Almost none of the serious criticism of Biden's student loan proposal is from Republicans, for whom it's just an excuse for culture war rhetoric. The real criticisms are from other (centrist) Democrats. Debates about public policy today take place within the Democratic Party.
So, paid Democrat shill once again finds that only Democrats are making good points, even here, regarding a tyrannical Democrat scheme to pay a bribe to Democrat voters without a little-d democratic vote on it.
Ahoy!

These are the secrets that protect our troops. Either you want them protected or believe they should be in the hands of a corrupt man who has used U.S. resources before to help himself. Are you with the troops or Trump? #TroopsOrTrump

"Are you with the troops?" Asks the noted Bay Area patriot who once slept with a Chinese spy and on another occasion threatened to nuke law-abiding gun owners.

I maintain Corn Pop was the good guy in the real story.
Safe bet that creepy Biden had little kids feeling up his legs, Corn Pop and his buddies kicked the freak perv out of the pool and threatened him not to come back
I don't know if that's just some bad aging or if there were some surgical interventions that didn't quite go to plan. She's 66, which doesn't really seem old enough to produce that kind of... I don't know quite what to call it.
Seemingly emboldened by all of the positive press stroking the White House continued this display on Tuesday, as Biden arrived in Pennsylvania to campaign on behalf of Democrats running for various offices. Bypassing the fact that none of the candidates were willing to appear with the charisma vacuum, the press again marveled at Biden's tough-talking posturing -- and ignored his actual words. There was plenty to be concerned about.
Between his reliance on oft-repeated topics and catchphrases which he uses like a verbal walker, Biden sounded downright lost. He referred to a 9-year-old in the audience as a baby. He called the ridiculed appearances of John Fetterman evidence that he is a great public speaker. But the glaring omission seen by the entire press corps was when Biden endorsed John Fetterman for Governor, and Josh Shapiro as their new Senator. Small matter that Fetterman is up for the Senate seat, and Shapiro is running for Governor.
If Senate Republicans led by Mr. McConnell can't parlay Mr. Biden's omnishambles administration and the president's 41.9% Real Clear Politics average job approval into a landslide on Nov. 8, there's something terribly wrong. And that's not a problem of "candidate quality" as Mr. McConnell suggests, but of his leadership--or lack thereof.
Mr. McConnell's own favorability ratings in the polls are 31.2 points underwater. That's far worse than Mr. Biden's or those of Vice President Kamala Harris or even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Mr. McConnell's jab about "candidate quality" was also a cheap shot at Republican primary voters and their preferred candidates, which aren't always the nominees he favors.
It was almost as though Mr. McConnell would prefer not to have responsibility for governing and for Senate Republicans to continue to get rolled by his Democratic counterpart, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, as they did on the pork-laden infrastructure bill a year ago this month.
...
All of the above is reason for Senate Republicans to depose Mr. McConnell (whether as minority or majority leader) in January.
As they say in the broadcast industry, Mr. McConnell "has a face for radio," but he also has a voice for print. The octogenarian Kentuckian is neither telegenic nor particularly articulate.
For the sake of the party--and more importantly, for the sake of the country (specifically, saving it from further depredations by congressional Democrats and Mr. Biden)--Mr. McConnell needs to be replaced by someone younger, more attractive and articulate, and more media-savvy.
