Alternate headline: Bannon tells GOP they’ve been doing just an absolute fuckton of crimes.
Crimes which current democrats will ignore in the name of making peace.
Prison? I was hoping for public executions
Me too. The catharis from seeing the moment of shock and fear just as the guillotine’s blade touches the skin on their neck will make all of this worth it.
That’s a coup right? That sounds a LOT like a coup.
It’s technically not a coup since the US Citizens voted them into power in order to do this.
Ahh. Just hitler vibes then.
If you have to change the way the country works so you don’t go to prison, you should already be there.
The guy is admitting to planning a coup; he’s a terrorist.
And still nobody is gonna stop him
Don’t threaten us with a good time, Steve.
This is what I thought during the first term, and yet… here we are again
You mean the people who betrayed America and let hundred of thousand of Americans needlessly die in the pandemic?
Then cut aid to foreign governments so they could bail out their authoritarian friends causing hundreds of thousands more people around the world to die needlessly?
When by a miracle the upcoming 2026 voting fraud and roadblocks will be undone, and 2028’s election is fair and brings a FULL landslide democratic win.
Then the Democrats must go full in on a blaze of justice and condemn everyone in the current administration, including local government, think-tanks and anyone who enriched themselves unfairly, as conspirators in an evil coup to convict them with the highest penalties.
If they do not … the country will be lost in a prolonged smouldering fire of fascism.
A “national pardon” to keep the balance is not a proper solution to this.
But, read what I started with and you’ll see there are enormous hurdles to overcome, I am not convinced the current administration will let any of it happen.
The king in all but name is already here, and 2028 will likely have seen the crowning ceremony.
This would literally be a miracle.
I expect we go straight to “only look forward, not backwards.” Let’s face it, there are a lot of establishment dems in those Epstein files too whom they’d rather not prosecute.
Both parties need to be discarded if regular Americans are to have any hope. Get rid of the donor-run uniparty, banish first past the post, disband the electoral college, and restore the fairness doctrine for news media broadcast license eligibility, and maybe…
But prosecuting these criminals would be political/s
It’s not “those who will be targeted,” it’s those who broke the law. How is it that a group can claim they should arrest and detain/deport people for filling out a piece of paper wrong 14 years ago that had nothing to do with fraud, embezzlement, or hurting anyone. Just trying to work a 9-5 and provide for their families, yet this group can turn around and support people who are openly admitting they have committed crimes and should commit more while asking others to commit crimes to stay out of prison in the future.
Just trying to work a 9-5 and provide for their families
Yeah, but did they do this while being brown?
lol traitors don’t get the luxury of prison.
It’s a good thing for them that I don’t get to make the decisions, because prison would not be what I decide.
What a Treasonous Pig. I hope his bacon gets fried
I’ve never agreed more with Steve Bannon. Unfortunately I don’t think Dems have the balls
Oh, Steve. If there’s any justice in the world, you’ll never see the inside of a prison. Just the inside of a blindfold.
Can some of these fuckers start going to prison in 2026?
Or sooner
They will be pardoned if before then.
You need to show your political power is greater than his political power for the institutions to listen.
Every political figure has their own unique mana bar, their own special following of varying degrees of power, but Trump’s mana bar is different.
Trump’s base is not remotely the American majority, but they are the most mana-dense group out there. They are pure, raw, power to exert political will. Not as individuals, they’re stupider than soggy drywall as individuals. As a group, they have all the cards because they are:
United no matter who is part of the group. No entry requirements other than loyalty.
Guaranteed loyal. Trump can tell them to jump, they jump. Trump eats a baby on TV, they will wear “Eat the baby” T-shirts the next day. Trump says “storm the capitol” to prove to Congress and Senate that he has them on a leash and they even do that.
Patriotic, they carry the flag. The left is largely anti-jingoism, but in the world-stage, flags have power. Patriotism is team-power. When we abandoned the flag we gave up a large swath of power.
Armed and are violent. Again, you see this as anti-social and harmful, and on a community level it often is, but in the political landscape where there is no actual such thing as “law” having an armed group of loyalists is how nations have been built and preserved for literally thousands of years.
The longer Trump’s cabinet and administration can hold onto this group, the more they can do to pilfer the reserves and get their backers and sponsors filled with sweet, sweet sacks of cash in the form of deregulation and tax breaks.
The thing is, like with so many cases like this in history, it’s entirely constructed on the shaky foundation of one person’s “charm” and ability to hold onto their attention spans or lack thereof.
As soon as Trump keels over, which could literally be at any moment, this political mana will start to disperse. This is why you’re starting to see a lot more Vance on programs, a lot more Bannon and Miller, a lot more of the generals and enablers each trying to secure some fleeting drop of that mana. I do not think people like Vance are going to be able to control even a fraction of the power that Trump commanded, but it could be a long, long time before any of them face any consequence if they do at all.
Congratulations, you now understand “political capital” in the nerdiest way I can explain it.

“he?”
You need to slow down entirely my friend. Just slow down. Life isn’t a race to the end of every comment, every conversation, every internet debate, etc.
