It was quite the feat by SNL to put out an actually good Black Jeopardy sketch after the Tom Hanks MAGA one (which was so good I thought that they would retire it forever).

What, we canât tell jokes about white people tacos anymore without the PC snowflakes getting all upset?
Nothing would piss me off more than having a Friday night football game turned into a political event.

That was my first thought as well. I think thatâs a terrible idea.
The game is supposed to be about the kids who put an entire yearâs worth of work into a handful of Friday nights where they get to play.
Thereâs a huge difference between showing up to Minnesota HS Football games as the Governor (showing you and the people of Minnesota recognize and appreciate the hard work these kids put in) and as the VP Candidate (where the event isnât about the kids but is about you trying to gain support for your campaign)
Then throw in the fact that the people whose game youâre overshadowing canât even vote yet and the whole thing just doesnât sit right with me

The price gouging plan and $25k home buying credit both seem really dumb at first glance. Taking money from rich people and giving it to poor people seems like a much better solution to these âproblemsâ.

It is. The problem is that doing that doesnât poll well while self defeating policy does poll well.
Subsidizing first time home buyers is on net a transfer from rich to poor, even if not perfectly targeted.
I believe her plan also includes bigger subsidies for first generation home buyers.
So, the first-time homebuyers thing is being tested in CA right now. CA Dream For All provides down payment assistance to first time homebuyers (income-based) in exchange for that % equity in the home. So when you sell it, the program gets itâs money back, essentially. So after the initial investment by the state, it should be virtually self-funding.
It had so much demand that it ran out of funds in less than two weeks. Then it had more money added and ran out again in a week. Itâs too new to see how well the equity buyback portion will work, but lemme tell you, itâs definitely popular.

He should crash the high school kidsâ parties afterwards.
This is exactly how my mom was able to buy a home in Blue Springs, MO when I was in 8th grade. The state or feds (not sure) paid half of the equity of the home, then got it back when she sold.

THATâS SOCIALISM!
The most common federal assistance for home buyers of that time was the FHA loan where you would pay 3% down. The mortgage limits were quite low back in the day. When I was doing FHA appraisals in the early-mid-90s the limit was about $100k in SoCal, which meant they were for properties in lower-income neighborhoods throughout LA or out in the desert. At some point the limits went up a lot and I think became high enough for like median market everywhere.
And it was a mortgage insurance program and did not lose money for the government.

Awesome that the account is just retweeting this shit. Itâs basically RWNJsOfTikTok.

Literally zero chance they know this.

The problem is, that money rarely finds its way into the hands of the people who need it. Prevention from being gouged immediately helps working class families
Does it matter? If it did, I think weâd expect a lot more women leaders and stuff like abortion law almost wouldnât be a question.
I remember at plenty of Trump rallies in 2016 there were women who said, âYeah, I donât think a woman should be Presidentâ. Iâm not sure Iâve seen a single clip of one this time around, but Iâm sure one of you will post one at some point.
