1. where's a rotten tomato when you need one?

[wnylib]

9. Well, you can toss TFG, if you can lift him.

He's rotten enough.

[Jerry2144]

16. I have access to a 30 ton mobile crane

IT might lift TFG

[geardaddy]

21. I prefer a rotten cabbage

they can do more damage.

[orangecrush]

25. Rotten big macs

And KFC

[Ohio Joe]

2. Heh... Too funny

[blogslug]

3. You've been waiting for this I see

[Pinback]

4. In keeping with his hygiene standards (nt)

[H2O Man]

5. Very good!

Recommended.

[malaise]

6. Ha

[Ligyron]

20. That's a really good caricature of that idiot.

Looks just like him.

[William769]

7. Today is a good day!

[Tickle]

8. I hope he has a good summer

he'll find out Oct 21 how much time he's going to do. A week before the elections. I bet he's hoping repubs win LOL

[Elessar Zappa]

11. Even if Republicans win in November,

they can’t do anything to help Bannon.

[Tickle]

12. right he would need a presidential pardon

and that's not happening.

If republicans win they can stop the Jan 6 stuff and of course they will start investigations in
1. impeach Biden
2. mess with Hunter Biden

anyone care to add?
I'm sure there is more.

They won't legislate which is what they are suppose to do. It's just going to be a smorkishboard of BS and this is why we must vote like our lives depend on it. I don't want to hear from anyone why they didn't vote

[FBaggins]

31. I'm not entirely certain that's true

The DOJ is still running the prosecution... but what happens if he appeals and by the time that case is heard the House has passed a resolution "admitting" that the commission was invalid and retracting both the subpoenas and the referral?

[Tickle]

36. Wow now that's something

I haven't entertained. I guess we'll see

[Kingofalldems]

13. How will that help him?

[not fooled]

10. As the great Charlie Pierce pointed out

apparently Bennon's idea of going medieval is to take a vow of silence:

I guess his idea of "going medieval" is to imitate the hermit friars of St. Augustine, without the inconvenience of all those Bibles.

[allegorical oracle]

15. How 'bout drawing and quartering? nt

[Marthe48]

46. I thought going medieval was being unwashed and ignorant

Solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short (Thomas Hobbes)

[BComplex]

14. Hahahaha!!!

[C_U_L8R]

17. So, can the Committee send him a new subpoena?

Seems we could do this all day long if Bannon wants try his luck again. Wanna make it 4 counts, G.Blossom?

[Baggies]

18. Bannon has become a martyr

To his supporters.

Sometimes it’s nothing, sometimes it’s something.

I find it odd since all he to do was enact his 5th Amendment right and they couldn’t do anything. He didn’t even offer a defense. Something tells me long range plans are part of the equation, because most he can get is a year likely in a ritzy Club Fed.

[orangecrush]

24. Bannon will be meeting a lot of his supporters

In jail and in hell.

Welcome to DU!

[calimary]

26. Hey! Welcome to DU, Baggies!

You actually make a relevant point here. He's gonna use this to his advantage in ANY way he can. He has welded-in-place fans as ardent as the ones double-bolted to the donald. They're basically "the Unreachables." And most of 'em, I suspect, will never cave.

This old lady has observed over the years that one thing is clear in human nature: NOBODY wants to admit they were wrong, much less that they've been ROYALLY HAD. And these pathetic losers have been HAD at the end of a fork.

[Baggies]

29. Thx for the welcome

[TeamProg]

19. If it fits...

[calimary]

22. THAT'S the kind!

Have some "medieval," Stevie-boy.

[orangecrush]

23. ROTFLMAO

[GoCubsGo]

27. Can we mount that thing on a flatbed truck and drive him around the country?

And, let everyone throw rotten tomatoes at him?

[ChazII]

50. We should. n/t

[KY_EnviroGuy]

28. Medieval cosplay will be soooo much fun in prison!

KY........

[Peacetrain]

30. +1000

[FailureToCommunicate]

32. In his case, I wish humiliation in public stocks was still a thing.

But we'd have to stand up-wind!

[Martin68]

34. You got that right! I'd be bringing a bag of rotten eggs, rotten tomatoes, and maybe some ripe fish

to send his way.

[Martin68]

33. LOL!

[Faux pas]

35. Lol

[Rhiannon12866]

37. K&R! Now if only we could find a way to prevent him from sounding off!

[Blue Owl]

38. Shoulda Photoshopped in a bunch of flies and buzzards

[Aussie105]

39. Bannon has been running on one idea for years now.

That Reality is flexible, and that he is free to substitute his Reality for the real Reality.

Let's see where that idea leads him.

[Marcuse]

40. That's Early American, not necessarily medieval. There are more ... appropriate punishments.

On the other hand, Bannon started out in stocks with Goldman Sachs so…..

[Warpy]

49. We're essentially on the same page

See #48.

42. Yeah, that "Medieval" Shit Sure

Came Back to Bite him in his Medieval Stupid Ass!

Focus!
Please Fight to Save Our Democracy💙 in 2022 & 2024!

[central scrutinizer]

44. Medieval always makes me think of Pulp Fiction

“pliers and a blowtorch”

[LiberalFighter]

45. I was hoping it was humor. Thank you

[orthoclad]

47. "medieval" might mean

not taking a bath, like in the good old days. 1776!

[Warpy]

48. Naw, THIS is mediaeval

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scold%27s_bridle

Note this applied overwhelmingly to women. I guess male scolds and brawlers were considered too godly.

[Darkstar53142]

51. I was going to comment how shocked I am with how they tortured Bannon...

...then I realized that's how he normally looks.
