So Bannon was arrested on a yacht where he "had been living for months"

and I heard something this morning when he was talking on another yacht some time ago.

My question is Is Bannon just a mooch or is he actually homeless? He looks homeless, like someone who does not have frequent access to a shower or bath.

1st, he's just hiding out from COVID-19 and has a billionaire friend to mooch a hideout from. Remember back in Feb & March there were stories of all the private jets and yachts leaving. The billionaires have been hiding out.

2nd, the billionaire whose yacht it was is a Chinese criminal who is on the "most-wanted" list in China. So he's probably a part of whatever corruption Bannon has been working on.

That yacht isn’t a bad idea when it comes to isolating in a virus. It’s a pretty nice “boat” too. I’d spend months on it if I could virus or not.

I'd love to see Jeff Bridges do him alongside Alec Baldwin's trump.

And frankly that’s not a bad idea in a pandemic - once you get everyone on board you are as isolated as YOU want to be.

The Chinese guy is pretty rich. 73 most wealthy in China before he had to get out of town.

Lots of crime lords do their business at sea. Makes surveillance tougher.
