I’m ready for the parrot. Have we decided on what type of parrot to run?
Lots of parrots are over 35 years old so we should have options
I actually think the ticket should be Kamala at the top with a crow to balance the ticket. Hoarding small shiny trinkets is an important function of the office of the vice presidency.

Crows are clever, might appeal to the youth. Boomers might go for the wisdom of a Raven
The GOP are feeling confident and cocky. And why wouldn't they? Trump has been insanely lucky the last few weeks
Ignore, because that post was from the guy whose caption should say, "Future prison rape victim and convicted pedophile Gaetz"
She's completely unqualified for that, but so was Kavanaugh, and loyalty is everything to the man who appointed her to the bench. I can't believe even taking that case wasn't considered a serious ethics violation. This case may be reinstated because Cannon is already viewed as a loose her, but the delay is the victory, of course.
I feel like the reaction to the event in PA hasn’t been what I expected. Seems like most everyone has already made up their mind one way or the other, and people just aren’t as sensitive to disturbing shit happening anymore. I don’t know how big of an impact it will actually have on an election 4 months from now.

It definitely couldn't have happened to a better person who doesn't know how to garner the sympathy of a country. He already fucked up by not even bothering to call the family of the slain person the day after. Literally the easiest thing to do.

Thoughts on this? Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention but this is the first time I've seen a major candidate in any branch of government address the housing crisis. Like this is the first time I've seen anyone attempt to do *anything* about something that is probably going to get much worse in a few years.

the actual policy is quite wonky to the point where I think (as someone who is in this line of work) the number of units that would actually be constrained by this is closer to 100k than 1M
edit: to explain why I think this is wonky, a 5% cap but not on new building units and only for two years, in a time when rents are generally falling in the markets that ran the hottest, and buildings under 50 units are exempt, is really a pretty damn small % of the market. most developer/landlords are generally quite happy with 4-5% rent increases in general as well, so this is not really pushing to the point of pain, but they will obvi bitch and moan because any rent control is a bad sign for landlords
So I've been taking a little break from the news, but I understand something happened with that guy from The Apprentice that made big news. Heard he got his ear pierced, but just the right one. If you grew up in the 1980's, you know what that means (allegedly). Now that he's out of the closet (allegedly), we can surely expect him to be much more outspoken in support of LGBTQ+ rights and pride, no?
And a spot in Trump’s administration if he dropped out…
Probably the opposite - a spot if Kennedy stays and manages to get on the ballot in swing states. Polls consistently show Trump with a bigger lead over Biden if Kennedy's in the race than if it's a 2-way race.

It's wonky, but I'm curious how you came to 100k units. The administration says it would affect 20 million housing units; is your point that 19.9m of those aren't raising rents by more than 5% anyhow? Or that a large portion of the 20 million are in places that already have rent control?
The two year limit is frustrating, but exempting new building units strikes me as smart given how much of the issue relates to a lack of supply (more than this I'd like to see a commitment to building more public housing). And I'm guessing they went with stripping tax benefits rather than a hard cap on increases to make it easier to pass/avoid "SOCIALISM!" freakouts.
Nonetheless it strikes me as smart politically for the campaign. That said, even if it passed, and Biden were re-elected, he'd get no credit for it. People would just be glad their rents didn't go up as much.
