A quick definition of testamentary condition:

A testamentary condition is a type of condition in which something must happen before a gift made in a will becomes effective. It is a future and uncertain event on which the existence or extent of an obligation or liability depends. For example, if someone promises to give money to another person, but only if that person graduates from college, then the graduation is a testamentary condition that must be met before the money is given.

A more thorough explanation:

TESTAMENTARY CONDITION

A testamentary condition is a condition that must be fulfilled before a gift made in a will becomes effective. It is a stipulation or prerequisite in a will that constitutes the essence of the will. For example, a person may leave a gift to their grandchild, but only if the grandchild graduates from college. If the grandchild does not graduate from college, they will not receive the gift.

  • A person leaves a gift to their niece, but only if the niece gets married before the age of 30. If the niece does not get married before the age of 30, she will not receive the gift.
  • A person leaves a gift to their favorite charity, but only if the charity uses the money to build a new animal shelter. If the charity does not use the money to build a new animal shelter, they will not receive the gift.

These examples illustrate how a testamentary condition works. The condition is a prerequisite that must be fulfilled before the gift becomes effective. If the condition is not met, the gift will not be given. Testamentary conditions are often used to ensure that the gift is used for a specific purpose or to encourage certain behavior.

I don’t think bashing dkk’s view is the right answer here. He’s an example of how dem messaging failed. Dems wanted to create a platform that represented minority groups (poc, lgbtq) while also benefiting the majority through housing plans, tax cuts on the middle class, and tax increases for the rich. For some reason, I think the messaging came off that the dem platform was focused only on the underrepresented groups.

@ImpartialLion: I'm not bashing his view with regard to that the Dem's platform looked focused on the minority. My point is that Trump has zero respect for institutions, political norms, and the Constitution.

All of which Trump has openly said
Looking forward, dems gotta improve the messaging. I think bernie did a good job of that by making the focus “the working class,” which goes beyond race or gender.
@texaslawhopefully: i dont disagree with those statements. I just think we have a lot to learn going into next election

I mean my hope is the GOP gets wiped out in the midterms and has to recentralize its message

I would say Texas is pretty nice here. I do think you got the right idea there though @impartialLion and maybe people can apply that to the broader context of why when someone just starts mischaracterizing me as a racist, homophobic, fatphobic, ableist for multiple days, I might just give up and start cussing at em lol. I mean, if someone did that to me in a bar I would get violent and I have been violent in the past with people. Being in bar fights is like an awesome experience and everyone should do it at least once.

I try not to be violent these days cus every time I do assault someone or shove glass in someones face I clould go to jail but usually people are cool about it.

@texaslawhopefully: Yeah, I mean it could happen to the senate and house like it did to Obama but if he keeps his overall approval rating up, even if someone does not like individual policies it's compromise: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-approval-ratings-break-records-democrats-back-him-2018900

@Dkk: Fair. My guess is (if the DNC is smart) dems change there messaging to be more appealing to moderates, they start winning and they hopefully that encourages republicans to move back to the center.
Dkk
18:47
Yeah, exactly.
18:47
i for one STILL cannot believe donnie is prez. like gobsmacked. how did that happen? was it getting gunned down that sealed the deal?
Im starting to worry that I wont hear back from some schools before deposit deadline. Anyone have any advice? Is it possible they push back deposit dates?
i really dont wanna lose that much money

@llama: This was the best explanation that I read for it: https://samharris.substack.com/p/the-reckoning

@GapingVariousTurkey: same bro. im not worried cause yolo, but i think an honest talk with each applicable school will allow them to give leeway

But, yeah, I think many people were shocked
any UK law students?

@texaslawhopefully: when I have some time i will read, thanks fren. Regardless of whichever of the two [T or H] are in the WH, I truly believe expectations will be looked back on as over worried.

@llama: I don't know man, maybe I've been reading way too much news but I'm worried in a way I wasn't with Biden, or would've been with Harris
18:53
@texaslawhopefully: looking back, the Rs were freaking out saying Biden was going to end the country, and the Ds were freaking out during DJTs 1st term. Neither did exceptionally bad or good, IMHO. At the end of the day, the rest of the GOV (Judaical and Congress) really put a damper on grandiose executive plans. Finally, we all know Donnie is a talker: he anchors (ie tarrifs), he talks shit, he says he will do X and never does. news eats that shit up, but I think most will not ever come to pass
