Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

4 months in club fed after after staging a coup and ignoring congressional subpoenas? Seems like an amazing deal.
I was curious about where exactly Navarro is doing his time. I learned he's in Mt. Pleasant Correctional Facility in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. I wasn't able to find out too much about whether it's a good prison or bad prison or whatever. From the satellite photo, it doesn't look all that terrible, although I'm sure it's not fun.
While searching for that though, I did find out some things about FCI Miami where I think he originally reported and FDC Miami. Respectively:
Why you gotta mess with the prisoners like that (although that honestly is pretty funny)
What the fuck
The first one was probably trying to get them to try to escape in order to charge them with more crimes, because ACAB. And the second is plain-ole misogyny.
I was all set to say well, I don't think it's necessarily wrong, if the FBI and the prison officials are keeping two criminals in the prison; that is their job even if it clearly seemed that they were having a little fun with this one. But... that was before I looked up what they were in for:
15 years for cocaine
That's most of your adult life
And now it's up to 25
☹️
It's natural to try to escape prison and that shouldn't be a crime. As long as no one is injured in the process. Police tricking people into committing more crimes to lock them up longer, or just messing with them with the helicopter is just cruelty. ACAB.
