[renate]

26. I was already laughing, and then I saw this

My heart is filled with joy.

[Me.]

5. They Couldn't Get More To Show Up For A Free Breakfast?

[BruceWane]

23. Appetite suppressant

I'd refuse any food that came within 100 feet of that. Dude looks like walking typhoid.

[George II]

40. 17 were there for the breakfast, 0 were there for Bannon.

[rpannier]

45. Come for the breakfast

Then go home

[marylandblue]

6. How many were there just for free breakfast?

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Seventeen

And two left when they ran out of ham biscuits.

[Ilsa]

25. And four of them were staying

at the hotel anyway and happened to stumble in to the event.

[dewsgirl]

30. This is what I thought about to.

[lindysalsagal]

37. 6 were looking for the Amway convention but couldn't read the signs and ended up there.

Were looking around for the table with the door prizes and found Steve, instead.

[rpannier]

46. You certain the sign outside the event didn't read 'Amway'?

It wasn't until they got in that they realized...

[Mopar151]

56. "Network Marketing"

Amway's upscale move - with complete denial of Amway, until the products show up. Look for some leisure suits on the presenters.

[Ilsa]

48. Hahahahahaha!!!! Love that! nt

[George II]

41. Bazinga!

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. Topeka is the Capitol of deep red Kansas!

[lunasun]

We really need a "womp womp" emoticon . . .

[Brother Buzz]

20. "The small rally sizes are intentional effort to make voter turnout a grassroots affair"

[Ilsa]

32. Yeah, the guy bent over

is checking his ankle monitor and the dude in front of him is peeing in the corner!

[ADX]

53. +1...

...The Twitter thread is hilarious...

[Uben]

17. They probably hired 25 or 30

..but that's what showed up!

[JDC]

21. What a Pathetic Sot

[ret5hd]

22. Someone should have informed all the Topeka homeless population.

"Free coffee and sweet rolls down at the Holiday Inn!!!"

[Scurrilous]

24. Yet the 'liberal' media keeps inviting him to their events...

Steve Bannon Will Still Attend BBC-Hosted Debate Despite Backlash, Organisers Say

<snip>

"Former Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon is still invited to attend a BBC-hosted conference, despite a backlash over his inclusion.

Bannon, who quit the White House after seven months as a senior counsellor to the US president, will speak at the News Xchange event in Edinburgh next month.

His invitation prompted Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to pull out of the conference, citing Bannon’s “far right, racist views”.

Sturgeon confirmed her decision on Saturday, saying that while she believes “passionately in free speech”, her role requires her to “make balanced judgments”.

<snip>

"Sturgeon said the BBC described Bannon in an email explanation as a “powerful and influential figure... promoting an anti-elite movement”.

[Wounded Bear]

27. Much easier to get folks to "flock" to you on the internets...

IRL, maybe not so easy.

Bannon is kind of in the middle somewhere. No liberal would be seen going to an event with him, while he's probably on the outs with most Trumplodytes, too because of how his split with Trump went.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

28. I heard 15 of the 17 people weren't there for the rally

They thought Murph and the Magic Tones were playing at the lounge!

[Roland99]

29. Spinal Tap had more than that for their Jazz Odyssey....

[ProudLib72]

31. What's that guy in the background doing? Is he taking a leak at the breakfast?

Steve looks like he must have slept in his car to keep costs down. What a frickin loser!

[3Hotdogs]

43. He's go his dong out and he's filling the coffee pot. What ya can't see that? Ya need new glasses.

[DesertRat]

33. He always looks so slovenly

[alphafemale]

34. This is like the kid whose parent's throw him a birthday party with pony rides.

And a bottomless ice cream truck... and a pool...and a free bike as a party favor.


But still not one kid shows up.


Because birthday boy really IS that much of a jerk to all the other kids.

His teacher doesn't even show up even though promised a Lexus.

[smirkymonkey]

35. 17 People at a Topeka Holiday Inn for a Free Continental Breakfast?

OMG, it doesn't get anymore pathetic than that!

[Initech]

49. I'd be more curious as to how the breakfast was.

Although hotel breakfast buffets really aren't exactly known for quality.

[Demovictory9]

36. Lots of elbow room

[Wednesdays]

38. Only 17 protesters?

We've got to turn up the heat a bit.

[dawg]

39. The carpet's kinda groovy ...

but where's the machine that lets me make my own waffle?

[sprinkleeninow]

42. I need to add my WAAH

WAAHMP WAAHMP

😝

[tinrobot]

44. I suspect at least half only came for the free food.

[Initech]

47. Next thing you know he'll be playing puppet shows and petting zoos!

[MineralMan]

50. Who''s that guy peeing in the corner?

And the blonde in the MAGA hat.

Even more interesting, why is that man bending over. does he have to fart?

[Chipper Chat]

52. It was the largest gathering to ever witness a Bannon event..

PERIOD.

[struggle4progress]

54. This year, seventeen people! Next year, eighteen! The year after, nineteen!

Like the saying says, it's growing like a snowball rolling down to hell!

[RandiFan1290]

57. Garcon, 1 admission for the continental breakfast

[Mopar151]

58. Not a good time of day for Bannon supporters.

The undead cannot be about in daylight, the pervs can't miss the kids going to school. Most of the rest of his "base" has to go in early, to fire up the boiler and turn on the lights.

[Act_of_Reparation]

60. How many were like, "I'm just here for the continental breakfast."

I'm fortunate to never have been so hungry I would entertain Steve Bannon just to get some food in my belly, but let none say I am not an empathetic guy.

[ProfessorGAC]

61. He Was Never As Influential As Advertised

Even the Maggats don't care about him, and they never did.

[tirebiter]

62. We need someone like Dick Tuck to makethis more fun.

According to legend, during a whistle-stop train tour on the same campaign, Tuck disguised himself as a conductor and ordered Nixon’s train to pull away from the station just as Nixon had begun a speech to the crowd.

Tuck would've gotten a bus, picked up bums with a promise of a continental breakfast and taken them to Bannon's event.

[lame54]

63. that guy's peeing on Bannon's chair
