Nonsense. He hates Elon Musk's guts.
This guy should be put as close as possible to Elon Musk, with Bannon accessorizing as he sees fit.
Correction, they should both be put against the same well. They can slap fight while they wait their turn.
This works.
Not American and confused. I'm assuming that he's pleaded guilty because he already has his pardon from Daddy Orange, is this correct ?
Otherwise let's hope he rots in prison.
No prison sentence, and Trump has no power to pardon state crimes. Probably pleaded guilty to avoid jail time.
Ok thanks. But wait, why wouldn't he get jail time ?
Presumably that's what the plea deal offered.
American "law" sure is weird at times. "Yes I stole millions from the American people, I'll see myself out".
I would think that since daddy orange just ordered his DOJ to stop investigating a certain mayor of NY that the mayor might be able to put in a good word. Pretty sure he can't pardon though since he's not the governor.
Steve Bannon’s latest guilty plea is a masterclass in grift theater. The man who monetized border panic like a late-night infomercial host finally faces consequences—if you call three years of not running New York nonprofits “consequences”. His courtroom cosplay—untucked shirts and prison stints—reeks of calculated rebel branding for the MAGA merch crowd.
Of course he avoids real jail. The system’s wired for spectacle over substance. Trump’s federal pardon power couldn’t touch this state case, exposing the legal Swiss cheese that lets political operatives play jurisdictional hopscotch. Meanwhile, Alvin Bragg becomes both hero and target, trapped in the same circus he’s prosecuting.
This isn’t justice. It’s performance art for a democracy that rewards loophole literacy over accountability. The donors got scammed, Bannon gets clout, and we’re all just watching the algorithm feed.
