Eagan's Law

A law that governs the flow of unfortunate events in time. Applies equally to philosophical, physical, mental, and emotional conflicts. Eagan's Law states that:

"Given a specific set of circumstances, the most personally inconvenient outcome of a situation will always be the end result. Should one make a decision to enact a more convenient solution, that solution will end up becoming more inconvenient than the first.

However, in the event that one recognizes the potential of the most inconvenient outcome, an equally inconvenient but unforeseen outcome shall take its place."

Over the years, many have equated Eagan's Law with Murphy's Law, which holds that "anything that can go wrong will go wrong." Although the two are similar in subject matter, Eagan's Law provides a more comprehensive understanding of unfortunate phenomena than Murphy's Law. Murphy himself admitted this often, crediting Eagan's Law as the basis of much of his own work (citation needed).

Nicky's Law

Similar to Godwin's Law, if an argument over music is taking place and one party invokes Brittany Spears, they automatically lose the argument.
Pedro: "okay, diego's umbrella was a big improvement over bat makumba"

Javier: "What r u talking about? Bat Makumba tore it up. They are different...for sure. If you can't handle it go listen to your Brittany Spears albums and keep your mind closed to the World."

Pedro: "I love that you just called someone who went to a dengue fever show a closed minded brittany spears fan - I'm invoking Nicky's 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."
