From this article on former Trump White House aide Peter Navarro:
(Navarro) has been ordered to report to a Miami prison on March 19 to begin serving a four month sentence for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee.
Navarro, who is urging a federal appeals court to stay the sentence while he attempts to overturn his conviction, faces the prospect of becoming the first top adviser to Donald Trump to serve jail time for an offense related to the effort to subvert the 2020 election.
It’s easy to see why a person of Navarro’s stature would thumb his nose at the criminal justice system when it comes to the prosecution of Trump and his top people post their attempts to overthrow the U.S. government following Trump’s loss in the 2020 election. After all, what’s Steve Bannon doing just now? He’s a convicted felon whose crime was nearly identical to Navarro’s, and Bannon’s out there planning how to re-install Trump into the presidency.
Somewhere, there must be someone who actually profited from his association with Trump, though we’ve yet to meet him.
It’s easy to blame Trump for his lies and criminality.
It’s harder to accept the fact that many of the people of the United States are willing believe essentially anything, regardless of how preposterous, that comes out of the president’s mouth.
The Republicans seem to have coalesced around the anti-communism/socialism narrative, setting aside all other messaging re: the economy, affordable groceries and gasoline, jobs, allowing Iran to build a nuclear weapon, etc.
We’ll have to wait and see how this plays out.
In a nation that has, to a large degree, lost its ability to think, it’s possible that voters, especially the most unintelligent among them, can be convinced that the Democrats are leading the United States in the direction of China, North Korea, or the former Soviet Union.
I encourage readers to check out this tongue-in-cheek ad for plant-based meat.
There is a maxim in marketing warning against “promoting the enemy line,” this is so clever, I can see where it could be quite effective.
