I always figured John Goodman, now that Philip Seymour Hoffman is no longer with us. ---

> [@Morgyn](#): > > I’m hoping for the long end of this, since shutting him up for any length of time would be a benefit to humanity as a whole. My guess is somewhere near the short end. Maybe more than 30 days, since he had absolutely no excuse for his failure to comply. Still, first offense and non-violent. 45 to 60 days would be most likely. I’d love it to be longer. BTW, I was listening to Sean Hannity today (I know) and he was praising Bannon for “sticking to his principles” and being ready to suffer the consequences. Apparently, that’s a very honorable thing to do. I could not, for the life of me, figure out what principles are honored by refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena. Hannity never said, I guess it’s obvious in right wing world. ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > I always figured John Goodman John Goodman may look like he’s in need of a diet, but he doesn’t have that distinctive Bannon look that suggests a circling swarm of flies and a desperate need of a bath and a shave – but mostly a bath. I think the ideal person to play Bannon would be a homeless bum enticed off the street with the offer of a hamburger. Acting ability wouldn’t matter – he would just have to recite fascist bumper-sticker slogans while swatting at the flies, which, filmed from the right angle, would look like artfully emphatic gesticulating. ---

Thank you. I was grappling with how to make this point, and here you did it, in one illustrative sentence. 😄 ---

Bannon making threats to the Attorney General. This has to be the basis for more criminal charges. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/x8EFUQjXcLs/maxresdefault.jpg "Bannon to Garland over Jan. 6 hearings: Indict Trump and we'll impeach you") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8EFUQjXcLs) ---

Lots of Cook County Jail inmates do just that. Some for years. But they’re not… you know… how to say, Bannon. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > This guy dresses like he forgot that he got dressed already. If you’ve ever seen _Men In Black_, he’s essentially Vincent D’Onofrio’s character (a giant alien cockroach wearing a human skin). He doesn’t know how a human acts or dresses but he’s trying to fit in, and he just looks off, because his skin suit is almost but not quite convincing. ---

D’onofrio, I’ve heard, is kind of an a-hole IRL, but he’s a wonderful actor. His Edgar-bug was a tour de force. He was even very good – in a blond wig! – in _Adventures in Babysitting._ ---
