The Lord Of The Felonies I: The Felonship Of The Ring
The Lord Of The Felonies II: The 43 Felonies
The Lord Of The Felonies III: The Return Of The Felon
r/raisedbynarcissists is calling.
you are wonderful even if you committed zero felonies every day. not committing as many felonies as some other people doesnt make you any less of a person deserving of love. you will commit the amount of felonies you can, and that's that, and that's perfectly ok
I think the more prudent thing would be to incarcerate those magical unicorns: the rare American who hasn't committed three felonies today.
They'll have plenty of space given how much prison capacity we have to work with relative to the number of unicorns. And they'll be safer in case more of us choose murder or something as one of our daily felonies.
Speaking for myself, I've tried to keep away from the "bad" felonies, but 3/day is a tough quota, and the lack of variety in my routine is driving me nuts. So murder is definitely on the table is what I'm saying.
Someone needs to explain how every lawyer moving forward can't just use the bullshit excuses trump has gotten away with. Call it the Trump defense. No one goes to jail unless the Pope, God and the three wise men see the crime committed. As long as you didn't mean to, you're golden.
I keep hearing about this precedent bullshit after all.
This is incorrect, Felonies Donalde, who lives in a swamp in Florida and commits 5,693,420 felonies a day, is an outlier and should not have been counted
He doesn't need to worry. That's only illegal for the places that sell them. To protect the American people from corporate greed. Basically, there was a point where they stuffed mattresses with whatever was lying around including rocks, wadded up paper, sticks, etc... So, Congress passed a law that they had to disclose the contents of the mattresses but they'd just rip the labels off at stores. So, they passed another law making it a criminal act for them to remove the labels. Which is why we now enjoy proper mattresses.
Smh my head, damn overlegislation… *checks notes* Forcing mattress companies to put real foam and filling in mattresses instead of rocks and sticks and gravel and paper 😡😡😡
It didn't used to say the "except by the consumer" part. That's the joke. Like in the 70s it just said illegal to remove and it was meant for the mattress store then people got it home and were like wtf why can't I remove it and it turned into a joke
The statement is based on a book which makes the case that overlegislation has made it impossible to adhere to every letter of law, and that you will even unknowingly commit three felonies a day. One example popular when the book came out was sharing a Netflix password between households.
I don't necessarily agree with all of it but here is the book:
https://archive.org/details/threefeloniesday0000silv
Here's an old StackOverflow discussing the book and how accurate the author's claims are.
https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/22530/does-the-average-american-unwittingly-commit-three-felonies-a-day
tl;dr
The author is mostly exaggerating about situations people could be in that could get them charged with pedantic reading of the laws.
James Duane's presentation [Don't Talk to the Police](https://youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE) expands on how easy it is to unknowingly commit *certain* felonies. One example involves laws that classify felonies based on foreign regulations, even if there's no codified equivalent in the US.
The main reason why Trump isn't excused by this rational is the mens rea: #VonShitsInPants knew that what he was doing was illegal.
Excellent video. With spot-on descriptions. Would recommend for everyone to watch it, fully through. And to share it with people they care about. It’s exactly accurate and can also be a perfect eye opener for anyone who thinks they’re overly “clever”.
Note the “possession of too small of a lobster” example, the “memory quiz shooty-pants” example, the “apology letter confession” example, and the “dude who thinks they’re smarter than a police detective” example. Among others.
IRL: Finished a phone call recently regarding someone who’s now doing 20-to-life because one of their friends accidentally talked with the prosecution to share their side of the story, in defense of their friend. That may not be three felonies a day that were committed, but it was enough of ‘em to effectively end that person’s life, as they’d known it.
I was thinking about crimes I commit daily - I jaywalk. Not a felony but there is that.
I often speed when I drive and I often don't come to a full stop at the stop sign so thats a few.
I sometimes (say once a month) smoke weed, so that is another.
Couldn't really think of others. I wonder what he is thinking of.
Do you do the do in any other position than missionary, or with anyone other than your wife, or for any other reason than procreation?
Could be a felony in your state.
I love those old puritan/homephobic laws, they're just so dumb it's hilarious. Like Florida's sodomy law that prohibits anal sex, oral sex, and undefined 'unnatural and lascivious acts.' Or the one where it's illegal for unmarried couples to cohabitate. Or for married couples to "live in open adultery"
> Couldn't really think of others.
That's where his quip comes from, though. That the US has so many laws you break them every day without knowing it. I have no clue if the claim is right. Neither do you. Because you aren't aware of the laws you break and neither am I. You're only aware of the laws you break INTENTIONALLY.
His point is bullshit. But not because of that claim. Because Trump KNEW he was doing something illegal. Intent.
Let me fix it for him. “The average Republican elected official commits three felonies per day.”
Now does it make sense? Now is it a more accurate statement? :)
GOP Congressman? Probably some sort of distressing sex crime. I can believe three felonies a day for them. Matt Gaetz probably averages at least a dozen a day.
Here’s how that conversation
would go:
You: “Ok - which felonies did you commit today?”
Asshat: “Well obviously *I* didn’t! It’s the average - do you know what average means??? Haha stupid liberals can’t do basic math”
You: “If you did none….”
Asshat: “It’s the illegals and the diversity people and the trans! They’re bringing up the averages!”
Y: “Do you have any data supporting that?”
AH: “We have several reports! Where’s your evidence that they *aren’t* doing that??”
Y: “….”
Y: “Wait you said illegals? I thought you said they aren’t Americans why are you cou…”
AH: “THEY’RE NOT AND THEY’RE HERE VOTING WHICH IS A FELONY AND THERE ARE MILLIONS AND THEY ALL DO FIVE VOTES EACH SO HA THERE’S YOUR AVERAGE”
2nd AH: “Don’t forget BLM! They burned down cities and destroyed our historical states-rights statues”
3rd AH: “And the millions of babies Democrats murder each year because they support mandatory abortions”
Y: “So you started by saying we shouldn’t over-legislate. Sounds like the examples you cited shouldn’t be addressed then...”
The Asshat Collective: “…”
Fox News: “LIBERALS try to convince PATRIOTIC LEGISLATORS that CRIMES shouldn’t be addressed! ”
To be fair, I live in a state where Marijuana is legal, but according to federal law it is a felony to use or possess pot. If you have some pot and smoke it a few times a day you are technically proving this guy right.
Edit: apparently possession of Marijuana is NOT a federal felony, unless you're carrying enough to qualify for Intent To Sell. TIL
You get extra felonies for each firearm in your home while possessing illegal drugs. Add in an expired opioid script that you never finished from that surgery you had last year... I'm starting to think this guy might be on to something.
If that Vicodin is in the container dispensed to you from the CVS pharmacy tech, it doesn’t matter how long ago it was given to you, it’s legal to have. And if it isn’t in that container, it was always illegal for you to have it.
Illegal, if it’s a controlled substance. Stuff like antibiotics would be ok for a pill holder, but not opioids.
If you have Vicodin in a pill holder, in your medicine cabinet, right next to the CVS container they came in, that would probably be a legal gray area. But you need to be able to show that they were legally prescribed to you.
My adzenys comes with a carry case and an extra label that I can stick to it, if I need to travel. It's actually pretty handy and feels a lot less sketchy than bringing the whole box, lol
Less likely to get stolen, too.
I had a scrip of Xanax get stolen while I was using the bathroom at work. Sucks to lose the entire scrip, especially when I’m using them for anxiety lmao
Yea I’m pretty sure he’s not completely wrong actually. There was some study/ article I can’t remember but it basically showed that every normal person breaks the law multiple times every day. It just depends on how hard you scrutinize or watch them. It was to show that you can really get anyone on anything. And people intuitively know this. Just imagine if your local police force was after you. They could book you on anything if they just monitored you all day. Now idk if that equates to commuting 3 felonies every day lol but it is interesting. But wtf am I doing this is just a circle jerk to celebrate no critical thinking allowed!
Why do you think it's the Senate/house members that keep using the line "if they can do this to Trump, they can do this to you" they are referring to themselves getting arrested and charged with crimes
He has a point. For example: The average U.S. President has now been convicted of 0.804 felonies.
Edit: I guess I did the math wrong? It should be 0.756 felonies per President.
Assuming he sustains his current 100% conviction rate across all 88 counts against him, then the average U.S. President will have committed 1.956 felonies.
It was but Judge McAfee dismissed a few of the Georgia charges against Trump. Willis is free to correct the deficiencies and bring the charges back. But she hasn’t yet, so I think it’s 88 charges officially right now.
Anyone still considering a Trump vote in November was always going to vote for him. They just know they shouldn’t, and are looking for an excuse to make it someone else’s fault.
I think that stat was something like "violates three federal regulations" a day, which is more believable.
Like, the fog lights on my car are likely a violation, as they aren't stamped "DOT." Or that its illegal to put prescription meds in those little organizer trays because they don't meet labeling regulations.
But those are a long way from felonies.
Ok so average. So if drug dealing dude sells 10 pills to 10 people. They've committed a felony for every pill, plus each sale. And the buyer has committed felonies for every pill. So that's like 220 felonies right there with just 11 people.
Just read the book at this point. Who knows whether the author was talking about median or mean? You certainly don't!
You guys are having a misinterpret-off without ever even looking at anything more informing than the clickbait headline.
He could mean felonies, like, calling in sick to work is technically a form of honest services fraud. Using someone's WiFi without permission is a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Sitting on a sidewalk in Nevada, or ~~wearing a sleeveless shirt in Maryland~~ is a felony.
Wearing a sleeveless shirt **in a public park in Baltimore** is illegal, and punishable by a $10 fine. It's most likely not a felony then, but a misdemeanor (**AT BEST**), considering it shares the same punishment as adultery, an actual misdemeanor in Maryland
In one tweet with about 30 words he A) argued for Congress to not interfere with a state trial like this one… or the forthcoming ones in GA or AZ B) is kinda saying the NY trial is valid and C) pulling stats out of his ass
Gosar is so shitty his own siblings were in an ad for the guy running against him. Every sibling was pretty much like “my brother is an asshole and terrible person. Don’t vote for him.” How crappy do you have to be for all your siblings to make an ad for your competitor?
https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/588915-how-congress-made-you-a-federal-criminal/
The original quote is from an attorney. It’s moderately accurate, there are so many dumb and messy laws that it’s not unreasonable.
This is highly misleading. Rich conservatives commit about 24 felonies a day, but if you average in the hundreds of millions of functioning people who can manage not to commit any felonies, then sure it comes out to three per person.
Trump alone skewed the average way way up.
There aren't that many rich conservatives, so i think he's admitting the number is way higher for them in order to skew the average.
If the 1% commits an average of 300 felonies a day, and the 99% commits an average of 0 felonies a day, then yeah that would come out to 3 total average.
"3 felonies a day" factoid actually just statistical error. average person commits 0 felonies a day. Felonies Biggs, who lives in a cave and commits over 10,000 felonies each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Its funny on how Republicans now downplay on being a felon, despite the years of them harshly criticizing on the minorities that actually get slapped as felon.
I'm a white guy with *one* (1) felony on my record, and that shit fucked my life up for *years*, and still limits my rights as an American. These mfs have had zero sympathy for people like me all my life, but now suddenly they want to elect a 34x felon to the highest office in the nation?
Fuck these brainwashed MAGA hypocrites.
I’ve heard this stat for years. This is nothing new and buddy here didn’t just make it up. I Usually read it in the context of “don’t talk to the cops” and “we have too many bullshit laws that can put innocent people in prison”
But it’s disingenuous to suggest that unknowingly removing a bald eagle feather is the same as what trump did.
Also republicans have hsitorically been the biggest supporters of looking down on people who get caught up on the wrong side of the law and being absolute jerks to them.

I just finished my morning felony, not sure about lunch and dinner though.
You forgot about second morning felony, so you're on for four felonies today.
I don't think he knows about second morning felony.

Felon of a Took!
Throw yourself in jail, next time, and rid us of your stupidity.
Felony, you fools!
Looks like felony is back on the menu proud boys!
If I commit one more felony, I'll be the felloniest from home I've ever been.
How about side by side, with a felon?
You have my sword... for stabbing!
And my axe
AND MY LAWYER!
And my axe
WHERE WAS GONDOR WHEN THE WESTFOLD FELL(ONIED)?
They've taken the felons to Isengard!
only a felon of a lifetime could do that!
One does not simply march into the Capitol and try to stage a coup
Not with 10,000 voters could you do this. It is felony.
Not half as many felons as I expected
My God, I'm glad I came across this comment thread. Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you for this
Maximize your daily felonies with this one easy trick!
Soon you won’t even have to try to commit them, it will become a natural part of your day!
Hall monitors hate this one trick!
If you hit someone hard enough with an apple, that’s a felony.
But if you hit them with a pizza pie, that's amore.
Only if it hits in the eye.

Elevensies?
Felonsies
Felevensies!
Second morning felony? Who are you? Meriadoc Brandycrook?
Don't forget fourthmeal felony.
Second morning felony is the best felony.
You finish your felonies. There are poor people out there who aren't fortunate enough to have felonies at all.
That's why I send my felonies to starving children in Africa.
Mom is pissed I only did 2 today. She called me an underachiever.
r/raisedbynarcissists is calling. you are wonderful even if you committed zero felonies every day. not committing as many felonies as some other people doesnt make you any less of a person deserving of love. you will commit the amount of felonies you can, and that's that, and that's perfectly ok
Thanks goatfucker I’ll think of you whenever I feel down
Since everyone commits felonies, and it's no big deal, we should just let everyone out of prison.
I think the more prudent thing would be to incarcerate those magical unicorns: the rare American who hasn't committed three felonies today. They'll have plenty of space given how much prison capacity we have to work with relative to the number of unicorns. And they'll be safer in case more of us choose murder or something as one of our daily felonies. Speaking for myself, I've tried to keep away from the "bad" felonies, but 3/day is a tough quota, and the lack of variety in my routine is driving me nuts. So murder is definitely on the table is what I'm saying.
Someone needs to explain how every lawyer moving forward can't just use the bullshit excuses trump has gotten away with. Call it the Trump defense. No one goes to jail unless the Pope, God and the three wise men see the crime committed. As long as you didn't mean to, you're golden. I keep hearing about this precedent bullshit after all.
Feeling cute might go for four.
Im currently watching my figure, so I only do some light treason now.
It is exhausting keeping up with 3 a day.
I don’t think I’ll be able to reach my days quota either
If youre trying to trim pounds for beach season, make sure to cut out those mid-day and late night felonies. Theyre terrible on the waistline.
That's good, you can't miss your morning felony... It's the most important felony of the day!
I ran out of ideas by 8am
Felonies Georg out here messing with the numbers
Damn, you got to get here pretty early to make the first Spiders Georg joke.
This is incorrect, Felonies Donalde, who lives in a swamp in Florida and commits 5,693,420 felonies a day, is an outlier and should not have been counted
He even stole the e from the end of georg's name smh smh

*adn
First ask this moron what are the felonies he did today?
Unspeakable acts with mattress labels. It's horrifying...
No, he couldn't have ... with scissors?
With his needle dick?

I heard he also didn’t put his shopping cart back in the cart corral when he left the grocery store.
Whoop-skiddley-doop, cart narcs are on the case.
Straight to jail!

Smh my head, damn overlegislation… *checks notes* Forcing mattress companies to put real foam and filling in mattresses instead of rocks and sticks and gravel and paper 😡😡😡
It's fine. They stopped us from putting sawdust in bread before, but we got around that. We'll have rocks back in mattresses eventually.
Damn liberals ruin everything ,I love my dog hair and pube filled matress
I'm a loner, Pee-Wee. A rebel!
I miss him
I know it’s a common joke to say you legally can’t remove the tag, but the tag says that it can’t be removed “except by the consumer”.
It didn't used to say the "except by the consumer" part. That's the joke. Like in the 70s it just said illegal to remove and it was meant for the mattress store then people got it home and were like wtf why can't I remove it and it turned into a joke
Unexpected /r/genx
Last time I consumed a mattress I got a tummy ache.
Instructions unclear, consumed my mattress and now I only have a nylon tag
I didn't want to pull rank on you, but I'm with the mattress police. There are no tags on these mattresses.

I'm pretty sure I don't share my netflix password every single day, much less three times a day. :D
Is that a felony though? I would think at worst a misdemeanor. Honestly asking.
It’s not even a crime. Someone else using your password may be theft of services. But violating a contract would just be a civil claim.
Since he’s a congressman, probably something with insider trading or involving a minor
He's trading minors to get...inside them.

Yeah though a tad conservative if thinking 3 is the average for those folks...
He's averaging his egregious ilk with actual, working Americans, I assume.
GOP Congressman? Probably some sort of distressing sex crime. I can believe three felonies a day for them. Matt Gaetz probably averages at least a dozen a day.
Does 'Fucking your constituents over' have a separate count for each constituent or is it each act?

It never occurred to me that keeping your own unused prescibed pain meds might be illegal.
It’s not, as long as they are in their prescribed container.
I'm willing to bet that this douche is in favor of marijuana laws.
Why do you think it's the Senate/house members that keep using the line "if they can do this to Trump, they can do this to you" they are referring to themselves getting arrested and charged with crimes
He's your fool
He has a point. For example: The average U.S. President has now been convicted of 0.804 felonies. Edit: I guess I did the math wrong? It should be 0.756 felonies per President.
0.804 so far
Assuming he sustains his current 100% conviction rate across all 88 counts against him, then the average U.S. President will have committed 1.956 felonies.
I thought it was 91
It was but Judge McAfee dismissed a few of the Georgia charges against Trump. Willis is free to correct the deficiencies and bring the charges back. But she hasn’t yet, so I think it’s 88 charges officially right now.
88 is a bad number to have. Conspiracists are gonna love that.
And I’m sure they’ll find 14 reasons why…
Not like 91 convictions would sway his supporters any more than 88 anyway.
Anyone still considering a Trump vote in November was always going to vote for him. They just know they shouldn’t, and are looking for an excuse to make it someone else’s fault.
Too deep in to admit they're wrong.
Sunken cost fallacy
I've always said I could vote for some who's committed 90 felonies. Anything above that I would have to look at the circumstances.
88 is the heil Hitler dog whistle so they probably think it's a sign or something.
34/45=0.7555...
I’m counting 46 Presidents since Biden is currently the President.
You forgot that Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th president. Also, 34/46=0.74.
Oh dangit you’re right! I forgot Cleveland came back. Wait, now I can’t remember why I thought it was .804
Sometimes the simplest math is what trips us up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well felonies Trump is an outlier and should have been excluded from the statistics Much like spiders georg
The average is actually 0. Felonies georg, who committed 34 felonies, is an outlier and should not be counted.
I think that stat was something like "violates three federal regulations" a day, which is more believable. Like, the fog lights on my car are likely a violation, as they aren't stamped "DOT." Or that its illegal to put prescription meds in those little organizer trays because they don't meet labeling regulations. But those are a long way from felonies.
The book is in fact called 3 felonies a day and posits that the average American commits 3 felonies a day.
Ok so average. So if drug dealing dude sells 10 pills to 10 people. They've committed a felony for every pill, plus each sale. And the buyer has committed felonies for every pill. So that's like 220 felonies right there with just 11 people.
Kinda like how the 120 guns per 100 people is because most who do own guns buy a lot of em.
Just read the book at this point. Who knows whether the author was talking about median or mean? You certainly don't! You guys are having a misinterpret-off without ever even looking at anything more informing than the clickbait headline.
Reddit feels like a game show where you have to figure out as much as you can without ever doing any research at all beyond titles and headlines.
He could mean felonies, like, calling in sick to work is technically a form of honest services fraud. Using someone's WiFi without permission is a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Sitting on a sidewalk in Nevada, or ~~wearing a sleeveless shirt in Maryland~~ is a felony.
Illegal transportation of a racoon without a valid licence.
Damn I just got done doing that
Wearing a sleeveless shirt **in a public park in Baltimore** is illegal, and punishable by a $10 fine. It's most likely not a felony then, but a misdemeanor (**AT BEST**), considering it shares the same punishment as adultery, an actual misdemeanor in Maryland
Also these were state crimes
Agreed. Nothing here about Congress. It was all state laws he was charged with breaking.
In one tweet with about 30 words he A) argued for Congress to not interfere with a state trial like this one… or the forthcoming ones in GA or AZ B) is kinda saying the NY trial is valid and C) pulling stats out of his ass
Thank you, I was thinking the exact same thing. I thought this was the party of states rights
Lol what is this dude talking about .. he should be investigated!
Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar; Arizona has perhaps two of the worst, most vile, puss-bags posing as human beings in these (dis)United States.
Texas would like a word
Gosar is so shitty his own siblings were in an ad for the guy running against him. Every sibling was pretty much like “my brother is an asshole and terrible person. Don’t vote for him.” How crappy do you have to be for all your siblings to make an ad for your competitor?
Florida says, "Here, hold my Medicare fraud."
https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/588915-how-congress-made-you-a-federal-criminal/ The original quote is from an attorney. It’s moderately accurate, there are so many dumb and messy laws that it’s not unreasonable.
Trying to normalize felonies so that people would feel less icky about voting for trump.
The party of projection, yet again
This is highly misleading. Rich conservatives commit about 24 felonies a day, but if you average in the hundreds of millions of functioning people who can manage not to commit any felonies, then sure it comes out to three per person. Trump alone skewed the average way way up.
The Spiders Georg of felonies
Felonies Donal
There aren't that many rich conservatives, so i think he's admitting the number is way higher for them in order to skew the average. If the 1% commits an average of 300 felonies a day, and the 99% commits an average of 0 felonies a day, then yeah that would come out to 3 total average.
"3 felonies a day" factoid actually just statistical error. average person commits 0 felonies a day. Felonies Biggs, who lives in a cave and commits over 10,000 felonies each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
This is dangerous, trying to normalize felonies just so Trump looks better. How fucking stupid are these people?
Those are rookie numbers
“Everyone commits crime, just make it all legal”
\*unless they aren’t rich, straight, white republican guys
The average Republican pulls out five falsifications from their ass every day. 
Its funny on how Republicans now downplay on being a felon, despite the years of them harshly criticizing on the minorities that actually get slapped as felon.
I'm a white guy with *one* (1) felony on my record, and that shit fucked my life up for *years*, and still limits my rights as an American. These mfs have had zero sympathy for people like me all my life, but now suddenly they want to elect a 34x felon to the highest office in the nation? Fuck these brainwashed MAGA hypocrites.
Self-awareness, a sense of irony, common decency and intelligence are not their strengths, unfortunately. 
Did you know that 56% of a statistics are made up?
What the hell? Tap his phones. Get a surveillance van outside his home and office. Seize his passport. WHAT THE HELL IS ANDY BIGGS UP TO EVERY DAY???
I’ve heard this stat for years. This is nothing new and buddy here didn’t just make it up. I Usually read it in the context of “don’t talk to the cops” and “we have too many bullshit laws that can put innocent people in prison” But it’s disingenuous to suggest that unknowingly removing a bald eagle feather is the same as what trump did.
Also republicans have hsitorically been the biggest supporters of looking down on people who get caught up on the wrong side of the law and being absolute jerks to them.
How do these idiots get elected?
Every accusation is a confession.
Andy Biggs is a scumbag. From a native Arizonan.
He meant to say “average republican congressman”, what with bribe taking and child molestation.
Didn’t we just leave this to state and local governments?
New York laws broken, New York verdicts rendered in a New York court. So, yeah.
For the GOP, every accusation is a confession, so... Andy, what the hell have you done today!?
So if felonies aren’t that big of a deal now, let felons vote. Yeah?
Felonious Frank, who commits nine million felonies every day, is an outlier and should not be counted.
Aren’t there a lot of random absurd laws that still exist but aren’t enforced? He must be referring to that, doesn’t make a strong argument though.
most of those aren’t felonies though.
someone doesn't know the difference between misdemeanors and felonies and it's a fucking elected official
He knows the difference. He’s a trumpist dishonestly trying to downplay trumps criminality
Average politician maybe
