Living in Arizona I’m getting a lot of those and I approve – it’s five bucks that won’t go into Masters’ campaign coffers. ---

> [@Railer13](#): > > Bannon gets four months in prison. That seems about right to me. Enough time to serve as a deterrence to others. Each subsequent asshole in contempt should get a bit more, until this madness stops. It’s not complicated, you have to comply with subpoenas or go to court to complain. You cannot simply ignore them, even if you’re unhappy about it. ---

We know that Bannon likes to wear multiple shirts with multiple popped collars, but why does he also need to walk around with three identical pens at the ready? Does he risk running out of ink in not one, but two pens and needs a third so not to disappoint his adoring fans clamoring for autographs? What a douche.

You might’ve cracked the multiple pen question…not let’s get to the multiple “exterior” shirt wearing. Is that padding in case the pens fail him? ---

They will want his rabble-rousing skills at the ready. At least, schadenfreude-wise, he WILL be on the hook for substantial legal fees during the appeals process.
