I just read the Steve Bannon news out loud to my family-we all gasped and my daughter said “Christmas has come early!”
It must have come early because I see a picture of a Christmas ham in the header.
Hahahaha I wonder how many layers of jail shirts he will wear at a time. What is this feeling… so strange…. I think I am ….smiling. Hahahahahaahaha getting arrested by Postal Service agents…that is the biggest middle finger to Trump imaginable
These are the laughs and karmic signs we need right now.
Imagine him insisting on multiple jumpsuits so he can create his signature multi-collar look!
The absolute best part of this is that the arresting officers were Postal Service agents.
Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year’s all rolled into one!
Bannon arrested by Postal Service agents (oh the irony), Trump ordered to submit his Tax returns and Biden officially accepting the nomination.
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY 😂
Oh, I didn’t know trump was ordered to show his tax returns! Yay
He will probably appeal it (again), but it’s one more thing to piss him off!! 🙂
Yes, as Mr. Rogers would sing, it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood….
When I read the news this morning and read the article, it seems that Bannon has the stickiest hands in the bunch so it’s jail time for him. Over 1MIL dollars he stole! Yes, it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood news today!
2020 is giving me so much whiplash. Just when we all feel defeated, 2020 is like, “Surprise, bi*ches! Here is VP Kamala, Bannon arrest, and Trump tax returns!”
@Mina_Esq, it seems that christmas has come early!!
Oh my. Are the chickens finally coming home to roost?
But it’s federal, so Billy Boy may get involved. Or is Steve a distracting casualty for the Orange puppet?
I think Barr had to choose between Bannon and Giuliani. Since Giuliani is clinically NUTS!!!, and Bannon is a psychopathic poker player who has already perjured himself for 45, I figure they will keep Rudy safe and quiet (no telling what he’ll say!) and buy Bannon off with a pardon promise for this round of his lies.
That Friday night firing just did not work out well for Barr. Strauss is making things happen.
Rudy is the textbook definition of human loose cannon. He would definitely spill everything.
I bet Bannon’s shook that he can only wear 1 rumpled shirt at a time in prison.
Thank you for that, as I spit out my coffee 🤣
Lol. Welcome!
Hahhhahah yes!
Bannon was arrested on a boat off the coast of Connecticut. Optics couldn’t scream “white collar criminal” any louder.
Throw away the keys.
Especially when the yacht is reportedly owned by a “mysterious” Chinese billionaire.
Who also is a member at Mar a Lago.
The movies and mini series from the Trump years will probably keep us entertained for the next decade.
And Biden is the one who’s going to sell us out to the Chinese??!
@MaryContrary – They project all the time, don’t they?
@AnneCall – It will be a welcome relief when this becomes entertainment instead of real-life. The writers will be busy for decades!
Some good news for a change!
Ugh, I love Sam Cook and that song. Her voice is beautiful but just like her “Memory” cover I like the original better.
Well that’s the best news I’ve seen in a while! I hope the case is airtight and he is held accountable, and he’s just the next of many.
The #TrumpMeltdown was prompted by #ObamaDidEverythingBetter trending. Hahahahaha.
I wonder if this is why Trunp was trying to fire the federal prosecutor in NY!?!
Cue Trump “I don’t him” distancing himself but will then pardon him. But….if he’s not convicted until after Trump is out of office (🤞🏻) he can’t pardon him, right?
If not voted back in Trump has until Jan 20th to any damage that he wants and can pardon Bannon.
Though, given the corona virus issue, the prosecutor will need a surmountable time to investigate all of their personal and commercial books to gather all of the necessary documents for trial. It will be a year I think before he goes to court. I wonder if they will offer him a deal to flip on Drumpf? Though I don’t know what jurisdiction he is being tried in. I guess where they registered the non profit.
He already started with that, saying he hasn’t dealt with him in a long time. Sure.
@SMCOLLINS, right on cue! “Trump Downplays His Relationship With Steve Bannon After Indictment” headline on HuffPo:
https://m.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/donald-trump-steve-bannon_n_5f3ea6d9c5b697824f95caf1?ri18n=true
All those poor little MAGAts, scratching their spidery signatures on those checks, sending them to Trump for his magnificent wall to keep out the rapists and drug lords…their money stolen by the very dude that helped machinate this whole charade…
What’s that word again? It’s not bittersweet.
Uh, oh yeah. It’s sweet.
It’s karma baby! HAHAHA. The guy who was also in on the scam lives in the Destin FL. I live near there and it’s an area with many Trump supporters
They’re brain damaged-DoorMatt Gaetz, 82%, jeez.
That big beautiful wall that could not even stay upright during a category 1 hurricane hahahahaha
Bannon arrest the day after Kamala’s VP acceptance speech–is this heaven?? And U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss is killing it!! I relished every single word of this SDNY press release!
https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/leaders-we-build-wall-online-fundraising-campaign-charged-defrauding-hundreds-thousands
@ adastraperasperam so he is facing a federal court in NY! Thank you for your post!
Me too, thanks!
Audrey Strauss is making her presence know.
In brand new stiletto high heels I hope! LOL! LOL!
Can y’all see my happy dance?
I LOVE this song!! 😍😍
Hopefully Bannon squeals on Trump like the pig he is. I can’t wait to see all these grifters in prison. They’ve stolen so much from us
Hip hip HOORAY! Hip hip HOORAYYY!!
And USPS agents were involved. I guess now we know why Dump was trying so hard to defund the Postal Service.
Man, Karma is rolling her bus right on through 2020 without tapping the brakes even once.
FIRST, NY Attorney General Leticia James goes after the NRA.
THEN, the SDNY and the USPS goes after Bannon.
Somewhere out there Preet Bharara is laughing has ass off. Of course expect Trump and company to cry “CONSPIRACY” and blame radical left wing socialist anarchists, the Clintons, the Obamas, the Bidens, TikTok, Hollywood, and Nancy Pelosi for all of this.
Lots of thoughts about Bannon and NRA. No prayers.
I don’t think I can let my hopes rise at all, but at least he’s experiencing some kind of consequence for all his democracy-destroying actions, even if it’s just a couple of counts and Barr will probably try to intervene.
On the one hand, not surprised and glad he was arrested. On the other, based on the photos after he was released on bail, he looks pretty dang happy at all the attention again, which means he’s probably going to be all over the media again, esp with the RNC convention next week.
