Republicans in VT are Democrats, they just run as Republicans because it’s an easy way to get on the ballot to challenge.

We’ve heard this all too recently I’m afraid.
Ratfucker sounds like he’s reading straight from Roger Stone’s script.

Oh the irony: calling this an attempt to “stop and intimidate people” people who have supported the Trump administration’s effort to build a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border and who, as he put it, “have Trump’s back.”
Why would you have Trump’s back when he will never have yours?

Here’s another pardon coming in November, I bet Bannon doesn’t serve jail time over this or even end up at trial once the pardon hits. But, it sounds like there are other charges out there, so they may hold those back until after Trump leaves office. Bannon himself is done in politics, stealing from people is a bad look…though he’s probably not done stealing, I bet he calls for donations to fight the “political hit job” against him.
It’s funny how all these Trumpers who have “political hit jobs” against them end up being indicted and convicted…it’s almost like they actually did bad things and it’s not just part of politics.

“The Wall” much like all Republican policy for the last 40 years has been about using racism to rob White America. Or as Paul Krugman put it on 6/1/2020 when discussing the current state of America:
"How did we get here? The core story of U.S. politics over the past four decades is that wealthy elites weaponized white racism to gain political power, which they used to pursue policies that enriched the already wealthy at workers’ expense.
Until Trump’s rise it was possible — barely — for people to deny this reality with a straight face. At this point, however, it requires willful blindness not to see what’s going on."

I miss the good ole “Witch Hunt”. Had a rustic charm to it.

Neither will Vermont, evidently. Normal non-Trump politicians have an individual mix of skills but every last one can count.

Naw, Bannon didn’t leave Trump on the best of terms. He’s getting nothing.

I get the strong sense it’s all caving in on Trump. Between Bannon, Miles Taylor, the Cohen book, Strozak book, Brennan book, and so many other revelations we have yet to anticipate before November, I get the feeling Trump is a dead man shuffling down a ramp to his doom.
DeJoy can try, but will not save him.

I read the indictment. There are direct quotes from email and texts. The hit job may be political but the bullets are the bare facts of fraud. Next time use a for-profit.

Maybe Bannon should call this a political witch hit hunt job.
Actually, political hit job is better because Bannon is an expert on those.

“A political hit job” is obvious because you know that there are dozens of Democratic operatives who are running wire and mail fraud schemes that promise to build the border wall.

Totally agree Steve. And of course the president is fully responsible for the outrages of his department of Justice so we all better vote president traitor out.

I bet that Trumpy gives a pardon to Bannon. Also bet that Kolfage seeks a plea deal since the Tripledgic doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life in prison. He will throw Bannon under the bus just like Trumpy did.

Bannon has always fancied himself as the grifter who’s too smart to get caught. In reality, he’s just another stupid person’s idea of a smart person.
And, why does he always wear multiple shirts?
