This guy is the whiniest fucking baby. How is it that so many "tough guys" in the States are such big fans of this weakass soft boy. He's pathetic.
It's really easy to avoid sentencing, I've done it all my life by following one simple rule: Don't Do Crimes.
Judges hate him for this one easy trick!
For Profit Prisons hate this one easy trick.
Because they see themselves in him and they are themselves weak and pathetic.
You mean "don't get caught doing crimes"
Nah, I mean don't do crimes.
Don't get caught doing crimes is, by definition, infinitely more risky.
Eh. I’m a pretty plain vanilla middle aged lady and I do crimes on occasion. Not big crimes, but you can’t just not do crimes. Especially before weed was legal, lol. Some people live in states where it’s illegal to commit various consensual acts between consenting adults. They should do crimes. Some people need to not be pregnant, but they are pregnant and it’s illegal to become no longer pregnant where they are. They should do crimes. Some people are drag queens and live in places where that is a crime. Not all laws are good laws.
When you're right you're right! Not all laws are good laws. Unfortunately these days we're heading in the wrong direction on that front too...
Not "infinitely." Even "don't do crimes" still entails the risk of a wrongful conviction.
The risk can be pretty fun hombre but you do what works for ya and I'll own up to what I've done if I have to. A seemingly rare trait here in the states
Whoa, that sounds pretty radical there.
As much as Trump is obviously guilty as fuck, I'm not willing to adopt the "if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from the ~~cops~~ law" mentality.
Nobody said anything about trusting the cops, lol
Don't Talk to the Police
Yeah, sorry, I misunderstood this to mean, "not doing crimes == not being convicted". Which sounded a lot like the "if you're innocent, you have nothing to fear from the police" mentality.
All good! Sounds like we're on the same page anyways
TBF, That'll be a lot harder for you to do if Republicans get back in power and make breathing, or some other unavoidable bullshit, a crime.
Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich person, and a weak person's idea of a strong man. Always has been.

It's because they too are weak-ass soft boys.
Weak ass broke bitch, he gonna be sucking dicks for 20's. (unless it's Putin, then it's free)
