E-205: Trump issues a pardon and cancels student debt????
It's another day in the news cycle that makes me question my political leanings. The president pardons George Santos after condemning the Biden administration for doing the same, then adds student debt to the pile after calling Joe Biden's loan forgiveness plan unconstitutional. Of course, we end up listening to a very disingenuous Steven Crowder.
