I can’t decide who’s a greater danger to Democracy, Steve Bannon or Roger Stone. Could we please just lock them both up with no internet privileges?

Please add Stephen Miller to your group. He gives me cold chills.

He has dead eyes too. I can’t look at him without shuddering.

I agree, his expressionless face, and what you call the “dead eyes,” make him look like a vampire. It’s like there’s no soul or animation behind the deadpan face.

Steve Bannon is a disgusting POS absolutely disgusting no redeeming qualities whatsoever

He's back in DT's orbit, too. Nothing but bad can come from That. DT has the desire for criminal activity but doesn't have the knowledge to think them up or plan them out.

I like the idea of Rikers for both Bannon and Stone. In fact, throwing Trump and his cronies into prison for the remainder of the election season would do the country a lot of good. That includes all of the members of Congress and their staff that ignored subpoenas to testify before the January 6 Committee, and/or who were involved in the insurrection. Good bye MTG, Kevin McCarthy is already gone, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Madison Cawthorne, Louie Gohmert, Andy Biggs and Mo Brooks. Immunity in some places should not be blanket.

The State of New York seems to be pretty good at dusting off and using laws when things fall through (or pardoned through) the federal cracks.

As nasty as a reputation Rikers has, I say ship the whole bunch upstate to Attica and throw away the key.

Rikers is a NYC facility. As much as Bannon and his henchmen deserve to suffer, they will probably not go there. If convicted of state charges he'll be sent to one of the 44 NY State prisons. For the Federal charges there are a dozen Federal prisons within a couple of hours of NYC. Alas, Bannon will probably be assigned to an institution for white-collar convicts.

Also add John Eastman

Jason Miller. Quietly behind the scenes fueling racist policy and propaganda.

You can add Steve Miller to the list and maybe Betsy DeVos as well

Thanks for this update. Best headline I've seen in a long time. It's been a thorn in my craw for a long time that he keeps running his appropriately named and self-incriminating insurrection broadcast "War Room" as if there's nothing to worry about. It's amazing how these guys keep digging in their heels no matter how much legal poo they're in.

"It wouldn’t be a MAGA criminal case if the lawyers didn’t get stiffed out of their money at some point." Maybe Ginnie Thomas can lend him some coin.

I’m sure Ginny has the funds since she and Clarence saved big with their gifted RV

I dunno - that thing is expensive to operate and maintain. Diesel is a dollar more than unleaded. Tuneups and oil changes are a lot; then there are tires and shocks - and you don't want to know how much a brake job costs on one of those monsters.

But they save big on overnight campground charges by parking for free along the edge of a Walmart parking lot. Most Walmarts allow that as long as someone doesn’t set up camp and stay after breakfast time.

A year or two ago, our local paper (Oro Valley AZ) shared that someone famous was a new town resident, even sharing the address. So - Bannon lives a mile from me. I would LOVE to see him perp-walked out of his mini-mansion some fine morning in his sleeping shorts. (On second thought, maybe not ...) 👍🏼 He deserves all the pain and grief he’s seeded over the years. What a sorry excuse for a human being.

Game of Thrones style, although there would not be the crowd. Everyone would hide in their homes and lock their doors.

As Trump left the courtroom after his testimony, he was shaking his head, repeatedly saying: “This is not America. This is not America. This is not America.”--for Mr. Bannon and Mr. Trump, they are discovering for apparently the first time, there is a rule of law in America and it is used to hold people accountable when the break or violate the law. Yes, in America, there is a legal system that should be applied whether you are a TV reality show personality, a radio/podcaster, rich, poor, etc.

I’d say for us normal people out here, seeing these criminals brought to justice, hearing Judge Kaplan put the rule of Law to Trump and Habba, felt more like the America we know and love. 🇺🇸✨

#ETTD How fitting that Steve is up for Karma's revenge. I had wondered what was happening to this insidious jerk. Thanks for the update. 💙✌️

I will cheer on the day he goes to prison, but I have yet to see any of these people locked up. Hope springs eternal!

A few have already been to prison. Michael Cohen spent two years in prison. Trump's accountant Allen Weisselberg spent a few months in prison, and IIRC is still facing more charges. And just yesterday, Peter Navarro was convicted, although that's under appeal.

think you would have to add a few more to the despicable douche bag asshat list to include those in congress that helped with the insurrection like Margarine Traitor Gangrene, Boobart , Gym Jordan , Comer , Gaetz , nazi Stephen Miller and those in the Supreme Court ! All of them need to be held accountable for their actions! It's amazing that there are so many that are ruining their lives over the mango moron !!

You are forgetting the figures in the shadow who run the Heritage Foundation. Sometimes it feels overwhelming when looking how many people are trying to dismantle this country and doing it in an organized manner.

What I would do if I were Jack Smith.

o Try TFG first by himself. He will be the hardest nut to crack. Once found guilty, then

o With election fraud established go after the small fry. The above named <expletive deleted>.

But the statute of limitations is creeping along.

Do you really think Smith and his team have been twiddling their thumbs while the trial is stayed?

Expand full comment

Well, Jack Smith has charged TFG by himself. Re Statute of Limitations, I can't imagine it applies once charges have been filed. However, said Statute -depending the time after which it would apply - could allow some other people who should be charged to avoid being charged.

Can anyone here explain the time frame for applying a Statute of Limitations for the types of crimes in question here, particularly for the "unnamed co-conspirators" listed by Jack Smith?

Three Shirts Bannon and Agent Orange sounding more unhinged every day. Fear and obvious guilt can do that to snake oil salesmen.

Well, that helps explain why Navarro was sentenced only 4 months. I had been hoping for the minimum of 6 months.

Expand full comment

I was hoping for the maximum. It’s only a year. Why they didn’t ask for the max given the subject matter and environment around the subpeona, I don’t know. I think sentences for these traitors have been too light across the board! It pisses me off!

Kraken lady walks free… people like Navarro getting months rather than years. And many not even charged.

The DOJ is so damn worried about looking biased they are treating the greatest crime our country has ever known like… just something typical .

They should hit these people so hard we never hear a word from any of them again. Ever. IMO.

Don’t any of these Fascist extremists ever think of the old adage, “you do the crime, you do the time”? Do they all really believe they are invincible and they will skate through life? I mean if you are a petty thief that no one has ever heard of, and who barely manages to steal $20 at a time, the chances are good no one will bother with you, unless caught red handed, but when your name is in the media everyday, and everyone knows who you are, and what you have done that entailed millions of purloined funds, the chances of those consequences reaching up and smacking you hard upside the head with a 2x4 are pretty good!

Bannon is such a supercilious slimeball—so many are waiting to see him slip in his own s__t. Okay that’s about all the “s” words I can come up with at the moment. But please, let’s do see him in jail soon. What a creep.

Thank you, Jay. Glad to be a subscriber.

Even a pretty inept collection attorney should be able to find and attach Bannon’s Seinfeld royalties. Perhaps they already have which could explain Bannon’s case of the shorts.
