The timing of this is probably not a coincidence. From Forbes.com:

Trump Vetoes Student Loan Forgiveness Bill

President Donald Trump just vetoed a major student loan forgiveness bill.

In a widely expected move, Trump vetoed congressional legislation that would have overturned a key student loan forgiveness rule drafted by the U.S. Education Department under the leadership of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

In March, the U.S. Senate voted 53-42 to overturn a new student loan forgiveness rule introduced by U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos that critics argue limit student loan forgiveness for students when a college closes due to fraud. All Senate Democrats and 10 Republicans voted on a bipartisan basis. The House of Representatives overturned the rule in January by a vote of 231-180.

Congress can override a veto.

Until they get the criminals off the streets, everything takes a back seat. Your people need to be put in their place, you know, forced to live with laws and exist in peace?

That is a bit too much for you to understand?

Remember when I said the same thing about two days ago and you bitched about "not being able to do two things at once"? When I focused more on the pandemic misinformation from Republicans because 100,000 people died in 5 months, you bitched about "two thing at once" because I didn't address the poor, which you pretended to care about.

This is why I told you to go fck yourself. You're full of crap. Trump vetoing a bill has nothing to do with riots. If you actually cared about the poor, you'd support this bill. But you don't. You're full of crap.

No, at this moment the only thing that matters is the out of control criminals. A virus is natural and no big deal. Criminals killing people and making a mockery of our society need to be dealt with swiftly.

But our leaders are weak and many support the criminals.

If college students were "making bank" they wouldn't be struggling with student debt now, would they?

Then why did Trump veto the bill if "the only thing that matters" is the riots?

Nothing you say makes sense.

As I understand your system "getting criminals off the streets" is a problem for the Federal and State executive branches and not Congress.

To be fair, the president is responsible for helping deal with national emergencies. But you're right about Congress; and Trump still took time out of his day to veto a bill that would help with students with loan debt, making Eladar's point useless.

Keep in mind, Trump passed a $1.3 trillion dollar tax break for the rich; the same amount of total student debt. He could've helped millions be free from debt with gift he gave to himself and his rich buddies.

Congress can override a veto. Not sure how you pulled out of your ass the conclusion you made.

When did I say Congress should stop the criminals?
