  • There is a super famous, incredibly mediocre destination BBQ restaurant in Central Texas that is famous for an all-you-can-eat family-style meal. For decades, they only accepted cash. Way, way longer than made sense. Like into the 2020s I think.

    Their main menu item was all-you-can eat (hard to quantify number of sales), only members of the family that ran the place were allowed to count the take and the receipts at the end of each shift, and they only took cash.

    I fully believe they were either laundering money or evading taxes by under-reporting. But then they opened a few satellite branches, including one at the airport, and started having to be more careful as they expanded.


  • 3 things:

    First off, you literally started an argument explaining that something can’t happen, then ended it by saying that something that can’t happen can happen, and that hurts my brain a bit.

    Secondly, one reason reason a judge can deputize people is for cases where the executive branch or law enforcement has gone rogue and they need to enforce the law outside of the regular channels.

    Third, the whole “Can’t arrest or charge a sitting President for any crime” thing isn’t a law, but a justice department policy. Deputized law enforcement and prosecutors from outside of the justice department wouldn’t be bound by that policy.
