A federal judge in Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday blocked a new Biden administration rule that would prohibit credit card companies from charging customers late fees higher than $8.

US District Judge Mark T. Pittman, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, granted a preliminary injunction to several business and banking organizations that allege the new rule violates several federal statutes.

These organizations, led by the right-leaning US Chamber of Commerce, sued the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau after the rule was finalized in March. The rule, which was set to go into effect Tuesday, would save consumers about $10 billion per year by cutting fees from an average of $32, the CFPB estimated.

I want stories like this bombarded at the morons on here saying Biden does nothing and both sides are the same.

This Trump fucker is actively fighting for mega corps.

It doesn't matter to them. They think all they have to say is "Genocide Joe" and they've made their argument.

[-] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 75 points 7 months ago

Yeah, because Donny will surely stand up for Gaza much more than Joe ever did...

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 58 points 7 months ago

They don't like it when you point out that Trump moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, tacitly declaring it to belong wholly to Israel. He's made it very clear what he thinks about Palestine.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 43 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Or that Trump repealed the 50-year-old sanctions preventing Israel from developing on Palestinian territory, which Biden quickly reinstated.

It made Netanyahu so happy, he named a town after Trump in the occupied Golan Heights.

And you know 100% that if Biden was against Israel and supported Gaza, they'd bitch and complain and say Biden supports terrorists. Bad faith arguments across the board coming from those worthless shitstains.

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 27 points 7 months ago

Nah, the Trump base doesn't give two shits about Israel/Palestine. And they'll never know Biden ever tried. I'm pretty sure they're still talking about the laptop

Those people aren't Trump voters, they are tankies at best and accelerationists at worst (with a generous helping of foreign sockpuppets too)

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

They want Donald in office because it is better for China. They don't give a shit about Uyghur genocide or the fact that "socialist" China is producing billionaires.

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I miss when MAGAs hated China and Russia. It was the one good thing about them.

They’ve moved on to his executive privilege move to withhold recordings, because there obviously must be something horribly incriminating involving vocal inflection that doesn’t translate to transcripts.

[-] jake_jake_jake_@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

or they don't want to give free sound clips taken out of context for attack ads?

~~and would you put executive privilege in quotes if it was the broke cheeto man?~~

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

That’s how right wing news reports it. I didn’t mean to imply wrongdoing myself. I edited to remove the quotes. I’m in complete agreement of his decision. There’s absolutely no need for the recordings other than to truncate them and use them out of context.

[-] jake_jake_jake_@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

fair enough, i struck out part of my comment, but i'll leave it up for context.
