    Oh, Stevie NO! You can’t go to prison. You’ve got culture war to pedal. We need you spreading bullshit and getting people angry. How can you do that if you can’t be on your stupid little podcast? STEVIE!

    “I’m guilty of things I did to help Trump last time he was in office, and I should be let off because I’m instrumental in helping Trump get into office again”.

    Didn’t Trump just have a meeting with his probation officer where he had to confirm he wasn’t associating with criminals?

    Schadenfreude has never really been my thing, but what do you know? Seeing traitors finding out is super fun.

    Employment is not a preclusion to imprisonment. If he wanted to stay out of prison maybe he should think about that before breaking the law and ignoring a congressional subpoena. If he didn’t want it to happen during an election why did he appeal for 2 years first?

    Maybe it should be the opposite. The waitress at Denny’s is not exactly in a position of power so keeping them out of jail is no great risk to the public. Someone working on a campaign for president, and presumably could hold a White House position, is far more dangerous. The degree of power is the degree it should be regulated.

    Dudes gonna have the shakes bad behind those bars, lol.

    He also gets to be tried for fraud while in jail lmao.

    Wouldn’t that be delicious if he’s found guilty and remanded into custody until sentencing and never leaves jail?

    “The government seeks to imprison Mr Bannon for the four-month period leading up to the November election, when millions of Americans look to him for information on important campaign issues,” Bannon’s lawyer wrote.

    Pretty sure that he can hire someone to post on Breitbart for him.

      If Trump is on probation, can Bannon even associate with him? Typically, you can’t associate with criminals while on probation right?

    ROFL That is the point, failing to adhere to any court orders means there are consequences for that violation. These MAGA fools need to feel the consequences of their actions to understand they can’t play stupid games, it results in stupid prizes.
