The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“The Democrats don’t matter,” Bannon told Lewis. “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.”

What a disgusting cynical bastard.

..and he's a thief... a fraud...

How quickly people forget. It's hard to keep track of all the crime in Trump's circles.

The federal case alleged that Bannon was one of four people who "orchestrated a scheme to defraud hundreds of thousands of donors” out of some of the more than $25 million raised through an online crowdfunding campaign to help fulfill Trump's pledge to build a border wall. Federal authorities said Bannon used his nonprofit organization to receive more than $1 million of wall-building funds.

and then.... Trump pardoned Bannon of federal charges for his role in "We Build the Wall," Bannon was indicted in September 2022 in New York state on charges including money laundering and scheming to defraud donors. He pleaded not guilty in both the federal and New York cases.

Bannon's partners in that crime pleaded guilty. Bannon's day of reckoning for the 'Build the Wall' scam is yet to come.
