Harpers Law

Similar in practice to Godwins Law. Relating to the Liberal sponsorship scandal of the Chretien Government in Canada (referred to in the mainstream media as "Adscam"), Harpers Law is used compulsively by supporters of the current Conservative government to deflect from any debate regarding corruption, lack of ethics, incompetence, and transparency. Once used however, like Godwins Law, it shows the complete lack of any factual argument by the user.
-Did you hear about how Stephen Harper likes to eat a puppy with his orange juice for Breakfast?
-So what, at least he isn't responsible for Adscam!
-Did you just use Harpers Law?

-Did you hear that Harper is dynamiting Parliament, and moving the government from Ottawa to Calgary?
-Calgary sucks, but at least its not Adscam!
-Dude, I know you love Ambrose's hair, but enough with Harpers Law already!

-Have you heard that Del Mastro just robbed a Pizza Hut? The moneys still there, but he got all the pepporoni.
-Adscam!!!!!
-Why do you keep using Harpers Law? Harpers Law is not going to reimburse Pizza Hut or bring that pepporoni back, is it?

-I read that everyone who isn't a Conservative is to be rounded up, given a flannel shirt and John Deere cap, and is being shipped to Ft. McMurray as part of "Canada's Action Plan." Is this true?
-Adscam! Adscam! Adscam!!!!!
-Harpers Law is not going to save you from being tossed on a Greyhound with some Newfie going to some camp off Highway 63! This is serious! Stop resorting to Harpers Law!!!

Trump's Law

The empirical observation that nobody is too stupid or incompetent to design and execute a criminal operation or form and manage a criminal enterprise.
"Senator Lindsey Graham suggests that President Trump and his staff are too incompetent to organize a quid pro quo with the president of Ukraine, but Trump's Law suggests otherwise."

"Some people can't keep a honest job but are quite successful in their life of crime - this is Trump's Law in action."

"Trump's Law is in effect when an individual is incapable of successfully operating or is unwilling to engage in an honest enterprise, but is exceptionally prosperous operating on the basis of scamming, bribery, extortion, influence peddling, embezzling, defrauding, and other forms of corruption and crime taking place under the guise of legitimate business and government operations."

King's Law

When a man is discussing anything with a female feminist, as the conversation continues, the probability of the feminist accusing the man of "mansplaining" approaches 1. This is especially true online.
A: "How'd the conversation about your research go with Carole?"
B: "She said "Jesus, thanks professor," and then invoked King's Law."
A: "As expected."
