the student loans so they could cheat poor 17-year-olds out of most of their future paychecks.

Thank you, Joe Biden and Democrats, for helping these victims of fraudulent student loans, at least a little.

A lot of those jobs were done by students receiving work-study aid. In my experience, work-study was often done by students whose parents either made too much for Federal Loans, or whose parents didn't want to take the parent-backed loans.
