It’s either inadequate as a defense or it’s FUCKING inadequate for a President of the United States to be so utterly ignorant of the law. Either/Or.

Ignorance of the law isn’t an adequate defense if you’re poor or black or, God help you, both.

To be fair, Barr already tried to spoon feed us the “Trump only did all this crazy public shit because this big hoax investigation really, really stressed him out” defense

Perfectly legitimate. Don’t you remember all the stories about young black men who get a warning for breaking the law without realizing it. Happens all the time, er wait no actually they get shot dead in the street or choked to death over a loosey.  Basically, everything in the report about everyone says they are…

This is correct. I am aghast at how fucking spineless the Mueller team seems to be. Here we have a several hundred pages long report that details all sorts of clearly criminal bullshit, but they just passed the buck and have the audacity to say well they’d probably just say they were too dumb to know what they were…

Yes, are they all going to use the “I’m too dumb to know whether this is legal or not, and also to dumb to seek legal advice” defense?

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t ignorance of the law an inadequate defense? Like just because Junior was too dumb to realize he was breaking the law how does that absolve him?

Just so long as she doesn’t go to one of those “shit-hole” countries. :-/

but where is damn soap?? or they don’t use soap at all???

Fuck! I think my whole apartment would fit in that bathroom. 

Thiiis. There are so many male porn accounts, but he doesn’t give a fuck about those.

I don’t necessarily see the merits of jail time, but there are so many poor women of color in prison for lying about their address to give their children access to a better public school district, so I feel a certain satisfaction and parity of justice in seeing the same punishment applied to a wealthy white woman.

This dude has some serious power and control issues. It sounds like his issues with porn aren’t thinking that it’s immoral as much as being furious that he can’t control it and the women who perform in it. He’d be taking men’s accounts down with just as much zeal if he truly had a moral issue with porn (which wouldn’t…

He’s clearly a right-wing incel with too much time on his hands.

They basically do a version of this in Germany (and I think France, as well). Fines aren’t calculated as a flat fee, they’re calculated by what they call “daily rates.” So if you get penalized for, I don’t know, tax fraud, you’ll be sentenced to pay 30 “daily rates,” which are taken as a percentage of your income,…

“Sweet... fancy, Moses...”

Oh my god, Ivanka blends in with the local Ethiopians so well I had to watch the video twice just to recognize her.

And once she shoots up a school, they can file her under “crazy person” and change the focus to mental health. Win-win.

Plus it helps that she doesn’t look like an ISIS.

Call me crazy, but I think if a wealthy person gets caught doing something illegal with their money and they’re going to get fined, they ought to at least pay double whatever they spent to break the rules. An extra 5 grand? That’s like pocket change to these people. (Okay, so is 30k but at least that’s more.)
