Because when people are reminded how much Trump sucks, they show up and vote against Trump.
He lost the mid term and he lost the second general election. His fuck ups dominated the news during both of those elections.
He started rebounding in the polls when he was being quieter than normal and people stopped paying attention to him.
That didn’t happen the last time around, and he was in the news plenty.
No way in hell Trump can get 3/4 of states to ratify an amendment to the constitution. This guy is a fucking clown.
Makes me wonder if being a dreamer makes you a riskier loan applicant. Those folks don’t have permanent residency, they’re here under deferred action. If they have to leave, they’d be at increased risk of foreclosure.
This headline is pretty clickbaity.
Pot is very very still legal in CA. This closes some loopholes that were allowing companies to sell THC products without a license, regulation and the taxing that Californians voted for.
I think he’s just trying to collect tax dollars from the THC products that people are selling, sand a license / regulation, through the 2018 farm bill loophole.
But pot is still legal in CA. This just closes the farm bill loophole that people were using to sell THC products without a license
CA has had a long history of voting for republicans, but the republicans running in CA are not for a lot of weird trumpian / culture war issues that past republicans never ran on in the state.
Yeah, it wasn’t written in a way that would help with public perception or limit opportunities for political spin. Also, it was put on the governor’s desk during a general election year when immigration is a top issue.
Even if the bill wouldn’t impact the housing market or state budget, it wasn’t crafted well.
The argument for it is probably similar to the argument for allowing dreamers to attend university and get white collar jobs. Some people were brought to the states when they were young, and America is all they know.
Do you send someone to a place like Mexico even though they might not really speak fluent Spanish and or know the country well?
I’m more annoyed that Nvidia is looked at like some sort of brilliant strategist. It’s a GPU company that was lucky enough to be around when two new massive industries found an alternative use for graphics hardware.
They happened to be making pick axes in California right before some prospectors found gold.
And they don’t even really make pick axes, TSMC does. They just design them.
Reading up on AB 1840, it looks like (from what I can grok) this would help undocumented immigrants to get more affordable loans. But they would still be loans, not grants (right?) So I don’t quite understand Newsom’s budget argument. It’s a loan. Most of the money will be coming back over 30 years.
That said, CA’s housing supply is trash, and if this was a ballot initiative, I think you’d have a real hard time passing it. People are rightly or wrongly going to assume that this will increase competition in the buying market. When a house sells in CA’s major metros, it’s on the market for 2 weeks and the seller is sifting through dozens of offers.

I’m my best staffer.
Yeah, I do that from time to time, but often times I see a Daily Beast link and don’t want to deal with cutting, loading, pasting, then launching a desktop cache on a mobile device.
I’m getting into the habit of just googling the topic and looking for a news source like NPR. Something that isn’t ad blocked, and has a nice mobile UI.
Hush money cases with non-violent first time offenders usually doesn’t result in prison time. So, if he got fines, house arrest and or probation, that wouldn’t be abnormal. Handling him with kid gloves would also be inline with how this judge has operated.
BUT, he also threatened the court and jury, and was constantly held in contempt. A lot of trial lawyers assume that, if he does get a few months in prison, his attempt to threaten and bully the court could be the reason for stiffer penalties.
Sometimes they don’t load the full article text in the DOM, and reader view only gets a truncated article, and sometimes reader view pulls up text from an adjacent article that is recommended below the fold. There site is so poorly engineered.
It’s be one thing if it was just dark patterns and roadblocks, but DM is also a buggy piece of shit that flashes and loads incorrectly even when ad blockers are off and users are signed in.
I wonder if he’s delaying the sentence because he’s planning to lock him up for a few months.
This judge has had a strong bias to not look like he’s impacting the general election, and putting Trump in Rikers for a few months would have a much bigger impact than a fine.
Someone should bake this into a Lemmy client
I’m of two minds on this. I feel like this is a little bit of undemocratic action that is in service of preventing much more massive undemocratic action from happening.
We need ranked choice voting nationally.
