Meanwhile, Trump’s a free man, goose stepping around in his fucking lift shoes, with 91 Federal charges against him. This country is so backwards.

Kind of makes you want to stop obeying laws, doesn’t it?

I once mentioned to my father that most people are likely felons without realizing it because everyone will have violated a whole slew of laws they are unaware of or that are obscure/unenforced. He, being a conservative, became angry with me.

I can probably come up with a dozen felonies and goodness knows how many misdemeanors I’ve committed in my life, and I’m definitely not a menace to society.

None of these are violent or sexual in nature.

Exactly. The worst thing that most people do as far as common laws are concerned is speeding.

The real bad things that happen that are rarely enforced is spousal and child abuse, religious abuse, abuse from certain authorities, etc. These destroy lives.

I’m a commoner and I haven’t lobbied any lawmakers, so the law still applies to me

You wouldn't download a car, a House, two beautiful women or their chi...you know a highrise I mean. You wouldn't download a highrise or a jet plane or two really hot babes. right?

Is…is this an option? Asking for a casual acquaintance.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I don't know, have you guys developed the quantum teleportation reflux trackrowave transmission elometer yet? Cuz you're gonna need at least three of those in a bisiouscope to download anything of value really. And if you're looking at porn, dude, zoom out until the entire body is in view. It's a warning you must heed. Otherwise you better figure out how to get rid of body parts if you know what I mean.

Don't forget he pardoned supreme liar and felon Roger Stone who went on to plotting assassinations.
