Alternate headline: Bannon tells GOP they've been doing just an absolute fuckton of crimes.

    Maybe if you didn't do a bunch of blatently illegal/immoral shit that could solve the whole prison issue too?

    Me too. The catharis from seeing the moment of shock and fear just as the guillotine's blade touches the skin on their neck will make all of this worth it.

    That's a coup right? That sounds a LOT like a coup.

    It's technically not a coup since the US Citizens voted them into power in order to do this.

    The core message seems to be: since Trump is doing everything by executive order, the next time a Democrat holds the office of the presidency, ALL of it will be undone. And some of it, in his view, will be declared illegal in the first place. Like, I don't know, the DOGE takeover early in the year. Or the imprisonment of citizens and legal immigrants because racism.

    Biden didn't do any of it. He didn't even push for the Trump tax cuts from 2017 to be undone, which was insane. I sense that's part of the reason Harris lost in 2024, and it seems that the Democrats of 2025 are starting to smell the wind of change. Because the country and the voters forced them to.

    I was horrified in 2022 when both Biden and Yellen went on the record stating they believed the high inflation was just temporary and not a larger concern. This time around it's Trump telling America prices are down and the economy is booming.

    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?

    When by a miracle the upcoming 2026 voting fraud and roadblocks will be undone, and 2028's election is fair and brings a FULL landslide democratic win.

    Then the Democrats must go full in on a blaze of justice and condemn everyone in the current administration, including local government, think-tanks and anyone who enriched themselves unfairly, as conspirators in an evil coup to convict them with the highest penalties.

    If they do not ... the country will be lost in a prolonged smouldering fire of fascism.

    A "national pardon" to keep the balance is not a proper solution to this.

    But, read what I started with and you'll see there are enormous hurdles to overcome, I am not convinced the current administration will let any of it happen.

    The king in all but name is already here, and 2028 will likely have seen the crowning ceremony.

    This would literally be a miracle.

    I expect we go straight to “only look forward, not backwards.” Let’s face it, there are a lot of establishment dems in those Epstein files too whom they’d rather not prosecute.

    Both parties need to be discarded if regular Americans are to have any hope. Get rid of the donor-run uniparty, banish first past the post, disband the electoral college, and restore the fairness doctrine for news media broadcast license eligibility, and maybe…

    It's not "those who will be targeted," it's those who broke the law. How is it that a group can claim they should arrest and detain/deport people for filling out a piece of paper wrong 14 years ago that had nothing to do with fraud, embezzlement, or hurting anyone. Just trying to work a 9-5 and provide for their families, yet this group can turn around and support people who are openly admitting they have committed crimes and should commit more while asking others to commit crimes to stay out of prison in the future.

    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 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.

    Exactly. I’ll eat my hat if any of the key people gave any consequences at all when all this is over. It will be all, “we have to look forward, not backward.” I wouldn’t be shocked if an elected Democratic president pardoned Trump and his goons so that we can “heal as a nation.”

    Garland’s understandable desire to appear a-political in the Jan 6th and Trump cases will be a stick the left use to beat the moderates in the Democrat party for decades, and rightly so.

    If Garland hadn’t wasted 15 months working from the bottom (rioters) up Trump would probably be in prison now. I think he was well intentioned but didn’t have the bottle to be the guy who put the wheels in motion for banging up a President.

    No revolution, but you really need reforms to the power structure and the way elections work. Starting with the current division of presidential power between a Prime Minister (or Chancellor) and a President. If you already had this separation of powers, you would never have been paralysed the way you are now; if representatives failed to reach an agreement to approve the 2026 federal budget proposed by the prime minister, the president would simply dismiss the government and call for new elections.

    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.

    He doesn't need to worry, there won't be a democratic win in a big election ever again.

    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.

    Seriously? Many people are getting things done. You need more hope & to see the reality that we are kicking their asses regardless of any setbacks.

    "Do you want a better world or not?" is the fundamental question. If you enjoy life, life with other people, and people making things for us all to enjoy that is new/better maintain what we already have then you should want people to succeed in every way.

    More people get active by the day as well.

    Fyi, death by guillotine is actually incredibly ethical and humane.

    Infact, in modern research, rats that are used in research and then killed are done so via a guillotine.

    A friend was a pharmacologist researcher and told me that they gave them a little ketamine so they were out of it then cut their heads off. It's quick. They die within a few seconds.

    Contrary to popular belief. Breaking the neck or even cutting it through does not result in instant death. Only paralysis. Though severed head is faster death. (Fastest death is obliteration of brain stem).

    Many of the nerves that control the face actually run down into the neck and enter the spine there. So cutting off the head, at the base of the skull, also paralyzes the face.

    It's sort of how people think that since fish can't scream they don't feel pain. That's stupid.

    Just cause the head can't scream, Don't mean it's dead. I suspect that's why so many think breaking someone's neck or cutting off their head is "instant". It's definitely "certain death" but it's not instant.

    It takes a little bit of time for oxygen to be deprived from the brain enough to cause unconscious and then death.

    Breaking the neck or severing the head isn't immediate death. Someone with a broken neck (even if it causes face nerves to be severed) may stay alive/conscience up to a minute or two. Just paralyzed. Knowing they can't breathe. Knowing death is coming.

    Terrifying.

    So the gallows it is for the traitors.

    I think we can agree only some of them deserve the guillotine.
