Bannon goes off the rails after yesterday's J6 hearing, Mediaite reports...

[allegorical oracle]

A couple of his quotes:

"Pray for our enemies, okay? Pray because we're going medieval on these people. We're going to savage our enemies."

Later, he added, "I can take the oath on Zoom, deliver that and we'll see how good you are little Jamie Raskin and Liz Cheney and all of it -- serve it up!"

1. Wtf!? Somebody interpret that last statement for me please.

[allegorical oracle]

2. He still wants to testify...he requests a Bible to take the oath (via Zoom) and he'll presumably

proceed to terrify every/anybody he can.

[Whiskeytide]

4. Simple. "I ate mushrooms." n/t

[halobeam]

16. hahahaha

[2naSalit]

8. Here...

[FalloutShelter]

10. Hysterical

[allegorical oracle]

14. Perfection! lmao. n/t

[karin_sj]

27. Glad I was between sips of my coffee...

... as I was reading this!

[DiamondShark]

44. He want's zoom so he can live stream to an audience. n/t

[2naSalit]

3. He's never going to be...

Testifying live on teevee ever. He's just giving voice to one of his alcohol fueled wet dreams.

[Beachnutt]

5. He can testify to j6 on zoom

right after his trial from his jail cell

[Buns_of_Fire]

7. Sounds like a challenge.

Okay, so haul his bloated manly-man ass before the committee and let's just see who eviscerates who.

Steve-o doesn't seem to understand that he doesn't get to set the terms, here.

[FalloutShelter]

9. More violent shit talk.

Lock these bastards up.

[Novara]

11. Guess he's really rattled

Is he really that big a player to the J6 committee? I wonder if they really need his testimony. That would really make his head explode - if they said nope, we don't need to talk to you after all.

[brush]

20. All he would do is lie and spew violent ralking points

No thanks, Stevile boy. You are not needed.

Do not pass Go, go directly to jail, as your court date next wekk has not been postponed due to this cute little maneuver of offering to testify.

Nice try though.

[Zambero]

22. Yes, along the lines of how Gym Jordan would have "performed"

Why bring in Alt-Right performance clowns when sworn testimony from legitimate witnesses connects the dots?

[Novara]

38. Exactly

He seems to think he's more important than he is. It would be a slap in the face if the committee decided they didn't need to hear from him.

I doubt he'd give them anything they don't already know, and he'd be sticking his middle finger up at the whole process anyway. Between pleading the 5th he'd just be spewing hate towards the committee.

So fuck him.

[Rebl2]

32. Rattled

because he has to go to trial next week?

[Deminpenn]

39. It would be interesting to hear what he and Trump talked about

in those couple of phone calls on Jan 5th or 6th that were revealed yesterday.

But Bannon's a blowhard. When confronted by real authority, he caves.

[usajumpedtheshark]

12. He finally figured out he wasn't going to get a plea deal, eh?

[Quakerfriend]

13. He continues to try to fuel chaos and violence

from behind a mic.

He needs to be hauled into prison & soon.

[PCIntern]

15. All Pulp Fiction fans unite:

He’s gonna look even worse in an orange jumpsuit.

[brush]

17. Fu_k off, Bannon. No one is going to let you spew extremist...

right wing, insurrectionist crap on live TV.

Dream on, buddy, keep making your podcast threats while you can because you're going to jaid and there will be no pardon to save you this time because your orange turd hero is no longer president and is likely to join you in jail as some point.

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. He is beyond awful. nt

[OneGrassRoot]

19. In all seriousness...

and I've said that before, the Trumpist "political enemies" are literally in danger. If these people aren't held accountable and their rhetoric muted, and if heaven forbid the GQP gets more power after mid-terms, Cheney and Raskin and the dozens of others perceived as their enemies are in grave danger. Bannon isn't joking. These people want public executions.

In addition to saving our democracy, all of the high-profile people known as enemies to Trumpism hopefully are really pushing for indictments because their lives are in danger. Hopefully they see it that way too because this isn't a joke even though Bannon and the others are easy to mock.

They're delusional and dangerous.

[Maeve]

21. I think the term is "whistling past the graveyard"

He's going to jail and he knows it.

[Botany]

23. Bannon wants no part of Jamie Raskinin in a civil or criminal trial setting (or a public hearing)

From Wiki

Early life and career

Jamin Ben Raskin[2] was born to a Jewish family in Washington, D.C. on December 13, 1962, to Barbara (née Bellman) Raskin and Marcus Raskin. His mother was a journalist and novelist,[7] and his father was a former staff aide to President John F. Kennedy on the National Security Council, co-founder of the Institute for Policy Studies, and a progressive activist.[8][9] Raskin graduated from Georgetown Day School in 1979 at age 16. He graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard College in 1983 with a Bachelor of Arts in government with concentration in political theory. In 1987, he received a J.D. degree magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review.[10]

Raskin was a constitutional law professor at American University Washington College of Law for more than 25 years,[11] where he taught future fellow impeachment manager Stacey Plaskett.[12] He co-founded and directed the LL.M. program on law and government and co-founded the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project.[5][6] From 1989 to 1990, Raskin served as general counsel for Jesse Jackson's National Rainbow Coalition.[13] In 1996, he represented Ross Perot regarding Perot's exclusion from the 1996 United States presidential debates. Raskin wrote a Washington Post op-ed that strongly condemned the Federal Election Commission and the Commission on Presidential Debates for their decisions.[14]

26. Wow, that's some resume!

I had no idea he was so talented and smart! I’ve been impressed with him since the impeachment times but that history is amazing. So sad about his son.

Bannon is a blowhard like 45. They are one and the same. Both ugly humans. Inside and out.

[Botany]

36. Our team is way deep w/talent

Chrissy Houlahan .... her bio is wild.

Meanwhile the other side has Marsha Blackburn, Louie Gohmert, and Boebert.

[LittleGirl]

40. It's amazing how bad they are on the other side eom

[Paladin]

24. Just more right-wing death threats, which the media will continue to ignore.

Gotta rant about the stock market and fragile old Joe's visit to Israel, instead.

[Wednesdays]

25. Such a contrite disposition.

[C_U_L8R]

28. Threatening further violence

Just makes you look more guilty, bonehead.

[marmar]

29. That man needs a psychiatrist and a bar of soap.

[Ilsa]

30. He needs to try drying out for a few hours in front of J6. Afterall,

I doubt his favorite whiskey/bourbon/scotch will be available st the prison commissary.

[Irish_Dem]

31. Captured criminals are often defiant and hostile.

Until reality sinks in.

[Tadpole Raisin]

33. So if his max penalty is 2 years in prison for his contempt charges, is it possible the feds request

More prison time due to his not so thinly veiled threats as he waited for the trial to begin.

First amendment not withstanding it seems to me he has been very aggressive and threatening. If prosecutors can ask for more jail time how much time and where is the line he would have to cross by making all his crazy accusations and threats.

Of course with our luck if he is found guilty he’ll only get 3 months for each count. He could handle that. He’d love being the martyr who didn’t give in to the ‘deep state’ and he’d shoot his mouth off even more.

Please tell me more time could be tacked on!

[TeamProg]

34. He now sounds like a Christian crusader or religious WINGNUT! n/t

[AngryOldDem]

35. Same shit these fuckers spewed prior to Jan. 6.

They will not be happy until blood runs in the streets.

[gratuitous]

37. Shouldn't you be preparing for your trial, Rumpled Thinskin?

It starts Monday, July 18, in case you've forgotten.

[Talitha]

41. His 'posturing' talk reminds me of -

When a Dog poops and then kicks up the grass.

Much the same as when Repugs fling their poo.

But with a bit more showmanship.



Have another snort, Stevie!!

[Hotler]

42. Steve, maybe you forgot who Liz's dad is. Have you ever heard the term;

extraordinary rendition? Have you ever been to the Mideast? do you like real long plane rides, like the water?

[JuJuChen]

43. loving how the committee won't let him testify live
