Openly admitting that you're a criminal being protected by the current administration is an interesting tactic...

sunk cost fallacy:
we’re already all guilty of so much crime, we need to do super crime now!
actually their level of desperation is terrifying, Steve Bannon is looking at effectively the rest of his life in prison… he’s an old unhealthy man….
so that means he’ll do anything at this point.
….
things might get a whole lot worse really quick….
that or he’ll take a plane to russia.

As much as I'd like to see him stick around to get sentenced, living out his final days in Russia sounds like just as fitting of an end for that sack of shit

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

that’s way too nice of an end for him, but if he’s out of here that’s my main concern

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Actually it's dumber and worse, because he went on to expand that he believes any leftist leader will just kangaroo-court people they don't like.

You know, the whole "weaponization of justice" thing that Trump has done over two terms now.

Maybe, they're testing if their base will defend them if they go full fascists. They've been subtly saying things that led to rise of the fascists for a while now. And their base remains intact.

They're waiting for the cult to approve something even more harsh so that somehow 2nd mendment will be relevant again. But it won't be used against the authoritarians.

Maybe, idk. It's a shitshow.

He actually did.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 21 points 3 months ago

Yes and that was the only non insane part of his speech. He basically said because most of us are going to prison its not enough to just coup the government they must systematically take control of every single intuition to get total control over the country.

Using this as an Ad would be MEAN so NO!

-Democrats!

You son of a bitch I'm in!

[–] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Never seen you comment in the wild. Love your art posts.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Lol thank you! Clearly I need to comment in the wild more 😄

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Some of us have said “Trump for prison” for three elections now.

Of course Steve can go, too.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I wish it were true. These heinous assholes have evaded consequences through pardons, commutations or straight up not being prosecuted bc of libs not wanting to come off as partisan.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago

At this point it needs to be the guillotine.

The criminals keep pardoning each other.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd like to know what crimes he's inadvertently admitting to, here.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 5 points 3 months ago

I'm guessing he went on to call the Democrats fascist and other projecting like that. From what I've read of Steve Bannon, he'll be teaching the devil how to be more evil when he finally gets there, there's no way he thinks he's doing anything wrong.

For once I hope hes right.

Did he switch sides? because that is perfect propaganda to move people to vote
