President Biden tweeted this afternoon, “The recent elections made an emphatic statement that in America, the will of the people prevails.”
But was it the will of Millennials and Gen-Z voters to be bamboozled by Team Biden and the Democratic Party?
Hopes for a red wave of Republican victories on Election Day were shattered by the 28% advantage that voters in the 18-29 age group delivered to Democratic candidates. Two days after the election, Biden tweeted, “I want to thank the young people of this nation” who voted for “student debt relief.” Jon Cooper, a former top Biden campaign operative, tweeted, “Young people: You saved our butts. THANK YOU.”
Legions of young voters were energized to support Democrats by Biden’s Aug. 24 announcement that he was forgiving up to $20,000 of student debt per person, which would cost taxpayers $400 billion-plus.
While the votes that 20-somethings delivered last Tuesday are irrevocable, Biden’s student debt relief is contingent on federal court approval. And his bailout is being shot to pieces in courtrooms across the nation.
Two days after the election, federal judge Mark Pittman struck down the bailout as an unconstitutional decree: “In this country, we are not ruled by an all-powerful executive with a pen and a phone. Instead, we are ruled by a Constitution that provides for three distinct and independent branches of government.” Pittman rejected the “emergency” basis of the order in part because Biden had proclaimed on “60 Minutes” that “the pandemic is over.”
Democrats responded by vilifying Judge Pittman. Sen. Elizabeth Warren denounced the “lawless ruling from a Trump-appointed judge.” So any judge who doesn’t recognize that presidents are entitled to boundless power is “lawless”?

Dems will make impossible promises ahead of early voting knowing full well there won’t be sufficient time for a court to act . . but still plenty of time to get the target population motivated in the right direction.
Some would call this smart politics. I would call it an affront to the Constitution and the rule of law.
Hence, an impeachable offense.
One of many, but who’s counting?
And the pink haired nose ringed idiots fell for it.
Surely the Post ran lots of articles before the election, warning these young skulls full of mush what was about to happen?
Mils & Z-ers..
Welcome to your first BOHICA.
There will be many more.
Idiots go to college now. And even stick around to teach, I understand.
One word..... BRIBE!
But will he get the blame for the obvious lie?
The courts kept the scam going until after the election, though, didn’t they?
No argument there. He lied.
They may have run editorials, but aren’t most college students immunized against conservative publications in their freshman year? I think so.
Same deal here...The Big Guy's puppet masters pulled something that they knew was entirely unconstitutional...but it seems to have worked. They say that kids turned out to vote in numbers that were entirely unexpected.
I believe he even admitted that he probably couldn’t do it....and that was before the election.
Biden knew they were stupid enough to believe him
I think a lot of people believed this.
If they can use our tax dollars to prop up ukraine fail at counting votes, what can’t they do
If they have to rerun the AZ election and in the GA run off, this may keep the Dems at home. They will just cheat more to compensate...
Yeah and here in AZ we apparently vote to allow illegals to go to college as well, tuition free.
It’s not over, yet. The case in Pitmann’s court was in regards to a procedural rule that’s not mentioned by the journalists indulging in sensationalism.
Biden doesn’t do anything himself, he’s not capable. This was the indoctrinated youngsters and Obamabots in his (mis)administration
The Dems will do it again in two years, and the same group of people who fell for it this time will lap it up in 2024.
I’m reminded of Charlie Brown, Lucy and the football.
