[23:42:27] <exec> 08└─This handful of elected(?) fools actually think they have control over the police? They'll be put in their proper place soon enough. When the cops TELL these fools how much money they need, it is the fool's job to find the money. No quibbling, no excuses, just hand the money over, Directors!

[23:42:40] <exec> 08└─Oh, yes, quite right. It is big for an asteroid, I think I was trying to make the point that it is small and hard to see from Earth.

The hassle of ruined plans when you want to capitalize on your clean credit rating, i.e. getting a mortgage after months of planning only to find you can't? The list goes on...

[23:43:00] <exec> 08└─(cont) Dodd-Frank was an Obama number. And it's one of the worst things that ever happened to our Country. It made it impossible for bankers to function. It made it VERY HARD for bankers to loan money for people to create jobs, for people with businesses to create jobs. I said, that has to stop. The...

[23:43:18] <exec> 08└─Is this a civil case, or a criminal case? I thought a basic distinction is that prison is not a factor in civil cases. If found guilty, the perps can be fined, put under a restraining order, and things of that sort, but not imprisoned. However, fraud and theft are criminal matters. Anyone who tries...
