    It’s a good thing for them that I don’t get to make the decisions, because prison would not be what I decide.

    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.

    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.

      Oh man, could you imagine if THAT was how Trump ran for another term?

      Democrats: Surely our fellow americans wouldn’t repeat-repeat-repeat vote for him! We can compromise to pass the “We Can Keep The Best Presidents As Long As We Want And It Is Temporarily Legal To Drink Water Without Asking Nestle” bill!

    So what he’s saying is that the people are kicking ass. Don’t threaten me with a good time!

    Everybody keep being active and getting others active too!!

    The more of us doing the easier it makes it for us all to get more done, to succeed more, & to win more.

    Let’s show them what the people can do together. Making the USA what it should have been after all these years.

    Hope is Powerful!! Strength in Unity!! Power to the People!!!

    He doesn’t need to worry, there won’t be a democratic win in a big election ever again.
    And even IF for some miracle it would happen, they are so milquetoast that they would probably give out blanket immunity “for the sake of not dividing the nation further”

      Even so democrats still won. We just need to make sure ways to votes are not tampered with and to not using the voting machines they bought

      It really depends on what happens with Democrat leadership over the next few years. If enough progressives manage to actually wrest control from the octogenarians, including by means of winning primaries like Mamdani, then we may see greater interest in some degree of accountability. Whether that’s prison time or something else, who knows.

        It depends not just on them but how many people get active and get others active to do too. Thats what will get the people to win

    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?

    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.
