August: Biden cancels student loan debt
In case it wasn’t clear, Hasan is not a liberal—but that doesn’t mean he won’t acknowledge Dark Brandon (President Joe Biden) when he gets a rare dub. In August of this year, Biden announced that he was canceling $10,000 in student loan debt, or $20,000 for those who have received a Pell Grant. Not only did Hasan praise the president for finally delivering on a campaign promise (while pointing out that the relief should have come a long time ago and should be for a lot more money), but he made sure to show his viewers how to get that relief if they qualified.
Hasan even got into some of the more meaty, confusing details around debt repayment and relief, which he called “tremendous.” But he was “the most excited because now my fucking college educated people will have 10,000 extra dollars in their pocket so they can buy a $5 a month subscription or a free one in the form of a Twitch prime and then avoid the ads at the top of the fucking hour. Let’s go!” Our boy famously tries to bait viewers into hearing about the top-of-the-hour ad break by burying it in another sentence or teeing it up with what initially appears to be a political rant (the community now votes on how good his segue is), and this was a good one.
