For years, right wingers have told people who got arrested for minor offenses that claimed they didn’t know it was illegal that, “ignorance of the law is no excuse.”
Now suddenly it’s an excuse.
There is a word for that, hypocrite.
Yes, but I already said ‘right wingers’ and I didn’t want to repeat myself.
Good point
It already worked for Jr when they decided he was too dumb to collude with Russia.
Ah, the Mueller report, where Mueller wrote that there was so much obstruction that he couldn’t do his job, and the Republicans and Fox then screamed “see, no collusion found”.
If you don’t look for it, it doesn’t exist. It works for crime, it works for COVID, it works for everything!

You can show him something and have him deny it moments later and there’s no way of divining if he’s lying, a moron, that fucking narcissistic or all of the above.
The answer is D, all of the above.
Sadly, that isn’t how it works. The prosecution always has the burden of proof. The accused is presumed innocent.
Let’s not go crazy and act like things are different just because cheeto man is a douche canoe and we want to see him rot in jail.
On the other hand, we can’t just allow “I didn’t know” or “I can’t remember” to be a universal get-out-of-jail-free card, or anybody could get out of anything with this One Weird Trick. Can you imagine someone getting out of a murder charge by claiming they didn’t know the thing in their hand was a gun? (Oh wait, that actually happened, more or less. Not sure how that affects my argument, though.)
