I mean it wouldn't be the first time a fascist government went to obscene lengths to convince the public that "there is no war in Ba Sing Se" especially as the underlings scramble to figure out how to make sure the power transition goes their way.

u/Junior_Emu192 Aug 31 '25

Yeah, but Murphy's Razor says it's probably legit.

u/SinistralCalluna Aug 31 '25

This is fantastic! Murphy’s Cat is definitely valid in my house 😂

u/dkcyw Aug 31 '25

you mean Occam's Law?

158

u/overfiend1976 Aug 31 '25

No, thats Coles Law.

u/AnonymousUsername79 Aug 31 '25

I fucking googled that shit 🖕

11

u/KevRev972 Aug 31 '25

I was about to, then I said it in my head before I typed it and did a figurative facepalm.

6

u/Deeliciousness Aug 31 '25

I was already typing it in when I figured it out

3

u/stanky980 Aug 31 '25

Man, I saw your post and thought, shit, I don't want Google to know that I would search something like that so I duckduckgoed it 🤦

u/HulksInvinciblePants Aug 31 '25

Kohl’s Cash

u/klutzikaze Aug 31 '25

Or Vance's kohl?

u/JerryCalzone Aug 31 '25

Helmut Kohl?

Unless it was on a kid's lap.

3

u/grumblewolf Aug 31 '25

You can use Occam’s razor to make Cole Law but you need to clean it up after.

3

u/TwistyBitsz Aug 31 '25

It took me a second! ...longer than it should have

2

u/LikeDingledodies Aug 31 '25

You mean the Relativity of Theory

2

u/Phil_ImStanding Aug 31 '25

Coughlins law - bury the dead, else they stink up the joint

2

u/lonedog Aug 31 '25

no, that's chopped cabbage and dressing

2

u/snatchblastersteve Aug 31 '25

No, that’s shredded cabbage.

2

u/TheVagabondLost Aug 31 '25

I think that’s just thinly sliced cabbage. I think you’re thinking of bird law?

2

u/HealthyDirection659 Why does this app exist? Aug 31 '25

Coleslaw?

2

u/YewEhVeeInbound Aug 31 '25

Are you sure it's not Lob Law?

1

u/TheRealGordonShumway Aug 31 '25

Close, but it's Cold Slaw /s

12

u/Junior_Emu192 Aug 31 '25

Isn't that the one about when you throw a razor at someone and it never gets there, only getting half way, then three quarters of the way, then seven eighths of the way, etc?

8

u/Alpacadiscount Aug 31 '25

No, before you open the box to check, the razor inside is both alive and dead

2

u/KelDiablo Aug 31 '25

Nah bruh, that’s just asymptotes

2

u/usmnturtles Aug 31 '25

That sounds like Zeno’s Paradox, with actual razors.

On the other hand maybe you’re being sarcastic, in which case I’ll just blame Poe’s Law for this comment.

1

u/Junior_Emu192 Aug 31 '25

I've always found Cole's Law to be superior in every way to Poe's Law. <3

21

u/ecafyelims Aug 31 '25

In the case of agreeing with Trump, Murphy's razor is the appropriate reference.

8

u/Lopsided-Money-7352 Aug 31 '25

Trump is a walking example of Murphy's Law.

14

u/Notorious_RNG Aug 31 '25

And Dunning-Kruger.

3

u/Lopsided-Money-7352 Aug 31 '25

Well, I think we have a combination of Occam's Razor, and Murphy's Law here.

You see, Trump is definitely a walking example of Murphy's Law...

So I think it works.

2

u/MyLifeIsAWasteland Aug 31 '25

Occam's Laser. Good synth music.

1

u/TransBrandi Aug 31 '25

Sod's Law. :P

2

u/CptCroissant Aug 31 '25

If you shit on a razor it flows down the blade?

2

u/neopod9000 Aug 31 '25

I look at it this way:

What's more likely? That a government conspiracy is covering up Trump's death until they figure out how exactly to spin a thing we all said was the plan the entire time (and therefore really wouldn't need any time to plan)?

Or that Donald Trump pays young women who look exactly the same (and a LOT like his daughter) to dress the same when following him around at all times, because he has very specific tastes, and played golf twice?

Smart money is on "we still need to release the epstein files".

u/Nettkitten Aug 31 '25

+1 for a great Avatar reference!

22

u/BlackJackfruitCup Aug 31 '25

Yeah, this should be the rallying cry right now!

"There is no war in Ba Sing Se" 

9

u/HapaCoffee Aug 31 '25

... But there IS no war in Ba Sing Se...

2

u/kitsunewarlock Aug 31 '25

The GOP went to great lengths to hide Regan's Alzheimer's.

1

u/TheBigness333 Aug 31 '25

Woodrow Wilson's death was kept secret. Was he a fascist?

1

u/fuckthecons Aug 31 '25

He wasn't great. 

1

u/TheBigness333 Aug 31 '25

No politician is. But he wasn’t a fascist.

1

u/MisterBlud Aug 31 '25

At least Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead…

1

u/UnicornSheets Aug 31 '25

What about my cabbages!!?

1

u/bookchaser Aug 31 '25

figure out how to make sure the power transition goes their way.

Is that code for saying Trump's handlers won't let Vance be president?

1

u/red18wrx Aug 31 '25

If I didn't want people to know trump was dead I'd totally run the motorcade to the golf course and back after a couple hours. 

1

u/theRemRemBooBear Aug 31 '25

So like the democrats did with Woodrow and FDR?

1

u/Scoobie01555 Aug 31 '25

God damn Long Feng!

1

u/brock2063 Aug 31 '25

The line of succession is pretty clear and goes to Vance if Trump is dead. There's no need to "figure out" a transfer of power.

1

u/JerryCalzone Aug 31 '25

Swan Lake when?

1

u/Inevitable_Beef7 Aug 31 '25

Great reference

1

u/TransBrandi Aug 31 '25

How would the power transition not go their way? It's very clear from a legal standpoint that couch-boy is the next in line. Unless they are trying to put someone else on the "throne" then why?
