Friend to pedophiles, Steve Bannon?

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 hours ago

Steve Bannon's liver should have rebelled against him years ago, leaped straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Maybe it did and that's why he's like this

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 hours ago

What up with these dictator wannabees and their weird ass mouths? Trump has the same no lips thing going on, it looks creepy af

Having said that, hang this traitorous fascist

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 hours ago

If ICE detains an American citizen trying to vote, that person better sue the federal government out of existence. We just need to start over at this point.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

There is no “proposal” this will happen.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 day ago

I'm so amazed at all these old fucks throwing one dictatorship idea after the other and their followers all think it's great!

Imagine this headline: Obama proposes using ICE in elections

I meant it wouldn't make sense of course, but go with it....

Imagine THAT headline and the response from the Republicans.

They would go batshit insane and for once be right about it as well.

But here we are, all accusations are confessions and the democratic party in that shit hole country seems to be fine with it all.

Amazing, no other words. Just "Amazing"

There has never been stronger antiTrump sentiment than there is right now... don't ignore the gains

[-] baller_w@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

Identity politics is a hell of a drug

[-] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

They are a loud minority, don't let them intimidate you.

[-] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 88 points 1 day ago

Steve Bannon, Jeffrey Epstein's PR guru who knowingly helped distract from the child-rape and trafficking? That Steve Bannon?

[-] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 44 points 1 day ago

Steve Bannon, the guy who joked about pedos with his best bud Jeffrey Espstein and tried to make an entire PR recovery documentary for him? I think that guy.

[-] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 90 points 1 day ago

That's one of the best arguments I've seen so far for dissolving them entirely and immediately

[-] northendtrooper@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago

And do ICE as well.

Immigration Customs Enforcement

So, in regards to voting, what customs or immigration is involved in an election? Steve Bannon is leading an idiocracy. They shoulda trapped him in Biosphere 2 and thrown away the fucking key.

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

To "Stop illegals from voting", probably. Coming up with an excuse is easy for them these days - it doesn't have to make sense, it just have to be in line with established talking points.

If you're brown or have some other shade of tinted skin, think twice before voting. That's not my recommendation, that's the actual effect they're after.

[-] hector@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

That is just to start with one effect. They want to corrupt all aspects. Openly, and our opposition to them have been ignoring it despite the existential threat to the republic it is. Hard to know what to do now, something more extreme than it would've been in 2021 if the politicians did their goddamned duty instead of selling out to their donors.

[-] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Can someone tell me why this senile old fuck is still relevant? Why should anyone care about what he has to say?

[-] realitista@lemmus.org 5 points 16 hours ago

Because he's basically announcing what the administration will try to do.

[-] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

They ain't exactly keeping anything a secret anymore.

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago

And what would ICE do at election booths, Steve?

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 28 points 1 day ago

Clearly, shoot people in the back if they didn't vote correctly.

[-] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago

Intimidate, harass, arrest, and cause enough turmoil to hand Trump the reasoning he’s looking for to sew doubt and complicate/confuse the results. That’s what this whole ‘investigation’ in Georgia is about, this is what he means by ‘Republicans taking over the elections’, etc.

[-] hector@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago

Shoot people in the back? Beat them up, pepper spray them, pump it full of tear gas, grab voting machines and ballots, you know.

They are betting the democrats won't stop them with their own state workers, and are testing the waters now to see how it plays, with their base.

Democrats need to protect states' rights. 10th Amendment, knowing they want to use the military to seize voting equipment, they should have cops, national guards, and miliias in place to prevent them from getting anywhere near voting centers in democratic districts in blue states.

This is their most basic, fundamental duty as a state official, having taken an oath to protect and defend the constitition of the US and of their State, both of which REQUIRE them to prevent the feds from overthrowing democracy in their state under their watch in all but name to permanently put the worst people in the world in charge.

It's in their power, it's their duty, and they have the population behind them. We just need some real leaders, and some outside of politics for the moment too, perhaps even anonymous leaders to prevent the feds persecuting them ahead of time, it really is going to be like that, but we can still stop them in 2028, we are stronger than they are, we just need to organize and fight under real leaders with a winning plan, that know how to build and run a political machine.

Keep the "wrong sort" of people from voting.

[-] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

Steve Bannon belong is jail. Full stop.

[-] boaratio@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

He was in jail for a short while. His buddy pardoned him though.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 day ago

Fuck this paedophile. He was bad enough before, when his quite close relationship with Epstein wasn’t confirmed. I hope he contracts acute lead poisoning.

[-] dreamkeeper@literature.cafe 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This traitor has been openly advocating for sedition for years. Biden was such a fucking chump. These senior Democrats actually believe that MAGA is just a phase that will go away in its own. Pelosi even said as much.

The sentence Bannon deserved to get was unpardonable. Not four fucking months.

[-] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

Some may say, uh, lead deficiency is an epidemic right now.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 26 points 1 day ago

I believe most evil is a product of architecture not individuals but Steve Bannon is a nice reminder that unbelievably, comically evil people DO exist.

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

This is literally what I was saying the other day. With their "no warrant" arrests and their "grab whoever looks illegal" they're just going to stop any non-white people from voting entirely...

But Biden was a dictator for trying to get student loan forgiveness....

/Wrist

This is why any white person that doesn't want to get counted with these goons needs to step up and force ICE to deal with them instead of the folks they are targeting because THAT is what gets enough rage and attention on this issue for things to happen.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 10 points 1 day ago

How does somebody who looks that sick be that alive?

[-] deliriousdreams@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago

How did he ever think he was the exemplar human male of the species?

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 4 hours ago

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 4 hours ago

He's a brine blooded American alright.

[-] santa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

We all need to buy identical T* masks and wear white gloves, or show up in ICE gear, along with ICE masks, so they don’t know who is who.

[-] Marthirial@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

They will be used in elections, asshole. People will remember how ICE was the GOP wannabe fascist paramilitary and vote them out of office.

[-] whereIsTamara@lemmy.org 5 points 1 day ago

Gee, called that. 🙄

Good luck voting ever again.

[-] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

This dude is a clown and doesn’t even deserve a headline. Waiting for him to be irrelevant- except for all his ties to Epstein.

[-] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

He's the only reason the president won in 2016, but his platform has been thoroughly repudiated by the party that is handling the president that saw him off right quick. But he's got dirt on the president too so he can get a pardon.

No more America First, the president is now playing use the military to benefit the rich and connected again, or the party is as he tweedles his thumbs and shits his pants and takes naps during meetings.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Get wrecked, Steve.
