He heard the Wednesday meatloaf is awful.
I’m not sure what the principle is that he’s so proud of. It’s stupidity and nothing else. All he had to do is show up and assert privilege. They would have had very limited options at that point, and it would most likely have been over.
Probably “You’re not the boss of ME!”
Him being a martyr to the MAGA cause will help trump get elected. Contributing to the permanent destruction of the USA will make him happy.
Beyond that selfish vindictive satisfaction he hopes to be rewarded somehow for that.
Whether directly by trump, or greater monetizeable internet celebrity, or as part of the newly founded “Patriot’s Brigades” which will soon encompass anyone who struggled against actual democracy and the actual rule of law since trump started his ascent to power in 2014sh.
As top Republic leaders bend over backwards to defend Bannon, aren’t any of the unwashed MAGAts wondering, “isn’t that the Build the Wall guy who took us for fools, and then got pardoned for it by trump?” Just him showing up on the sidewalk surrounded by press proclaiming his innocence should rankle. If ever somebody was deserving of a taste of jail, it’s this guy.
No, no, NO! He’s the guy that got us that wonderful wall that’s keeping all the evil immigrants out. The wall that Biden later tore down.
Those are the “facts” they’ve been told and those are the “facts” they believe.
I thought he was the build the wall guy who was just about to build the wall when those weaponized Democrats forced him to stop by charging him with fake crimes?
those “fake crimes” are going to trial in september. that should be interesting.
news on the september trial. merchan will not be the judge on that trial.
from wash examiner:
A court statement from Judge Ellen Biben said Merchan is no longer on the case because of a conflicting schedule. “Merchan … who is assigned to this matter, is engaged to preside over a six-defendant trial that is scheduled to commence on 09/16/24 and expected to last at least three months,” she wrote, while Bannon’s trial is set to begin on Sept. 23.
The statement ends by saying Judge April Newbauer will preside over Bannon’s case and “follow up with the parties to schedule a status conference and for any further communication.”

No doubt Justice Merchan is devastated. /s
“Four months in federal prison didn’t break me. It empowered me,” Bannon told his online audience. “I’m more energized and more focused than I’ve been in my entire life.”

I don’t think anyone predicted it would “break” him. I didn’t even think it would teach him a lesson. I’m now sure it didn’t. If he commits another similar crime, he’ll get a much longer term to empower him.
Anyone know what his release conditions are? Not consorting with felons, for one?
His time in Club Fed is no more the “federal prison” experience hopes to invoke in the minds of his audience than I’m John Wayne.
Lying liars and the lies they spew. That’s all it is top to bottom.
I don’t think there are any conditions, he served the full four months and now he’s done.
Did they at least clean him up a bit?
Did he come out all swole and tatted? Maybe with Trump’s face on his back?
He didn’t even lose weight in there. Damn, prison food must be better than I thought. He still looks like he needs a shower.
What stains him won’t shower off.
I don’t know the details of his sentence, but typically there will be a period of post confinement “supervision.”
