Peter Navarro ordered to report to prison next week. Justice was too long delayed on this and the sentence is half what I had hoped, but still one can feel a little schadenfreude from this.
Peter Navarro ordered to prison on March 19 for four-month sentence (msn.com)
It’s like buying a large order of fries, you get a small, and they aren’t even hot anymore. But dammit, you’re hungry so you eat them.
Yuck - horrible, stodgy, greasy, unpleasant, and guaranteed to upset your stomach. - and that’s just Peter Navarro.
I knew Mikey would eventually come through. Mark your calendars. Friday March 15 2024.
Charlie Brown. Lucy. Football.
I’ll always remember Peter Navarro as the adviser in the Trump administration who ridiculed Canada’s sacrifices in Afghanistan, saying they were only there to suck up to the US. He is a piece of shit excuse for a human being, like most of Trump’s sycophants and Trump himself.
I love how the orange man-child just cannot shut his pie-hole. This might turn out to be fun … 
Just heard about this last night and was wondering if this would lead to another judgment.
Please? Pretty Please?
I briefly considered making some sort of joke about Trump not being able to control himself but I just don’t know what to say anymore. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, if somebody wrote down the last 10 years of politics in this country and submitted it as a book or a movie it would be rejected as being too farfetched.
He managed not to defame her for several weeks following the judgement. Is it a coincidence that he launches back into defaming her again within hours of posting a $91 M bond preventing her attorneys from seizing his assets while his appeal is pending?
He’s probably certain that he’ll “win” the case on appeal, so Chubb won’t have to seize any of his properties or pay Carroll a dime. And, since in his brain he’s already won, he’s free to say whatever the fuck he wants again.
Who says “opposites attract”?

I don’t believe Trump is so far gone as to think he’s going to win on appeal. It seems fairly obvious that Trump has no intention of winning any of his cases. He’s on a sucide run. Either he’s going to be elected the next president of the United States, which he belives will shield him from all his troubles, or he’s going to crash and burn spectacularly.
He’s going to crash and burn either way. Even if he’s reelected and maybe somewhat protected from the worst of his legal judgements as a sitting President, a second trump administration is going to be an epic shit show.
So it’s a question of…does he crash and burn on his own as a private citizen, or take down the country with him?
At the risk of getting into Trump’s brain (such as it is) … now that Chubb has covered the financial burden of the appeal, he’s won, because he doesn’t have to worry about it now. And now is all he cares about, so he can go back to saying whatever he wants. Once he wins re-election (and it’s incomprehensible to him that he won’t) the problem will go away forever.
I’ll take… Option A.
I think this is accurate. Trump has never cared about winning cases, really. His tactic has always been delay and attrition culminating in settlements with no blame assigned and, preferably, paid using somebody else’s money.
Today’s news cycle is all about how his people are cleaning house at the RNC. That means an avenue for using their money to foot his legal fees.
He doesn’t care if he loses the cases. He loses cases all the time. The only important thing, to him, is that the losses don’t get in the way of him doing whatever he wants whenever he wants.
And despite everything else, he’s still mostly doing that and will be able to continue for the foreseeable future.
He has his undocumented immigrant servants from Mar-a-Lago cleaning the RNC? (sorry, that’s what it initially sounded like to me).
I doubt he considers them to qualify as people.
It’s also good practice for when he takes over as president again, if the worst should happen. Last time, he had done no prep work at all, and it showed. This time, he’ll have a little list all ready to go Day One, of who is to be fired immediately. Taking over the RNC is just the dress rehearsal.
I agree with this. I’m convinced he believes the rest of his existence comes down to this one last desperate roll of the dice. He’s certainly acting that way. I don’t think he’d be wrong either.
Someone with nothing to lose and everything to gain makes him all the more dangerous.
