Donald Trump’s Mob Rule: Why the MAGA movement loves Mafiosi.
The New York Times ^ | Jun 07, 2024 09:05 AM | Michelle Goldberg

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...

I may not be looking hard enough, but I don’t see one woman in that mass of invaders.

Mob rule? What was "Hope and Change?"

Obama:

They're going to try to scare people. They're going to try to say that 'that Obama is a scary guy.' If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I've seen Eagles fans.

“all they do is project their own ideology onto conservatives”
That’s the reason they’re so detailed in their explanations. They would be totally incapabale of explaining the real MAGA movement. They must think if they destroy Trump, it will fade away. Boy are they in for a surprise.

The entire Democrat Party & the RINO faction of the Uni-party are the largest most vicious Mafia to ever exist in this nation, and Joe Bribhim thinks he is currently the sitting Don and Hunter Bribhim is Fredo. But Obama is the real sitting Don.

One must question whether or not the NYT’s “reporters” are capable of passing even the most elementary IQ test. Their demonstrated lack of logic and knowledge of history qualify them as being in the only job worthy of their ‘talent’: journalist for a formerly respected newspaper and failing newspaper.

I do not believe the Biden administration is the least bit concerned about the atrocities they are encouraging.

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

Right after Eric Holder serves his.

Ah, but you see ‘contempt of Congress’ is a nuanced crime. It all depends on who shows contempt and which party controls the Department of Justice.

Republicans who ignore a subpoena from a democrat committee and a democrat runs the DOJ, they will be prosecuted. And since the crime occurred in D.C., they will convicted.

A democrat who ignores a subpoena from a Republican committee and a democrat runs the DOJ, there will be no prosecution.

So to answer your question, Garland will to decline to prosecute himself, just as Eric Holder declined to prosecute himself.

It’s all really simple really.

Is that the same facility where Eric Holder served his time? Oh, wait a second...
