I have yet to see a version of the “precedent” argument that isn’t essentially “let elected officials do free crimes, or else we’ll make up crimes to charge innocent people with.” https://t.co/Ln0XbZiouG

You are a hypocrite if you state, as a principle, that loan forgiveness or receiving government help is bad when you've benefitted from such help, yes. Let's stop pretending all the anti-student loan cancellation rhetoric was just about high-minded policy disagreements. https://t.co/vqNlNn4QKd

Well I for one don't think it's great that we have a Supreme Court justice who is a member of a misogynist cult. https://t.co/9Gl4RFgBFz

Generally speaking, we're saying PPP relief is good, student debt relief is also good, and that running around saying "only bad people don't pay their debts" is hypocrisy when you've had debts forgiven (and/or show slavish devotion to a man who's declared Chapter 11 six times.) https://t.co/N41zPRprs0

Is this serious, @MickMulvaney. “Just documents?” What do you think Robert Hansen and Aldrich Ames were giving their handlers, Secret Decoder Rings? They went to prison for life. Why are you still defending your former boss? https://t.co/KYf7fl7Et0

Yep. He's been given remarkable latitude. You might argue that's appropriate for former presidents, but the DOJ's patience argues against the claim of a politicized witch hunt. If I'd done the same things, I'd already be in handcuffs. https://t.co/Vqb7JPe2Ug

absolutely dishonest or naive about what's going on. no one is attacking PPP. people are calling out the hypocrisy of the right having their loans forgiven, while saying loans shouldn't be forgiven https://t.co/NQwQleLAzO

The White House started randomly posting people's PPP loans? That sure does sound weird!

Oh... what's that? They did it in response to specific elected officials claiming that loan forgiveness is bad?

The trap being that if you... took government forgiveness on a loan you'll be criticized if you then claim it's bad for the government to grant forgiveness?

Bruh, that's a "trap" the way a finger-trap is a "trap". https://t.co/9BNGcFSvI6

Honeybear, the point is PPP loan forgiveness was good (and clearly those who took advantage of it thought so, including the right-wing).

What's bad is the hypocrisy of opposing loan forgiveness for *others* having benefitted from loan forgiveness themselves. https://t.co/gYLtJYmpOa

the PPP program was pretty stupidly designed but, as it was sold to the public, was a remarkably generous idea of governmental support during a time of profound crisis and nobody is actually mad about the few cases where it was actually used as intended.
