This week, Breitbart interviewed the former Trump official Peter Navarro, one of many criminals in the ex-president’s orbit, from the Miami prison where he is serving four months for contempt of Congress. While life behind bars is difficult, Navarro boasted that his stint has been smoothed by his ties to Donald Trump, which make him something of a made man. The former president, said Navarro, is beloved not just by the guards, but by the “vast majority” of inmates as well. “If I were a Bidenite, things would be a lot tougher here — and yes, they know exactly who I am and respect the fact that I stood up for a principle and didn’t bow to the government,” he said.

One of the more unsettling things about our politics right now is the Republican Party’s increasingly open embrace of lawlessness. Even as they proclaim Trump’s innocence, Trump and his allies revel in the frisson of criminality. At his rally in the Bronx last month, for example, Trump invited onto the stage two rappers, Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, who are currently facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder and weapons possession. (They’ve pleaded not guilty.) During Trump’s recent criminal trial, his courtroom entourage included Chuck Zito, who helped found the New York chapter of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang and spent six years in prison on drug conspiracy charges. (The Justice Department has linked his Hells Angels chapter to the Gambino crime family.) Trump, who has his own history of mafia ties, has repeatedly compared himself to Al Capone. MAGA merchants sell T-shirts — and, weirdly, hot sauce — showing Trump as either Vito or Michael Corleone from “The Godfather” movies, with the caption...

The Times is what the barf alert was invented for.

Exactly, that’s all they do is project their own ideology onto conservatives.

Liberals had their talking points planned out already for Trump’s guilty verdict but there has been little to no change in the poll (if anything it helped Trump and he raised a lot of money off it). I think it’s time for Biden Cultists to move on to a new plan of attack , this is rather pathetic

Every Democrat accusation is actually a confession.

Biden's AG Merrick Garland is in contempt of Congress right now - when does his prison sentence start?

I thought we loved Hitler? And Putin. And Jesus. And the KKK. And unborn babies. And those dressed-up FBI white-supremacists.

What's the narrative for today?

As Biden and company are throwing political opponents in jail-—going after grand moms praying at abortion clinics, going after parents at schoolboard meetings, sexualizing children, supporting Hamas, etc.....
The constant barrage of lies has gone way too far.

When did the Ny slimes start doing comedy. Viewership must be at an all time low if they are this desperate.

Donald Trump is threat to democracy, loves organized crime, and spends his time away from the limelight torturing soft, furry, cuddly puppies! And I’m sure there is more that is probably even worse!

Be careful, the Godfather movies and the The Soprano’s shows were wildly popular.
