" Lamb shanks from Lidl" aren't $1k.


Per the NRF 2023

New York
Los Angeles
Oakland
San Francisco
Houston
Seattle
Sacremento
Chicago
Denver
Miami
Alberquerque

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

Factoids like the bolded that people throw out there to "prove" something make my head explode, the sheer inability to understand the difference between correlation and causation.

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.

Yeh, but apart from all that....

:D

I love to be corrected on here, it is good for me! I often post the most basic, rudimentary content in order to discredit a wum here and there, knowing full well, that my more learned GOT'ers will have a much greater understanding of the subject. I don't set out to post incorrect info I, just to share what I have learned/read elsewhere. There are a few posters in this thread with whom I am totally out of my depth and keep me on my toes.

It is my drunk posts that you need to really appreciate.

I read somewhere recently that barely anybody eats lamb in the US. They're missing out. Needs a good cut mind, it's generally very fatty.

Lamb fact of the day: the loin as a cut of meat is called a cannon.

They don’t eat enough in the UK either considering the amount of sheep farming and people get snobby about mutton.
Roasted leg of lamb is the best meat of all.

Yes you're probably right, we barely ever had it growing up, and the ranges in supermarkets are generally smaller than you'd get for pork and especially beef. I'm not claiming to be some kind of meat snob either, my first real exposure to eating lamb was when I moved to Luton for work and first got to sample the endless kebab shop options here.

I'll tell you another meat people should eat more of, venison. The deer need culling anyway, not eating it is a waste. More common in Scotland I believe. No idea if people eat deer in the US actually. You'd think they hunt enough of them with military grade weaponry.

Aye Brits are pretty unadventurous with their eating habits.

Sorry back on topic. Trump is out his mind,
