Steve Bannon strikes defiant tone after arrest: ‘Honey badger doesn’t give’

Steve Bannon strikes defiant tone after arrest: ‘Honey badger doesn’t give’
Steve Bannon on Friday vowed to fight on after being arrested for allegedly diverting money meant for a privately funded border wall for personal expenses, labeling his indictment a “political hit job."


RNC 2020 Slogan:

“If you ain’t indicted, you ain’t invited” - Travis Allen





The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump

I wish Trump would get deeply involved with QAnon because then it would only be a matter of time before it is bankrupt. - Andy Borowitz





Problematic Pompous Pompeo
The U.S. Navy flagged a “problematic” request from the State Department in 2018 asking for Secretary Mike Pompeo to receive military housing, according to a memo obtained by the watchdog group American Oversight.
The May 2018 document noted there “might be a negative public perception relating to a civilian Secretary of State displacing a uniformed member of the military in a tight housing market.”

I Don't Know Who I Dislike More, George W. Bush or Sen. Susan Collins
Former President George W. Bush on Friday backed Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine in his first public endorsement of the 2020 election cycle.
Bush has largely stayed out of the political fray since he left the White House in 2009, and his endorsement is a welcome boost for Collins, who is waging her most difficult campaign yet as she seeks a fifth term.

Steve Bannon Got Busted By the Postal Service Police

Steve Bannon Got Busted By the Postal Service Police. Well Played, Irony.
Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Audrey Strauss said Bannon, Brian Kolfage, Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea were arrested Thursday morning. Bannon, 66, is set to appear before a federal judge in Manhattan. The four men are accused of defrauding hundreds of thousands of people who donated to the "We Build the Wall" fundraising campaign that raked in more than $25 million to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the indictment. Federal prosecutors said that while donors were assured 100% of the money raised would be used to build the wall, those claims were false.


So obviously money laundering and fraud and scamming charities are all serious crimes, but... there’s a small part of me laughing at the fact that a bunch of anti-immigrant bigots were the ones who got scammed. - RVAwonk tweet

One Of The Many Reasons Trump Is Afraid Of Putin

“We assume that Alexei was poisoned with something mixed into his tea,” his press secretary, Kira Yarmysh, tweeted. “That was the only thing he drank this morning. The doctors say that the toxin was absorbed more quickly because of the hot liquid. Right now Alexei is unconscious.”
