Former Donald Trump adviser Peter Navarro has been out of prison for more than one month now, but hes having a hard time readjusting to public life. Navarro hosted fellow ex-con Steve Bannons Real Americas Voice show on Monday, and took the opportunity to relay a whiny story about a middle-aged, chubby housewife who was mean to him while they were getting off of a plane.
"We're blocked from getting out because there's people ahead of us, Navarro recounted. So when she thinks that there's enough people between us that she can somehow get away out the door, she screams at me, 'Go back to prison.'"
"What's my point? he continued. If a middle-aged, middle-class housewife thinks that she has the right or the license to speak that way to other people in public, and wants to take my freedom away from meanybody in this country now thinks they can say anything the hell they want to anybody, anywhere."
It wouldnt be a true MAGA sob story without ginning up a persecution complex, so Navarro proceeded to claim that Manhattan juries are made up of "scumbag Democrats" and complain that he and fellow convicts Trump and Bannon have been victimized and are now targets for violence.

MAGAs are an oppressed minority?

(14,785 posts)Thinks he has the rights or the license to make laws that take away a housewife's freedom to save her life when a pregnancy goes horribly wrong, they can push for all her other freedoms to be taken away.
That piece of shit needs to think about what he says.

(53,909 posts)to have the world be as they wish it would be, and no one is allowed to disagree.
Obviously, anyone saying something negative to he thinks is a violation of his right to no consequences for his actions and a world of no worse than neutral feedback.
But it's more than that. They think immigrants are "illegal" if they are non-white. Notice they really aren't bothered by someone from Norway who overstays their visa or Canadians walking the border.
The voter fraud they keep talking about? It's non-white voters. They think they're not legitimate based on race and such. Which is why they don't care that there's no hard "evidence". The demographics is all the "evidence" they need.
Think of everything in their twisted world of privilege and hierarchy and their crap makes perfect sense.
It also explains why they're always so angry. The world refuses to conform to their view that they get all the fun and rights and the rest of us are relegated to second class or worse status.

Poor things. We really need to step up our attention to mental health in this country.

(15,970 posts)bullies are weak human beings the weakest in fact. They dish out what they themselves cannot handle on a routine basis. It strikes me as being the foundational basis for projection.

(22,692 posts)Is it worse for a housewife to talk like that or for the President of the United States to talk like that?
At least this woman knows there is plenty of evidence of your criminality, while Your Favorite President wants to lock up everyone, from his political opponents to newspeople who ask him questions he doesn't like.

(798 posts)Well sorry, Mr Navarro people do indeed have the right to say what she said.
What she said was also low-class, done in a cowardly manner, and probably shows poor impulse control. Reflects poorly on our side.

Has he read Project 2025?!

(7,428 posts)Apparently the "rehabilitation" aspect of prison isn't working. I think it's because so much energy is spent on the "punishment" part. In fact, I'm thinking there are too few individuals employed by the prison system who could spell "rehabilitation" (even without the quotation marks).
