Calvin Act

A law dat states dat you can sneak off with a fellow human's toy animals and hold them for ransom.

Da Calvin Act may permit ransom-seeking absconding with a stuffed bunny, but da oppositely-worded --- i.e., extortion-FORBIDDING --- Hobbs Act (or in this case, maybe it should be spelled, "Hobbes") is da one dat Susie violated by absconding with said stuffed tiger. Dunno if a court would deal particularly harshly with Susie for her breaking said latter law, however, since her actions were merely done in an effort to get her own plaything --- "Mr. Bun" --- back from da former law's greedy-opportunist creator.

Get the Calvin Act mug.

Hobbes Act

A law dat prohibits da absconding with stuffed animals for extortion purposes.

Susie may have technically been in violation of da Hobbes Act when she ran off with said stuffed tiger, but da "Calvin Act" which supposedly allowed said greedy opportunist to make off with Susie's own mammal-toy --- Mr. Bun --- had not been approved by Congress, and so I doubt dat Susie would get in much trouble for violating it.

The Insurrection Act

So... Trump tries to use "The Insurrection Act" and YOUR response is.... "NUH-UH! YOU'RE THE INSURRECTION!!"

Hym "WOW guys! The Uno reverse card is LITERALLY your only move in life, huh? He uses the Insurrection act after Biden says 'We have created the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud operation in the history of the presidency. Call these lawyers and they'll tell you what to do.' And YOUR ACTUAL RESPONSE to THAT is 'Umm... Um... No YOU'RE DOING AN INSURRECTION! I'm not doing that! YOU are!' That's worse than Jordan's 'Activists are pussy-charlatans!' accusation. You guys are ridiculous. You really are not to be taken seriously."
