Today's Tiedrich rant: Peter Navarro is having a shitty time in prison. boo fucking hoo
Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/peter-navarro-is-having-a-shitty
pour one out for Peter Navarro, the poster boy for the mediocre entitled white male dipshit. Pete’s having the saddest of sads right now, because he’s currently in prison, and guess what: prison fucking suuuuuuuuucks.
it’s only been 16 days, but already Pete’s been whining to all who will listen. the food sucks. the cell sucks. the guards suck. all the other inmates suck. the lack of privacy sucks. waking up at 4am sucks. having no control over your life sucks. it’s not fair!
.... Big Sad Pete’s gone running to the Supreme Court and he’s asking his pal Neil Gorsuch to issue him a Get-Out-Of-Contempt-Of-Congress-Free Card, pronto.
isn’t that nice? Dr. Peter K. Navarro wants you to know that just because he showed up for prison on time and was a very good boy for fifteen days, he should get a participation trophy, a pat on the head, and be sent merrily on his way.

Tuesday’s petition for reconsideration was submitted by Navarro’s lawyers, Stan M. Brand and Stanley E. Woodward, Jr., stating: “Dr. Peter K. Navarro self-surrendered to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons on March 19, 2024 and has now served fifteen (15) days of his four (4) month sentence. Of note, on March 26, 2024, the D.C. Circuit set a briefing schedule in his appeal, providing that briefing will not be concluded until July 19, 2024, after he is scheduled to have served the entirety of his prison sentence. Accordingly, we respectfully request your reconsideration of the Chief Justice’s denial.”

So yeah, Tiedrich makes the point that all Navarro had to do was show up for the Congressional subpoena back in 2022. That's what this is all about. Why should the Supreme Court (including Justice Gorsuch) even listen to Navarro now?
This is a great rant today! Worth a click to read the rest on Tiedrich's blog.
