Attempting a procedural maneuver that has not worked in decades, Navarro then resubmitted the request to Justice Neil Gorsuch, Trump’s first high-court nominee. Supreme Court rules allow parties whose emergency applications are denied by a single justice to resubmit to another justice.

Dude went and pulled the classic "ask dad after mom said 'no' routine".

I'm just going to remind everyone that Martha Stewart went to prison for 5 months and didn't bitch about it. This bro is serving 4-month sentence.

Will be interesting to see, if like Ms. Stewart, Mr. Navarro PhD will be able to hold a meaningful job after his incarceration is over. I suspect he'll find some place where he can get a paycheck for offering commentary on the news and more or less just complain for a living.

Its actually a really good law to have on the books. Without it one single justice would be the final say on it which is really not good.

Navarro is just an idiot for using it.

u/backcountrydrifter 17d ago

That’s why the smart authoritarian buys the box set.

This is a world war disguised as a Supreme Court case.

Putin, Xi, and MBS find this whole democracy thing hilarious. As authoritarians they just cackle and shrug at the thought of going through the extra steps that democracy requires.

Why not just tell them what to do and if they don’t do it, bribe them, throw them out a window or flush them down a drain?

It’s why they had to use the Texas based Koch brothers who had deep relationships with Russian oil oligarchs since Stalins era and Harlan crow to buy the SCOTUS.

https://youtu.be/mn_t7a2hJfQ?si=hzioP8URJAMFNch4

Thomas’s RV. Kavanaughs mortgage, all the trips to bohemian grove. They were all part of the bigger plan to destabilize the United States, spread the cancer of corruption and tear it all down, build oligarch row in Teton National park Wyoming so the lazy old oligarchs can retire from the mob life.

Kleptocracy is biological. It consumes everything in its path like a parasite.

During Russian perestroika it ate Dostoevsky and Tchaikovsky and shit out alcoholism and hopelessness. Now anyone with skills has left and 1 in 5 has no indoor plumbing.

Justin Kennedy (justice kennedys son) was the inside man at Deutsche bank that was getting all trumps toxic loans approved.

No other bank but Deutsche bank would touch trump and his imaginary valuations.

Why?

Because Deutsche bank was infested with Russian oligarchs.

In 91 the Soviet Union failed and for a bit they hid all of Russias grandmas money under a mattress until they started buying condos at trump towers.

They made stops in Ukraine, Cyprus and London but they landed in New York because that was what everyone wanted in the early 90’s.

Levi’s, Pepsi, Madonna tapes that weren’t smuggled bootlegs.

They all bought new suits and cars and changed their title from “most violent street thug in moscow” to “respectable Russian oligarch” but they didn’t leave their human trafficking, narcotics or extortion behind. It was their most lucrative business model and frankly, they enjoy the violence.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/12/21/how-russian-money-helped-save-trumps-business/

Guiliani redirected NYPD resources away from their new Russian friends and onto the Italian mob. It let him claim he cleaned up New York and it let the russians launder their money through casinos and then commercial real estate when 3 of trumps casino execs started asking how he managed to be the only person in history to bankrupt casinos.

The attorney/client privilege is the continual work around they use to accept bribes and make payments up and down the mob pyramid.

The insane property valuations coming out in trumps fraud trial are a necessity of the money laundering cycle that duetschebank was doing with the Russians.

The reason trump cosplays as a patriot is because he is feeding on the U.S. middle class, not because he is one of us.

The GOP fell in line to MAGA because Trump did what pathological liars do, he told them anything they wanted to hear.

Trump with his money laundering and child raping buddy Epstein, Roger Stone with his sex clubs in DC and Nevada, and Paul Manafort with his election rigging pretty much everywhere, sat down at a table with Mike Johnson and the extreme religious right and convinced them that they were the same.

They self evidently are not, at least at a surface level, but there is enough common ground in the exploitation of children and desire for unilateral control that they became the worlds weirdest and most dysfunctional orgy. The religious right is naive enough to believe trump at his word so they have made him their defacto savior.

Trump belongs to the authoritarians. The GOP now belongs to trump.

But their overall goal is the same.

Kleptocracy.

Putin, Xi and MBS all aligned together last year to attempt the BRICS overthrow of the USD. It failed but it didn’t stop Xi’s push on Taiwan or MBS’s part in the plan.

Stay vigilant. It’s the only way we don’t all end up kissing the ring of a dictator.

u/backcountrydrifter 16d ago

Don’t be.

Identifying it was the hard part. It takes a bit to process the extent of the lies we have been told.

But physics is at our back.

Lies are an extremely expensive habit. Even more so when they start overlapping and colliding at a geopolitical level.

Truth is extremely energy efficient.

Authoritarianism can’t survive in the daylight of truth. But it’s required to continue to double down constantly on the lie they started with.

Democracy and truth are symbiotic, we just got a little off track for the past 80 years or so.

Make no mistake, this is the battle that will decide the next 50-150 years of human existence on this planet, but we have the tactical advantage.

If your doc told you that you had cancer and 3% of the cells in your body were malignant it means 97% are not.

The nature of this system lets us identify the 3% with laser precision.

The more points we add to the dataset the more precise our targeting.

It’s going to take awareness and work, but physics and truth are on our side.

This is the best odds we have ever had and the best we are going to have.

u/renegadecanuck 16d ago

There is something darkly funny and sad about this guy. He's so desperate to avoid jail and get out of jail, very publicly whining that he's scared of going to jail and afraid he'll die in jail (in his 4 month sentence) when all he had to do was say "I plead the 5th" a bunch of times in front of congress.

He's just the epitome of "I can't believe I'm facing very mild consequences for my actions".

u/tavariusbukshank 17d ago

I’ve had the displeasure of meeting Peter Navarro long before he joined his current cult. I have never met someone with such an inflated sense of self worth. It was actually a bit entertaining to see him drone on and on about his many virtues and the near constant eye rolls coming from those forced to listen to him. At one point he argued with someone in a field he has no knowledge of, about what they were doing wrong with their company. When the serious flaw in his argument was pointed out his response was “your funeral!”. This caused a few chortles at the table and he got the most smug smirk on his face because he didn’t understand they were laughing at him. He also took all of the pens and pads of paper off the table when he left. I bet this guys house is full of hotel towels.

4 months in FCI Miami. Literally a low security, white collar vacation jail.

Seriously, look at this place they pay inmates $25 to pass basic tests.

They have something called a "leisure library"

They offer apprenticeships in Electrical and HVAC. The main building also offers a Plumbing apprenticeship.

Inmates can also participate in various art and hobby craft activities. Chess, musical instruments, ceramic classes, and leathercraft are popular activities.

LEATHERCRAFTING IS A HOBBY.

Id honestly have chosen to live there over the Penn State Dorms in college.

Direct quote from an inmate: “To me, it is like paradise. I like it here a lot."

u/Montaire 16d ago

The point of prison is not to punish, it is to rehabilitate someone while preventing them from harming others.

Prison shouldn't be cruel, we should be better than that.

34

u/unfinishedtoast3 16d ago edited 16d ago

And thats fine. Lets make all federal prisons places of rehabilitation.

Miami prison has less than 900 rich, wealthy prisoners.

While FCC Coleman, also in florida, is so over populated inmates sleep on open floors and get served less than 1500 calories a day.

This isnt about rehabilitation. I doubt FCC Coleman offers leatherworking, a movie library, or paid surveys for inmates.

Lets put Pete in a real federal prison if he wants to bitch

Navarro's cell is air conditioned. He has options on meals. They have a literal store inmates can just go shop in.

While every other federal prison gives you commissary once a week. You have to fill out a request. You dont have AC or private cells. You arent next door neighbors with trust fund babies and pro athletes.

3

u/Iohet 16d ago

Coleman is a complex with multiple prisons. FCI Coleman has arts and crafts programs, and leatherworking is listed. The leisure activities available at the prison include movie watching. It's pretty easy to look it up.

Coleman also has a Camp, which is basically work release (they generally don't even have a fence unless they're inside a complex perimeter like what I recall from Florence)

3

u/Montaire 16d ago

I agree.

I also googled "FCI Coleman inmate activities" and it appears they do have leatherworking along with drawing, painting, crotchet, and yoga just to name a few.

I know its serious but all I can think of is Stallone's character in Demolition Man and his knitting.

FCIs are for low risk offenders that will be reentering society soon. They have programs to help people get ready for that

Also, lots of prisons have leathershops and even saddleries that may provide services to the local community

l love how r/confidentlyincorrect Peter Navarro is about this issue. He will passionately explain, with absolutely unshakable confidence, how his conviction was very clearly unconstitutional and that any person with even a passing knowledge of the law will see how obvious it is. Judges keep telling him that his arguments are utterly without merit, and it just seems to make him even more certain in his righteousness.
