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.
Bannon is a piece of shit ghoul but of MAGAs most influential assholes he’s ones of the few that has enough guile to understand what will happen if they somehow lose the gambit they’ve embarked upon. Things are only going to escalate from here after the big loses they suffered Tuesday and as the economy continues to ride a unicycle on a 2x4 across the Grand Canyon

I wonder if Bannon and trump internally refer to this future state as being Bolsonaro’d.
The system will not deliver justice. People’s justice might not be as kind as what Bolsonaro’s getting.
I found the book mindfuck so interesting listening through who bannon was when the guy first met him and the journey to what he became.
We tend to assume these pieces of shit were always as bad as they currently are, so listening to stories like that are quite valuable to understanding how we get to where we are/were. The way this kind of awful can grow in the right person.
That’s a coup right? That sounds a LOT like a coup.
It’s only a coup if it happens in the coup region of the world. Otherwise it’s just sparkling facism
It’s technically not a coup since the US Citizens voted them into power in order to do this.
Ahh. Just hitler vibes then.
You can coup democratic rule. The rulers of America, in the theory of republican liberalism, being the voters (though you could also laugh at that assertion it has theoretical principles on its side if not reality)
It’s a good thing for them that I don’t get to make the decisions, because prison would not be what I decide.
Prison? I was hoping for public executions
Best I can offer is healing wounds, looking forward and moving on together. We need a strong show of bipartisan support, not a witch hunt.
/s
Good, I was worried we’d be dwelling on the past
Phew! I thought you were going to offer thoughts and prayers.
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.
I was hoping more for a Mussolini style upside down hanging in public where anyone who wishes to can desecrate their corpses.
The Ceaușescu look if you will
Upvoted this and it was the 47th one. Feels good
Maybe if you didn’t do a bunch of blatently illegal/immoral shit that could solve the whole prison issue too?
If a 2028 Democratic presidential candidate has any platform other than arresting Republican figureheads, I will not support them. Lawbreakers and criminals belong in prison.
I’ll be honest, I would not have had the left campaigning on “lock him up” but I’m not sure there can be any other option.
If they cop out with some unity bullshit it will just happen again in 4 years when people forget or decide they need a change or whatever.
Yay 2 party systems.
Both lock them up and make america better should be campaign. With all the specifics of course
at this rate i don’t think there is going to be a 2028 election or a democratic party.
They need to be tried for treason, and punished accordingly.
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.
Technically that’s treason, so he’s a traitor (unless you’re saying he’s that and a terrorist, in which case nevermind)
And still nobody is gonna stop him
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?
Don’t worry Bannon, Democrat leadership doesn’t exactly have the best track record of holding criminals and actual enemies of the people accountable for their crimes.
Exactly. I’ll eat my hat if any of the key people gave any consequences at all when all this is over. It will be all, “we have to look forward, not backward.” I wouldn’t be shocked if an elected Democratic president pardoned Trump and his goons so that we can “heal as a nation.”
Garland’s understandable desire to appear a-political in the Jan 6th and Trump cases will be a stick the left use to beat the moderates in the Democrat party for decades, and rightly so.
If Garland hadn’t wasted 15 months working from the bottom (rioters) up Trump would probably be in prison now. I think he was well intentioned but didn’t have the bottle to be the guy who put the wheels in motion for banging up a President.
He was a republican, and that’s why he dragged his feet for 4 years. It was either too hard for him, or he was one of them all along. In either case, a complete fail of a man, who deserves all the contempt and loathing that I have for him. Garland is the reason we have Donny 2 Inches as president, and not in jail where he actually belongs. History should have Garland right up there with Benedict Arnold.
We’re going to have to demand they do. When the time comes, we cannot let it go. We must insist these people face justice. Be as annoying about it as we are about the Epstein files.
The only good outcome is a revolution and starting the Untied States over from scratch
No revolution, but you really need reforms to the power structure and the way elections work. Starting with the current division of presidential power between a Prime Minister (or Chancellor) and a President. If you already had this separation of powers, you would never have been paralysed the way you are now; if representatives failed to reach an agreement to approve the 2026 federal budget proposed by the prime minister, the president would simply dismiss the government and call for new elections.
Who’s “you”? I’m Canadian
Ah, it’s really easy to wish for the destruction of other people’s countries.
The Donny 2 Inches government is fucking the entire world, mate. The whole world wishes this destruction on you, at this time. Elect better people, stop being run by and for criminals, and stop fucking over other countries and their people, maybe?
I’m not American either. That’s why I first said “you” instead of “we”.
I assumed the other guy was American and you assumed I was American, quite funny, isn’t it? 🤣
The internet knows no borders lol.
Right, so it’s easy for you to suggest complete destruction of the United States.
What a Treasonous Pig. I hope his bacon gets fried
Don’t threaten us with a good time, Steve.
The core message seems to be: since Trump is doing everything by executive order, the next time a Democrat holds the office of the presidency, ALL of it will be undone. And some of it, in his view, will be declared illegal in the first place. Like, I don’t know, the DOGE takeover early in the year. Or the imprisonment of citizens and legal immigrants because racism.
Biden didn’t do any of it. He didn’t even push for the Trump tax cuts from 2017 to be undone, which was insane. I sense that’s part of the reason Harris lost in 2024, and it seems that the Democrats of 2025 are starting to smell the wind of change. Because the country and the voters forced them to.
I was horrified in 2022 when both Biden and Yellen went on the record stating they believed the high inflation was just temporary and not a larger concern. This time around it’s Trump telling America prices are down and the economy is booming.
This is what I thought during the first term, and yet… here we are again
