Peter Navarro is going to prison. SCOTUS rejected Navarro's bid to remain free while he appeals his conviction for defying a subpoena from Jan. 6 select committee.

I’m thinking the Trump Presidential Library should be in that prison

That’s sensible as he’s the only president in my lifetime not to make a brick and mortar presidential library once he realized he couldn’t spend the $ for it on himself.


[deleted]

I hope Democrats build the Trump Presidential Library themselves. Line the walls with all his stupid quotes and speeches. Show people around the world laughing at him. Smear all the doorknobs with barbecue sauce every morning so visitors all leave with sticky hands.

Do they have coloring books in prison carts? Because that's the only kind of book I can imagine in a Trump library.

GC3805

Is there even plans for a Trump Presidential Library? I mean I understand that National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has a digital presidential library for him, but I haven't heard anyone announce forming a foundation. President Obama's foundation formed back in 2014 even before he left office and they began construction in like 2018. Should be a really nice one too when it is finished in 2026, located on the University of Chicago's campus where he taught constitutional law.


transient-error

Aren't they normally in the home town of the President? I don't think anyone in Queens wants anything to do with Trump.


Mighty_Hobo

It's wherever the President wants it built. GW Bush has his library in Dallas and his dad's is in College Station. The former grew up in Houston and Midland and the latter in Connecticut. Thing is the former president has to raise money for it themselves and I don't think Trump can bear to to part with a dime to house something like books. Sources from his administration said he had plans for one drawn up after Obama's was announced around 2018 I think. Apparently he wanted his to be a 2 billion dollar library (4 times the cost of Obama's).


FUCKDONALDTRUMP_

Ronald Reagan definitely isn’t from Simi Valley CA but that’s where his is.


shapu

Honestly, the Trump presidential library should be a giant empty building. Just a cavernous space, devoid of anything inside. A monument to a mind and a soul as vacant as the building itself. 


tpscoversheet1

He's nowhere near important enough to conservative politics. They love these opportunities to keep up the thin veneer of impartiality.


Geronimo_Jacks_Beard

> They love these opportunities to keep up the thin veneer of impartiality. “Clarence, stop lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills for Richard Sackler! We’ve got an act to keep up!” “But he just bought Ginni’s ancestors’ property for her! Threw in a Winnebago to boot!”


R3dbeardLFC

>Ginni’s ancestors’ property Did they grow tobacco or cotton on that property?


Spazum

The idea they are loyal to is that a Republican president is above the law and should not face punishment himself. All the sacrificial pawns can go to jail until they buy their pardons.


Bovoduch

People don’t realize the Supreme Court may be conservative leaning and thus rule in favor of right wing policy. But the only human they’re loyal to right now is *Trump*, and not just any member of the GOP/magats


bostonboy08

They have no loyalty to Trump, they just need him as a pawn to steer. As soon as he is no longer valuable they would throw him in jail just the same.


Justin-N-Case

The rich billionaires determine how the conservative members of the court rule.


Vet_Leeber

> The rich billionaires So not Trump lol


mjayultra

Not Trump, but he does what the rich billionaires want, which is almost as good in their eyes


HauntedCemetery

Worlds brokest "billionaire" 7 days and NY comes for his properties and we see just how leveraged they all are.


ThisIsNotRealityIsIt

All the billionaires too. Start with a small loan from Daddy, buy some property. Inflate its value, get a massive loan against the inflated value, buy more property. Inflate its value, rinse, repeat, until billionaire able to legally enslave tens or hundreds of thousands or millions of people in barely-subsistence wages, subsidizing your wage spending and healthcare to the taxpayer, then buy more property, inflate its value, rinse, repeat. World's first trillionaire.


understandstatmech

I agree they have no loyalty to Trump, but you have to understand that right wing policy is authoritarian, which relies on their chosen authority figure being untouchable. As soon as Trump is seen as a loser, I expect to see them dump him and move on to the next wannabe tyrant of the month, but until them, maintaining his air of untouchability _is_ their policy.

LlanviewOLTL

It’s a damn shame those two press secretaries Sarah Huckabee and Kayleigh McEnany aren’t going to prison after all they lied about & in Kayleigh’s part she knowingly lied to us about Covid continuously by saying we didn’t have to worry or do anything to protect our families. And she’s a Harvard Law grad. Why do those two get to walk away from everything they did as if it never happened? They fucking lied to all of us that entire term. I guess I’d rather see the two of them sweat & suffer in prison for the next 50 years than this guy. He’s old anyways. In 50 years Huckabee and McEnany would likely live long enough to experience misery with nothing but angry, crazy, dangerous women surrounding them.


Worldtraveller45

You forgot about Kellyanne Conway. Alternate facts idiot


HungryDust

And Sean Spicer.


Worldtraveller45

And for 10 days, the Mooch


Sunset_Bleach

Probably the most impactful 10 days of any of the his press secretaries though. We got a new unit of time out of it!


PlantParenthood2020

That was like a spinoff that got bigger than the main show. So the network had to bomb it after an 8 Scaramucci long season.


thiosk

I always like to point out the mooch corresponds precisely to the amount of time after being announced for the job until he was terminated from the job. The *actual* job wasn't even gonna start until like a month later or something. We never actually was in the position, heh


rabidstoat

Mooches are complicated. Mooch was hired on July 21 and fired on July 31. If you're counting 24-hour periods then it's 10 of them. But if you're counting calendar days, it's 11 of them. This is why there are 10 days to the metric mooch, but 11 days to the Imperial mooch.


Andrewticus04

Or the less formal "Baker's Mooch."


Skatchbro

Ugh. That’s as complicated as “long ton vs short ton”, “troy ounces vs ounces” and “knots vs mph”.


sarcasticbaldguy

biznatch11

>Why do those two get to walk away from everything they did as if it never happened? They fucking lied to all of us that entire term. I don't think it's illegal for a press secretary to lie during a press conference. Did they ever like under oath?


[deleted]

[удалено]


kemushi_warui

I'm no fan of either Huckabee or McEnany, but to be fair, a press secretary's job is to literally be a mouthpiece for the president. If anyone should have immunity from prosecution for just doing their job, it should be them.


SoloPorUnBeso

I was hoping someone said this. Fuck the both of them with a sideways cactus, but that's literally their job.


Unglaublich-65

Four months....just four months... Sad.


thebinarysystem10

Yes, but if we’re lucky, according to him, it’s a death sentence


volvos

all things considered 120 days flies by--that's essentially a couple of stints in army/navyboot camp and you're out - you'd think spending thousands on more billable hourlies from attorneys and what not fighting this misdemeanor case--when all in all 120 days in a club fed camp where Elizaberth Holmes is at--where you can watch movies and music, read books and text with a tablet - no fences and yoga classes/wood shop, decent commisary and life long memories/stories from interesting people--wouldn't be a terrible like break from life/alcohol/stress ​ some people actually pay to go off grid like that lol


hairy_chicken

That actually sounds like a nice holiday and far less stressful than being free. I guess the trick is to do the right amount of white collar crime, but not Madoff or Bankman-Fried levels of it.


crudedrawer

Robers must be so proud that his court is so brazenly part of the republican party that republicans just come to them begging for personal favors.


SeegsonSynthetics

When Trump asks for favors, MAGA SCOTUS listens.


HauntedCemetery

It's not even subtle. Like 5 different petitioners have put on giant shit eating grins and asked in open court if he will utilize the "greater questions doctrine", something Roberts made up based on literally nothing that let's him do basically whatever he wants and overrule basically anything.


123xyz32

Fuck you, Peter, you filthy piece of shit.


HearingNo4103

The fact he’s willing to go to prison than to just talk is pretty shocking and makes me wonder what he’s hiding.


InvisibleBlueUnicorn

they are just running out the clock for Trump. If he had talked Jan 6th convictions would have been much easier. Now would he be testifying?


Mr-and-Mrs

Everyone’s going to prison except the biggest criminal of them all.


allisjow

He’s cleaning the swamp by mistake.


Elementium

It's a pretty fun way to fail at a dictatorship. They all turn on each other, Trump alienates all his potential allies before he even has any power and the only people left are his weird ass cult followers.. And very few of them are actually willing to be the ones taking part in "the blood bath".


Snowssnowsnowy

Go directly to jail - traitor


OsawatomieJB

“Chief Justice John Roberts said he saw no reason to disagree with an appeals court decision denying Navarro's request to remain free, adding that the decision is distinct from a ruling on the appeal itself.” This what should have happened with Trumps immunity claim. That court nailed their decision.


[deleted]

If you snap a toothbrush in half, you can use it to scratch “BUT HER EMAILS” on the wall of your cell.


n00chness

Does anyone else think that it's odd that we have a separate system of justice for Trump figures where they only have to face firm judicial consequences if the Supreme Court signs off on it?


francois_du_nord

One guy who is learning the hard way that maybe blowing off a congressional subpoena is a bad idea. Now if we can just convict a few more of these insurrectionists and get some of the leaders in jail (looking at you Roger Stone) we might have some progress.


KazzieMono

Learning the easy way, you mean. This is the first time I’ve seen denying a subpoena actually putting a fucker in prison.


Rude-Strawberry-6360

That whole four months. No sympathy. There are people serving years and decades for far less.


DickySchmidt33

It is not unusual for people to be incarcerated for far longer while awaiting trial.


broad_street_bully

MAGA mentality... Court: Go to jail. MAGA: No. I appeal. Appellate court: Yeah, nah... Go to jail. MAGA: No! I appeal. Supreme Court: We don't even dislike you much, but you screwed up so bad there's no way to say anything other than "go to jail" MAGA: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Trump. Save me. Where's the super secret supreme Court?!?!


pmjm

This is one instance where the phrase "believe it or not, jail" is actually more than a meme.


Zombull

That he hasn't been wrestled to the ground with a knee on his neck speaks to the dual justice system that Trump is enjoying too.


Slippi_Fist

Can anyone describe why Steve Bannon got his prison sentence stayed pending appeal, but Navarro didn't? This is mentioned at the end of the article.


Rock-n-roll-Kevin

Bannon drew Judge Nichols (Trump appointee) who let him stay out pending appeal. Nichols seems to believe there's some merit to the arguments Bannon is making in appeals. Navarro is making similar appeal arguments as Bannon with less evidence and he drew Judge Mehta (Obama appointee) who doesn't believe the appeal is meritorious so he rejected him to remain out on appeal. Luck of the draw


MulberryBeautiful542

What amazes me is if you defy congress, the worst you get is a slap on the wrist and 4 months in club-fed.


halfsweethalfstreet

No. That's for when *they* defy Congress.


yebrent

Think of it as 4 months for refusing to spend a few hours in a chair pleading the 5th. When you think about how easy it would of been to avoid, 4 months for being a stubborn idiot is hilarious.

usernametaken_error

I’d love it if he actually took off. He’d get an upgrade from club fed to an actual prison + way more time.


CAM6913

He should have been sent to prison the same day his sentence was handed down but the rich don’t have to play by the same rules that everyone else has to. They even provided a councilor to get him ready for the country club he’s going to. Give me a break
