As CBS News Atlanta previously reported, more than one in four single-family rental homes in metro Atlanta are owned by large corporate investors — more than 72,000 homes — giving the region one of the highest concentrations of institutional ownership anywhere in the United States.
Housing advocates have argued that those companies can outbid families with cash offers, reducing the number of homes available to first-time buyers while contributing to higher home prices and rents.
Warnock has repeatedly cited those trends in pushing the legislation, saying corporate investors have increasingly treated homes as financial assets instead of places for families to live.
It was passed with a super majority in both houses of Congress. Even if Trump decided to veto it, it could get voted by that same super majority to override that detail, and get past, anyway, regardless of the veto. So, under those same auspices, if the president simply refuses to sign it and refuses to Vito, it automatically becomes law.
The President can manually veto it. But with that much support, the legislature would presumably override.
A pocket veto would let the president deny the bill from becoming law by refusing to give the legislature an opportunity to override it. But with Congress in session, that shouldn’t work.
I mean, it looks like he’s finding other ways to cheat. This election will likely go down as one of the gnarliest since Kennedy beat Nixon.
yeah, I literally just explained that
I just explained that, too
no argument there, but he’s been been pulling this crap for a decade now. lest your forget Jan 6, 2021. at this point, anyone who doesn’t get this (in the USA) is actively participating as part of the opposition.
He’s been trying. I don’t think he’s ever been in such a strong position to outright steal elections. Even Bush Jr didn’t have it this good.
He’s been trying and failing for over a decade now, and he has an entire circus tent full of incompetent ass clowns. Even Bush Junior at least had competent people by his side. Even Bush Junior was capable of winning two consecutive terms. Bush W never tried to overthrow the government.
What on earth makes you think that Trump could ever do better than W? shit, even George W. Bush at least served in the Texas National Guard. (how dare you make me defend that turd). W had it way better because he never earned the amount of disapproval and hate that Trump has earned. No president has ever been hated as much as Trump.
You’ve been drinking too much Kool-Aid, or you are just so young, that you don’t remember being alive when George W. Bush was still president you didn’t live through all of that. But don’t speak as if you’re knowledgeable about the facts, because you’re very obviously are not.
Trump never got anything that someone didn’t give him. Even most of the GOP has turned against him at this point. You haven’t been paying attention.
Stop spreading the lies of the fascists, stop being their tool
It’s certainly been something of a joke that Trump needed Obama/Biden in office to steal elections.
But go out to Florida or Mississippi or Arizona or Ohio and you’ll find enough election irregularities to swing a race. Texas very famously shut down over 100 polling locations just last year. Mail in voting has been radically parred since the 2020 sweep. In fact, 2021 set the record for most restrictions on voting passed in a single year.
So the GOP underbelly seems to be on the case, even when the Trump administration fumbles.
I mean, I voted in 2000, and got to watch the Brooks Brothers Riot in real time.
But that pales beside J6, even if a young Kavanaugh succeeded where an elderly Roger Stone failed.
Liberals simply will not accept that their system of elections is compromised to a permanent end, even as the SCOTUS power washes minority voting districts off the map.
