MAGA! Convict People for Laughing

Why are all these people claiming Trump had nothing to do with this? When Obama was in charge, everything was his fault. Now that Trump has the wheel, apparently the rules have changed.

So wtf does this have to do with Trump?

The people in power get to choose how to enforce the laws and when to pursue prosecution.

Number of people convicted of laughing in every other presidential administration = 0

Number of people convicted of laughing under Trump = 1 old woman

Welcome to Trump's America.

The only thing the prosecution accused her of was laughing. Did you not realize that?

...I realize that you probably didn't read the article.

"Prosecutors described her actions differently.

Ms. Fairooz had “let out a loud burst of laughter, followed by a second louder burst of laughter,” the U.S. attorney’s office said in the filing. The police then tried to “quietly escort” Ms. Fairooz from the room, but she “grew loud and more disruptive, eventually halting the confirmation hearing,” the court papers argued."

..........

"Ms. Fairooz was found guilty of the two charges she faced: one of disorderly and disruptive conduct and a charge of parading or demonstrating on Capitol grounds, according to her lawyer, Samuel A. Bogash."​

I am aware that they claimed the laughter qualified as disruption.

If i heard some idiot lie and claim that Sessions' track record reflects equal representation than i'd laugh, too.

Did you see the other part where she threw a fit and started shouting when they escorted her out?

That is disorderly.
 
A jury was convinced the government met the standards required for a conviction. She'll be placed in the snowflake cell block where she'll be forced to watch john wayne war movies as punishment.

While that is an interesting opinion to discuss, it does not refute or have anything to do with what I said.

Exaggerated nonsense.
She broke the law and it wasn't about simply laughing.
It was about disruptive and disorderly conduct.
And btw, she was convicted by Americans, not the administration.

Yes, so far much better than Obama's who didn't enforce all the laws already on the books.

Apparently you do not know what is being discussed.
Let me help you out.
This woman engaged in disruptive and disorderly conduct of the Attorney General's confirmation hearing.
She was not laughing at Trump.
