That would make you an accomplice at the least.
As it should be.
Well, if you "genuinely reckon"...
I was silly to believe you'd blocked me. I was having a very nice time indeed taking the pish." Lamb shanks from Lidl" aren't $1k.

Were the most affected cities (90% BEING DEMOCRAT) had/having high rates of property theft.
You can go to a store and steal under $1k worth of items and get a citation.
So if i go to 100 stores in a day and steal $920 worth of items in each, I walk away with $92,000 worth of goods...
...that is ALOT of LAMB. $1.84mil over 20 days worth of LAMB in fact.
The land of the FREE
The home of the BRAVE no more where security guards are prosecuted for stopping the thieves. So now theyre basically meeters and greeters
Yet CRIME IS DOWN say the Democrats because they refuse to punish these thieves.
Meanwhile...the stores raise prices for everyone else.
@Harryflashman you are spot on saying:
"Its mad how some consider crimes not crimes dependent on who’s accused"
The Oakland Raiders legacy is leaving behind an army of store raiders
Just one president looking out for another eh.
Well I’m gonna state the obvious here…. If you stole from a store you would probably be arrested, if by chance you got out of custody that day and went to a further shop and stole again then no doubt you’d be detained again… do grow up and stop making daft arguments on here ffs
Should have asked for a nice slow cooked curried lamb dish, with baby spinach. Something really tasty. $92k of lamb will go a long way, might even get a second serving.
You’d get lambasted in court for it though
Yeah but they let you out to do it all again if it's a democrat judge or court or delicatessen or something.

The Democrats have the original sin on this one. Watergate had to happen. That turned into Iran-Contra, which grew out of Democrats trying to assert themselves in a novel way in foreign policy. The pathway to scandal runs straight through the Democrats passing legislation of questionable constitutionality (the Boland Amendment) precluding Reagan from funding the Contras.
Reagan thumbed his nose at it, for that reason. His advisers told him not to do it, he did it anyway, and they burned for it. The Democrats went after Reagan by going after his advisers, who had to perjure themselves to make the whole thing work, thus sidestepping the constitutional crisis while hobbling Reagan politically.
Everything since then with the cycle of investigations that usually originate in the House, because it's the easier body to both flip and strongarm the members on a vote, has just been a Hatfield and McCoy cycle of payback.
Now, we might also say that Nixon started the whole thing by creating appetite among the Democrats for things like the War Powers Resolution, and generally reining in space presidents FDR, Truman and beyond carved out. We could say that in the same way we might (and do) allocate blame for the Civil War to things other than Fort Sumter. In this case, though, we know the Democrats fired the shots, and that was a choice they made in part because they couldn't beat Reagan at the ballot box.
The Supreme Court has serially refused to get in the middle of these disputes, probably because they know whichever party loses will make a concerted effort to screw them on the future composition of the court, and undermine their authority in other ways. The justices walk a finer line than you probably think, given today's media narrative with respect to their power. If one branch or the other starts ignoring them, and the public gets behind that, they're done. So, they pick their battles.
Separation of powers isn't perfect, and the tussle between Congress and the presidency is as almost as old as the Republic. Marbury v. Madison was the result of Jefferson trying to screw Adams on a technicality. In this case, the rational solution is for both sides to agree to detente, but they have both proven to be untrustworthy short-term thinkers whenever they get office, so they can't because neither trusts the other to hold up its end of the bargain. Our modern clickbait, conflict-stoking media has a lot to do with why. That problem lies at Reagan's feet, with the end of the Equal Time Doctrine, and the rise of Limbaugh et al.
Someone who actually wanted to make America great again would come out swinging on things like the Equal Time Doctrine, Citizens United and campaign finance reform. Things worked when we had institutions that worked, and engendered trust of the public in government and trust between the parties. They will continue to not work so long as voters return to office the self-interested politicians who play the current game well, and don't care about what doesn't work.
This cycles around to Jefferson's oft-cited point that the republic would work so long as the public education system worked. It no longer does well enough to give people a sense of history and counter propaganda, so we get the media-driven invective in this thread rather than people coming together to solve the pressing problems facing this country.

It's not just the bank. It's all of us.
People lying to the bank drive interest rates up in the aggregate, through the bank underpricing their risk and taking on risks they shouldn't. That cost has to go somewhere, so it gets passed along to everyone (including the liars) in the form of higher rates across the board. It also tends to depress lending, because the bank plays defense against the possibility of lying and turns down risks it should take.
This benefits only the liars, if it even turns out it benefits them in an absolute sense, and is bad for everyone else. So, we make it a black-and-white crime to lie to the bank. The result that drives the statute can be proven with a basic economic model that doesn't require anything more than multivariable calculus to follow.
