Reno Police officer R. Jager, described in the filings as a rookie officer, arrived on scene and reviewed Killinger’s documentation. Killinger provided his driver’s license, a UPS payslip, and his vehicle registration. All documents matched his name and appearance.

Despite this, Jager accused Killinger of using fraudulent identification and suggested he had a connection inside the DMV to fabricate documents. In his police report, Jager claimed Killinger had “conflicting identification” and said he “lacked satisfactory evidence” to confirm his identity.

I think this cop has watched too many CBS police dramas. And I think this cop is stupid.

allowing more immigration from the multitude of places on this globe

But then the immigrants will take all the jobs and also not work and take all the money from citizens.

Do you even FOX bro?

The Treasury could have bought up mortgage notes instead, at pennies on the dollar, and started collecting interest on the debt just like the private banks had. Then they could have renegotiated mortgages of underwater homes at lower interest rates, while the private sector lenders filed for bankruptcy. That would have drastically reduced the foreclosure rate and dumped the material cost of the financial crisis on stock and bond holders of these private companies.

I'm curious how this action would have changed the last 20 years of politics? Those in power during that time did a shit job of really explaining why the banks got the money and not the homeowner. I think this really exposed who the federal politicians were representing, and it wasn't the everyday voters. I think that anger and sense of betrayal that the American people were told to "kick rocks." while the actual criminals got a bailout of our money still sits in with of most of the population.

The insider trading thing got explained by Mike Johnson -

Since members of Congess only make 174,000 / year they need to insider trade stocks to make enough money...

Because being a politician isn't seen as a public duty anymore but a full time career

when you hit about 45, your mental age is currentAge-20 years-ish but doing an activity associated with mental age can come with some surprising consequences, mostly unhappy surprises at that. But as you continue to age you start accepting who are and start making less stupid choices that are associated with how you mentally feel.

Ownership does not mean ownership.

Capitalism where we change the definition of a word to fit our profit motive
