crime involving moral turpitude
Moral turpitude laws are puritan christian bullshit that should not exist.
But since they do, me might as well use them to unleash the face eating leopards.
I mean, making dubious consequences apply to the "in group" is a vital step in getting rid of those consequences. Most conservatives were fine with treating addiction as a crime in the 80s when it was black folks getting arrested for crack, but when it was white, working class folks getting arrested for opiates, we were able to start talking about addiction as the medical condition it is. It's a shitty road towards progress, and I wish we could better... but changes in a democracy require convincing people of the need to change, and sometimes that just can't happen until they fall through the cracks in society personally.
It's the classic conservative condition: I didn't see it was a problem until it happened to me. So let's start making it happen to them.
Nancy Reagan was personally soft on abortion, but she knew it played to the base, so she was gung ho to overturn Roe V. Wade. That was until she found out stem cells might be able to help Ronnie's dementia, then she was all for using corpses to make medicine.
Good. Now imprison the fucking traitor.
... the ABC entered "Miscellaneous Ad Interim Permits," which allow the facilities to continue serving alcohol until a hearing on the renewals is held.
So, still no consequences.
Anyone applying for or holding a liquor license is entitled to a hearing if they're denied. That doesn't change just because it's Trump. I do liquor licensing in a different state and you really can't just take it away without due process. He may well get to keep the licenses, because his conviction wasn't related to liquor laws, and for us, that's one of the only times we can revoke one. This is really not a case of him getting special treatment.
I'm sure he'll be treated like all other convicted felons
Lololol
In this instance? Probably. We just had a hearing for a guy charged with bigamy and DV, and he got to renew his license. We have another guy who owns a bar (thank god not in my city) that's known for being a dangerous shithole, and he keeps getting licensed somehow. Most liquor laws make it pretty hard to essentially take away someone's livelihood, regardless of what you or I think about it. I wish it was treated as more of a privilege than it is, but Trump is far from the only felon with a liquor license.
Maybe you're right but if so, this would be the one time he's treated like everyone else.
What is DV anyhow?
Domestic Violence
I searched "Bigamy and DV charge" first; then searched "DV charge" before I got my answer. I'm just saying that you're not the only one who didn't know the acronym
If I had scrolled another comment down, I would've had my my answer. So I appreciate ya asking for everyone else who doesn't know

You're mistaking consequences for unilateral penalties absent of due process.
He's facing a whole ton of consequences, like 500 million of them.
An extremely rare Sunday Riker!
So I recently finished TOS and am about to finish the first season of TNG. All of this is just to say, I'm excited to see this episode only because you keep posting the meme (aptly). I'm actually kinda waiting to see when his goatee appears in the first place
Please, no spoilers anyone! I'm really enjoying the journey
Now just cancel his citizenshipso he can run crying back to uncle vlad
Trump calls him daddy.
Vladdy?
He has Vladdy issues
You know he’s just pacing around scowling and muttering unable to talk about anything else but this for days - just the same complaint over and over - and all his servants are wondering what they did in a past life to be subjected to this
The subheading walks back the headline: “The golf clubs are temporarily allowed to continue to serve alcohol until a final hearing on the renewals is held in July.” Journalism in the 2020s. Could have been fixed by just changing the word “does” to “will.”
The New Jersey Attorney General has decided on Friday not to renew two liquor licenses at former President Donald Trump's New Jersey golf clubs following his conviction on all 34 felony counts in his criminal hush money trial.
"The New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has an obligation to maintain integrity in the alcoholic beverage industry in the state," said a spokesperson with the New Jersey Attorney General(NJAG).
There's nothing wrong with the headline and the subheadline does not walk anything back. The liquor licenses were not renewed, and a final hearing is scheduled for July. Turns out, the problem with journalism in the 2020s is that you just need to read the article. Go figure...
You'd think half of Lemmy used to be editors the way everyone obsesses over headlines here.

Edit: Not a big fan of humour 'round these parts? That's fine, I get it, it's not for everyone. Take care, folks.
