Oh you sweet contract "negotiation" child

They'll replace you with a pajeet or some other shitskin when you tell them fuck no I reject your 20% cut for my next salary offer. They'll pay the shitskin 30% less and you won't be getting a paycut of 20%, you'll be getting a paycut of 100%

That's the beauty of working for a small company. I'm a big fish in a small pond, and what they've invested in me cannot be easily replaced by some 'jeet.

Cuck Roberts strikes again.
Navarro’s bid to stave off jail sentence denied at Supreme Court
His sentence is set to begin Tuesday.

By KYLE CHENEY and JOSH GERSTEIN

Peter Navarro, a former trade adviser in Donald Trump’s White House, appears to be heading to jail.

Chief Justice John Roberts on Monday turned down Navarro’s emergency motion to stave off his imminent jail sentence — set to begin Tuesday at 2 p.m. in a Miami federal prison — for his defiance of a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee two years ago.

Navarro, 74, was convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress last fall for refusing to provide testimony or documents to the congressional investigators probing Trump’s bid to subvert the 2020 election. He’s the first member of Trump’s White House to face imminent jail time over events stemming from the 2020 vote.

Navarro’s emergency application to head off his four-month jail term was directed to Chief Justice John Roberts, who serves as circuit justice for the D.C. Circuit and oversees the Washington, D.C. court where the former Trump trade adviser was charged and tried.

Departing from the practice in most serious or high-profile legal fights, Roberts ruled on Navarro’s request himself, without referring it to the full court. The chief justice noted that a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals panel found that Navarro failed to raise several challenges to the fairness of his conviction when he first sought to remain free pending appeal.

“I see no basis to disagree with the determination that Navarro forfeited those arguments in the release proceeding, which is distinct from his pending appeal on the merits,” Roberts wrote in his one-page order, emphasizing that the door remains open to the ex-Trump aide to challenge his convictions themselves.

Peter Navarro arrives for sentencing after contempt of Congress conviction

An attorney for Navarro declined to comment on the chief justice’s ruling.

The House select committee subpoenaed Navarro in early 2022, and he quickly turned down its demand, claiming that Trump’s “executive privilege” barred him from cooperating. The committee emphasized that it had asked him about many subjects not related directly to his conversations with Trump and that could not conceivably be subject to executive privilege. But Navarro still refused to appear or turn over records.

The House held Navarro in contempt in April 2022 and the Justice Department followed suit with a two-count, misdemeanor indictment weeks later.

Though he’s still set to be the first to go to prison, Navarro is actually the second Trump adviser convicted of contempt of Congress for defying the Jan. 6 committee. Steve Bannon was convicted of two contempt charges in July 2022, but the judge in his case, Carl Nichols, agreed to let him remain free while he appeals his convictions.

But Navarro’s judge, Amit Mehta, rejected Navarro’s effort to remain out of prison, noting that Navarro had presented no evidence that Trump actually invoked executive privilege — and that even if Trump had, it wouldn’t have overcome Congress’ need for Navarro’s information. As Roberts pointed out, last week, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Mehta’s decision and offered a long list of its own reasons.

Navarro and Bannon worked on a 2020 strategy they dubbed the “Green Bay sweep,” a plan to orchestrate congressional challenges to Joe Biden’s presidential electors on Jan. 6, 2021, the day the House and Senate met to certify the 2020 election results.

Navarro also authored a three-part report making largely discredited claims of election fraud, one installment of which Trump cited in a now-infamous tweet urging supporters to descend on Washington for a “wild” protest on Jan. 6.

"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."

Strong black woman being an idiot at first amendment case in SCOTUS today:

View attachment 5827898

But it seems like from what people are saying in the courtroom, it will be a majority opinion that the government can tell a private company what to censor as long as they aren't flat out threatening them, which is ridiculous. That is a true form of fascism, where the company aligns with the faggots in power to do their bidding.

I'm very interested in the impression of any experienced lawyers here regarding the supreme court orals.

Listening to them on my part made me depressed enough to want to 41%.
It was un-fucking-believable what I was hearing from half the "conservative" bench and the lack of knowledge of the facts of the case, which are appallingly black and white as to Bantam Books.

3 members of the conservative bench were there quibbling over whether a literal ministry of truth has a right to exist if they make "requests" to private co-conspirators to silence 78 million americans, and they were doing so with genuine belief rather than disdain.

the old stereotype of newsmen, before the modern "whatever wire sends" bullshits, was that they drank CONSTANTLY
once upon a time local news joint sent the n00b to be in the courtroom for Zimmerman
we'd occasionally troll him like texting him "dude you're on camera, totally dare you to not smile : D"
then he brought up how basically all the seasoned news guys in the room were either openly alcoholic or twelve stepping, and back at HQ we're like "lol yeah, you'll learn"

It is not measurable how sick I am of my side being "principled". Like the other side will argue however the need to for whatever outcome. There's a point at which you just say "no, fuck you"

This guy gets it. The number one deathbed regret is that they worked too much and didn’t see their family enough. A major corporation is a bank to be robbed. Do as little work possible to not get fired and demand as much money as you can get away with.

My only criticism would be that I’d like to see carve-outs for small businesses. If you make less than a million dollars in profit a year, I’m fine with you being exempt from this rule. But fuck the mega-corpos man, I support any and all legislation that’s a thorn in their side.

I wouldn't go *that* far. I have no problem getting paid to provide my services. But at the end of the day, it's strictly transactional. You shouldn't be a "company man", or Heaven forbid, call your workplace "family".

The only thing about my job that truly grinds my gears is being interrupted or delayed because of things that are not my concern. Let me do my job and don't bother me.

Anytime you’re tempted to feel bad for screwing over a major corporation, remember that the people run it almost certainly hate you and want you dead. I never narc or Karen on loafing employees. They’re doing the lord’s work.

Reminds me of the ongoing case of Charlie Javice, who allegedly defrauded J.P. Morgan.

Like, what's the problem here? J.P. Morgan is the real reason the US entered WW1 (he had financial ties to Britain). Those cocksuckers deserve to get ripped off.

(I know, it's to make an example of someone who out-Jewed them at their own game).
