the republican house voting to retroactively charge interest for the last several years of the student loan payment pause is a real washington generals moveit won't get past the senate or joe brandon but it will piss off a lot of people, which will help them remain safely out of power

@deprecated_ii Its playing to their core 38% base of bitter boomers, while not actually doing anything. Its a classic poisoning legislation move so that they can toss up their hands and say "lol we tried"

Pretty clear they don't want to win, preferring the comfy position of controlled opposition.

@teknomunk @deprecated_ii @redditeur I'm probably giving them more credit than they deserve but in a way this is a "don't throw me in a briar patch" move - by spinning in place they can push it out to the point where the treasury will be forced to cut spending (the desired outcome) or push the dems into creating a constutional crisis.

@DemonSixOne @teknomunk @redditeur the problem is even if that's what they're trying to do, they look like shit doing it. for all that conservatives tend to be terrified of bad optics (like being labeled rayciss) they have no ability to *manage* optics or run an effective PR campaignthey try to do some legal jujitsu and the media starts talking about their latest "throw granny in a volcano" act while the bill's authors just sputter in response, totally defenseless

@DemonSixOne @deprecated_ii both sides do this, every 3 months some hyperleft dem introduces a "ban all guns" bill that dies in committee so they can say "lol we tried guys please re-elect"
