It doesn't take a genius to know that criminals commit crimes. They don't follow the law. Hello! That's the very definition of being a criminal.

The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager
