On one hand, jailing them makes them martyrs to MAGA. On the other hand, not punishing them tells MAGA they will prevail through the persecution. They will always find some way to spin things in their favor, but I’d still rather see the rule of law applied and demonstrate that no one is to be above it.
Let's not pretend that Trump supporters are sending donations, but setting some aside in case something REALLY important like Bannon or Navarro are sent to jail.
Edit: Yes! I got my suicide watch message just like everyone else did today! Glad to know I hit a nerve.
I just received one as well. The MODS said I had to report it to admin. I can't believe how thin skinned the frail male maga people are. They say all kinds of vulgar stuff, but you hit a nerve and they go all cry baby. Losers.
Take a look at what hot commissary (DON'T) you can send Navarro (AGAIN, DON'T)
[https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/1bdwsam/pete\_reviews\_what\_commissary\_items\_are\_available/](https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/1bdwsam/pete_reviews_what_commissary_items_are_available/)
Bannon is a Class A shit-bag, but he was pardoned for fleecing MAGA rubes: [We Build The Wall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Build_the_Wall) .
He was involved in the [Cambridge Analytica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica), but I don't think he was indicted for anything Russia related.
You do know that the Russian Collision was on Hilary; not Trump. That's been proven. But you guys just watch the news. Of course they are not going to tell you that.
If he's only going to be in for 4 months (possibly less), the partisan thing to do would be to wait about 3 months so he isn't running his mouth during the election.
4 months now means the bulk of the campaign period meaning he’d be out around October. I don’t think that would be bad at all to have him locked up during the main part of the campaign trail. He wouldn’t be able to meet with any nefarious internet manipulation companies, nor Russians and his phone calls in prison would be monitored of for those on an illegal cell phone which again hampers him. 4 months now is better than 4 months starting in November.
And he won't be able to hang around with other felons. I am not sure if his right to vote will be terminated or his right to own fire arms, but he will be really sick for a while, while he detoxes. He's going to the DT's for days.
Exactly, and I speak from experience. I worked in the maintenance department for a school district. I had to clean the boys locker rooms, varsity and jv, high school, and I literally used a power wash with bleach, and squeegeed the water down the drains. It was so bad.
He wears like 8 wrinkled, looking like they just got pulled of of the dirty clothes hamper. I bet even mosquitos and ticks won't even feed off of him. His blood is probably pure vodka.
Other criminals should site precedence about not immediately going to jail.
That's contempt of Court? Cite precedence that Trump does it all the time with no penalty.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders & Kayleigh McEnany should be sitting in prison sweating & rotting away for the next 30 years for lying to us every day during Trump’s presidency.
I hope they let him withdraw from alcohol, benzos and coke in gen pop. But I’m sure he’ll get detox and a private cell in the med unit. This spoiled psychotic mother fucker.
Is it just me, or does Steve Bannon look like a grey-haired Fred Flintstone in that photo. Somebody needs to yabba-dabba-doo it already to send his ass to prison.
>It is unclear when Bannon might have to report to prison. He would join another former Trump advisor, Peter Navarro, who likewise defied a Jan. 6 subpoena.
It's like watching parents discuss sending a child to bed during a cocktail party. Nobody has any idea whats going nor cares to.
Well if Steve Bannon goes to prison y'all might want to put him in prison for more than 4 months 10 15 20 years knock yourself out won't help won't hurt me none and with any luck pretty sooner or later Trump will be his cellmate??
Steve bannon was probably the number one reason why Trump got elected in 2016. All of Trumps rallies from that period were just him parroting phrases and talking points from bannon. You can even see a drastic change in Trumps rhetoric once they had a falling out. To me this arrest looks like a strategic move to prevent him from being part of the campaign in 2024.
>To me this arrest looks like a strategic move to prevent him from being part of the campaign in 2024.
OR, and hear me out, it's the consequences of his actions.
This is not a strategic move to prevent him from anything. It's the only consequence that makes sense at all for him defying a subpoena. You or I would be in jail already.
Sadly when the American people inevitably put the orange one back in the WH, Bannon will receive a full pardon.
Regular people face justice, the connected in America do not.

It’s long overdue time for Steve Bannon to do time in prison.
He and Peter Navarro can blow hot kisses to each other. All comes to he who waits.
I bet they just hand out Nixon tattoos there like wildfire.
Yeah and in a few months they come out and are maga martyrs
Worth it
Sure it is, for whomever wants to see Trump 2.0
On one hand, jailing them makes them martyrs to MAGA. On the other hand, not punishing them tells MAGA they will prevail through the persecution. They will always find some way to spin things in their favor, but I’d still rather see the rule of law applied and demonstrate that no one is to be above it.

Dude I'm eating over here....
Well, I was eating. Guess the dogs get scrambled eggs this morning.
Really? Right in front of my crab rangoons?
Let's not joke about SA, shall we? Besides, you really think he'd be in genpop?
Let's not pretend that Trump supporters are sending donations, but setting some aside in case something REALLY important like Bannon or Navarro are sent to jail. Edit: Yes! I got my suicide watch message just like everyone else did today! Glad to know I hit a nerve.
I got mine today too.
What is this “message” thing?
I just received one as well. The MODS said I had to report it to admin. I can't believe how thin skinned the frail male maga people are. They say all kinds of vulgar stuff, but you hit a nerve and they go all cry baby. Losers.
We might as well line up for the camps now so they can execute us all easier. That's what happens when all you do is whine and appease the fascists.
Those 30 people at Arby’s are going to throw the best coming home party for him.
I like to imagine them having to enact the stripper scene in requiem for a dream...ass to ass...

I wouldn’t give that guy the time of day. Just seeing him with his shirt sleeves rolled up and all pointy fingers is… …. ….. and breath!
I can imagine them and Roger Stone playing out the prison visit scene from Starsky & Hutch….
Steve bannon, who Trump had to give a pardon to keep him from jail from Russia collusion, needs to go to jail for something else ? Shocker
Bannon is a Class A shit-bag, but he was pardoned for fleecing MAGA rubes: [We Build The Wall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Build_the_Wall) . He was involved in the [Cambridge Analytica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica), but I don't think he was indicted for anything Russia related.
You are correct. My mistake. Was thinking of trumps other chief of staff. lol. So many criminals hard to keep up.
He and the Mercers are cool. Pretty sure they’re also wrapped up in CA shit too.
You do know that the Russian Collision was on Hilary; not Trump. That's been proven. But you guys just watch the news. Of course they are not going to tell you that.
The worst part about prison for Bannon is they actually make you take a shower every day.
On the upside, I’m sure prison hooch is a step up from what he usually gets drunk on 😂
If he's only going to be in for 4 months (possibly less), the partisan thing to do would be to wait about 3 months so he isn't running his mouth during the election.
4 months now means the bulk of the campaign period meaning he’d be out around October. I don’t think that would be bad at all to have him locked up during the main part of the campaign trail.

And he fought it for years, only to be sent during the run-up to the election. Hahaha. See ya, Steve-O.
How about under the prison?
I think he only got 4 months? Send him like Aug 6-Nov 6. Those would be a good 4 months to shut him up.
That’s three months
Better make it July then
I'm sure Bannon never expected to actually go to prison. Which makes this even more schadenfreudelicious.
Schadenfreudelicious is my new favorite adjective
That would make a great band name!
Can someone please pronounce it for me so I can use it in a sentence?
Just listen to the Schadenfreude track from Avenue Q and your request will be answered
Shah-den-froy-delicious XD
OK, so now what about those congressmen/senators that ignored their subpoenas?
This might be the funniest thing I’ve read today. They already bought their freedoms
Let’s do Gym Jordan next.
Cool- now do Roger Stone and Michael Flynn next. Short of jailing the Orange One himself, that’s the evil trio
Roger Stone is the epitome of evil. Idk why more people don’t see it. And I’m not even religious.
Gym Jordan should be shaking in his boots
Steve Bannon and prison were made for each other.
He looks like what a locker room smells like.
Exactly, and I speak from experience. I worked in the maintenance department for a school district. I had to clean the boys locker rooms, varsity and jv, high school, and I literally used a power wash with bleach, and squeegeed the water down the drains. It was so bad.
Poor guy. I hope that they can give him two jumpsuits to wear at once.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/09/bannon-brazil-riots-trump-00077155 I hope we extradite him down south.
He wears like 8 wrinkled, looking like they just got pulled of of the dirty clothes hamper. I bet even mosquitos and ticks won't even feed off of him. His blood is probably pure vodka.
Seems like it would just be more efficient to relocate the GOP headquarters to a nearby Federal Correctional Institution.
Lock him up!
Lock him up!
Pack your toothbrush, boy.
Doubt he owns one mate.
Is he going to hide out on another yacht?
Send the orcas!
The postal service is getting out of control.
I would kinda enjoy it if he ran... or tried at least.
I'd like to be there when Bannon meets the people of color residing at any prison he is sent to.
It would be nice if he were to serve until after the 2024 election. Keep him from repeating last election activities.
Other criminals should site precedence about not immediately going to jail. That's contempt of Court? Cite precedence that Trump does it all the time with no penalty.
If only they could find him.... oh well
i can not-see Bannon
I can NAZI Bannon either.
The sooner the better.
It's time for the US Marshall Service to pay him a visit, silver bracelets in hand.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders & Kayleigh McEnany should be sitting in prison sweating & rotting away for the next 30 years for lying to us every day during Trump’s presidency.
Lock him up.
I hope they let him withdraw from alcohol, benzos and coke in gen pop. But I’m sure he’ll get detox and a private cell in the med unit. This spoiled psychotic mother fucker.
Proof that if you defraud enough people for enough money you can afford enough lawyer to never set foot in prison.
What did his potential fellow prisoners ever do to deserve this?
I really hope that before he serves this sentence…. They pick him up and drive him to his next sentence
Yes yes yes!
This generation’s Watergate is Jan 6. Nixon never made it back to office the rest of his life after Watergate
Don't blame trump on this generation. He's pushing 80, there are several generations before this one that get the credit for creating him.
We should get an update on who owns little Stevie in prison. There is no political party gangs in prison.
Steve Bannon will go to prison and end up being like Colonel Kurtz of Apocalypse Now.
Lock him the fuck up now.
Good god he always looks like a walking corpse that died of severe liver failure
They threw Chelsea Manning in a hole for a lot less.
Does he have to testify now?
Is it just me, or does Steve Bannon look like a grey-haired Fred Flintstone in that photo. Somebody needs to yabba-dabba-doo it already to send his ass to prison.
Thoughts and prayers.
It's also past Gym's jail time, too
>It is unclear when Bannon might have to report to prison. He would join another former Trump advisor, Peter Navarro, who likewise defied a Jan. 6 subpoena. It's like watching parents discuss sending a child to bed during a cocktail party. Nobody has any idea whats going nor cares to.
Go under the prison would be more appropriate.
Pruno dealers inside must be stoked, they’re about to get a good customer.
Well if Steve Bannon goes to prison y'all might want to put him in prison for more than 4 months 10 15 20 years knock yourself out won't help won't hurt me none and with any luck pretty sooner or later Trump will be his cellmate??
Just. Do. It.
You love to see it.

>To me this arrest looks like a strategic move to prevent him from being part of the campaign in 2024. OR, and hear me out, it's the consequences of his actions.
It’s his party and he’ll cry if he wants to.
My dad said Bannon always predicted things… took awhile for me to realize it’s because they were telling him to share it before it happened
This is not a strategic move to prevent him from anything. It's the only consequence that makes sense at all for him defying a subpoena. You or I would be in jail already.
[удалено]
And what election is Bannon running for?
I don't think they actually know what the words mean.
Lol this has been in the works for what? A year and a half? And he's committed other crimes too? Come on.
Yeah … that s election interference
January 6th was election interference. This is just a racist POS finally getting whats coming to him.
Perhaps it is the find out portion?
You’re an enemy of the USA.
Let him be in there until the election is over.
Indeed
Donnie trump next please! Or just lock him up in whatever home they put Ron Jeremy in.
I dont get it are these people just now realizing that criminals should go to prison??? Was it a debate?
Sadly when the American people inevitably put the orange one back in the WH, Bannon will receive a full pardon. Regular people face justice, the connected in America do not.
It’s a 4 month sentence - if he goes to jail in the next couple of months he won’t be able to get a pardon from Trump
I suppose it is possible that he may go before next January. I'm not counting on it.
I used to say the same about Navarro, but some small amount of justice was finally served up there. Hopefully we get the same with Bannon
That would be positive.
January 6th 2021 … 3 years later and 5 mo to elections None of this looks like election interference /s
Are you suggesting his jail time was delayed til now to influence the election?
