Peter Navarro Privileged, just Not Part of Executive Privilege

 This may get appealed to the Supreme Court, but your boy Peter Navarro's conviction for refusing to appear due to a subpoena was upheld in another ruling. I hear he has subpoenas envy.  He doesn't want to anser questions under oath about the whole January 6th riot and ensuing mess. He allegedly was the "mastermind" behind the plan to not certify Joe Biden's electoral victory.  He's already served his time of 4 months but he wants the conviction for contempt of congress overturned.  They should really re-name contempt of congress: plenty of folks find Congress contemptible.

J6 Cost 2.7Billion: Report

 You know how it's in vogue to say "no money for xxxxx cause until every homeless veteran is taken care of"?  How about we apply that same logic to J6er payouts: they have cost the good ole American taxpayer 2.7 Billion in damages to the grounds, additional law enforcement costs and costs for investigations.  Of course the balloon heads would have you believe that there was no need for an investigation into the riot of January 6th.  Divide 2.7 Billion by 1,270 or 1,600 or whatever number you want for those involved, and you get a pretty big number.  Much more than the typical $1000, give or take, that the average j6er got in a fine.  But they want restitution now.

Sad.

Forget the Proud Boys, let's investigate the NY Times and Georgia

This is confusing, but some of the Proud Boys had their sentences for seditious conspiracy dismissed. The executive branch decides who to prosecute, not the judges.

To understand what just happened with the Proud Boys convictions being tossed out, you have to look at it through the lens of pure, unadulterated American institutional mechanics. It is a story about the separation of powers, where the gears of the Constitution ground together, made a terrible screeching noise, and did exactly what they were designed to do even if it left the presiding judge looking like he’d just farted audibly in church when he thought he was just releasing a silent one.

 In the grand tradition of government machinery, the system worked exactly as written, even if the result feels entirely surreal. The executive branch used its constitutional muscle to decide a crime wasn’t a crime anymore, and the judiciary was forced to nod, tip its hat, and go back to its chambers to write a sternly worded essay about the fragility of democracy.

 As Judge Kelly darkly noted, if the American experiment is going to last another 250 years, the people not the courts are going to have to be the ones to defend it. Because when the Justice Department decides to walk away from a fight, the judge is just a man in a black robe holding a useless gavel.

 Not to mention, the FBI has far bigger fish to fry like the failing NY Times, the Reflecting Pool and Georgia Voting in November 2020. I'm sure they'll find their Alger Hiss at some minute scale. Not enough to have impacted anything, but enough to convince those who need only the slightest of convincing.

 

Pipe Bomber not part of J6 Pardons

 Come on, planting a few bombs outside the democratic and republican headquarters doesn't qualify one for the sweeping J6 pardons, they are reserved for people who stormed the Capitol looking for Mike Pence!  And assaulted police officers along the way with bear mace and various objects.  And of course defecated in the Capitol and tried to subvert democracy.  But the line is clear: not for the pipe bomber. There are rules here, people!  And we have ethics!  

Apparently Cole fell prey to the conspiracy theories of a stolen election, which of course the President sowed. 

I wonder if there is a parallel universe where the J6ers go into the reflecting pool and clean it dailt of algae blooms instead to maintain its beauty rather than riot in the Capitol.

BBC J6 Lawsuit: Discovery is a biotch

 Our current president is suing BBC for 10 Billion Dollars over selective editing of a speech, which the press does do to put our president in a bad light.  Which is odd, because there really isn't a need to as sunlight is the best disinfectant.  Just stick to the facts.  Plus, I thought he was a big fan of BBC.

Regardless, filing lawsuits, vexatious or not isn't really what I would think a tough guy would do.  But discovery is a biotch, I don't know if the legal team representing the president will want to turn over everything in discovery, I see a small undisclosed settlement.  Is that on Kalshi? Our Presidents lawyers are already complaining.

Can get arrested: Jake Lang reduced to holding provocative signs at BET Awards

 Jake Lang is trying to hang on to his 15 minutes of fame of being a pardoned rioter at the Jan 6 riots.  He is now reduced to holding offensive signs at the BET Awards and getting chased off/arrested.  I think that someone should come up with a MAGA Hollywood Squares Show, and he can fiitingly take Paul Lynn's Center Square.  Faux News, do you hear me? It would be a great great shoe.  Or maybe a different J6er can get unmasked at the end of the new and improved Scooby Doo Show.....Jake could say "and I would have succeeded if it weren't for you kids interested in the actual contents of our Constitution" Or something like that.  I guess nowadays a guest role on Big Brother or Naked and Afraid will have to do.

Anyway, Connie, I don't know what he does for money or how he earns his living, but tell him the answer is no.

I wonder if he can eat 50 eggs.
