> [@Railer13](#): > > A-hole deluxe Bannon ordered to prison. Only four months, but better than nothing. It may make you feel better to know he’s facing a criminal trial in Manhattan currently scheduled to get underway on September 23, 2024, for his alleged money laundering scheme to raise money to build Wall with a GoFundMe account. Care to guess which judge is hearing it? 😉 Cite: [Steve Bannon's Trial Postponed - Newsweek](https://www.newsweek.com/steve-bannon-faces-music-we-build-wall-fraud-case-1896079) (Sorry for the tawdry cite, but it was hard to find anything with the wall-to-wall coverage on today’s ruling sending Bannon to jail on July 1st.) ---

> [@Railer13](#): > > A-hole deluxe Bannon ordered to prison. Only four months, but better than nothing. Are we taking bets on whether or not he actually shows up? I mean, at this point, he can just roll “unlawfully at large” into his general pardon once Trump is back in office. ---

I was coming to mention the delousing. I assume they will medically treat him as I assume he’ll have a bad case of the DTs. Is that typically happens when an alcoholic enters prison? ---

> [@commasense](#): > > “One thing I think you need to learn as a lawyer is that when a judge has decided, you do not get up and yell at them,” the judge shot back. Every time I see something like this from one of Trump’s cultists, where they get up and make an argument in a courtroom like this it just pisses me off to no end. They’re just bullies who think they can force their own brand of authoritarianism on the entire country through sheer force of will. It’s infuriating. The real world isn’t supposed to work this way. > [@Procrustus](#): > > I would love more info on this.

From that article. > You’re sending a man to prison who thought he was complying with the law, we don’t do that in my system,” he continued, deriding the decision as “contrary to our system of justice.” So it’s just another one of them saying that you can’t hold these people responsible for anything they do because they’re Trump supporters of course. With a not so thinly veiled shot at the judge questioning his legal competence. I’m going to call this a “TTTT”. Typical Trumpworld Temper Tantrum. ---

Either that, or “I’m a Freeman on the Land™, not a ‘citizen of the United States’ (a Delaware corporation), and its laws don’t apply to me!” Granted it’s been decades since I had any significant interactions with any SovCits, but I have a feeling this attitude can still be found.
