Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of Donald Trump, vowed investigations and prosecutions of those who have probed the former president and his political allies, declaring at a conservative gathering Saturday that Inauguration Day in 2025 will be “accountability day.”
Pointing to Trump’s recent conviction in New York, Bannon told a crowd at Turning Point Action’s “The People’s Convention” in Detroit, hours before Trump was scheduled to speak, that the former president’s allies are going to “get every single receipt.”
“You are going to be investigated, prosecuted and incarcerated,” he said. “This has nothing to do with retribution. It has nothing to do with revenge. Because retribution and revenge might be another order of magnitude. This has to do with justice.”
Bannon was referring to recent comments by Trump vowing to be his supporters’ “retribution” and saying that “sometimes revenge can be justified.”
How do people not see the parallels with other fascist regimes??
Because they don’t know what a “fascist regime” is. They’re dumb.
Confirmation bias makes an incredible set of blinders.
“Because this time its MY people owning the power! So that makes it okay!” - Average Conservative voter, assuming they were capable of thinking long enough to create a coherent thought.
VOTE
Abstaining isn’t voting for Trump.
It’s refusing to stand in his way.
Republicans are counting on your indifference.
I am 110% in favor of breaking the two party stranglehold. It’s long overdue. It needs to end yesterday.
But hot fuck, this is LITERALLY THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME to vote third party. I read here and on Reddit that people are promising to vote third party because Biden hasn’t personally solved the middle east conflict or whatever, but doing that in the presidential election amounts to screaming “fuck yeah I love Trump and everything he stands for”.
Vote Biden or vote Trump. There is no third choice. Doing literally anything else is a vote for Trump.

We most likely just need to hold on for another 4-8 years. Demographics are not in the Republican’s favor. Every year more and more conservative boomers die and they’re not being replaced.
Another million votes for Biden in a bright blue state like California isn’t going to swing the election in Arizona or Georgia.
Meanwhile, the DOJ has done dick all to defend voting rights in purple or red states over the last four years.
My goddamn vote in Florida will cancel out one moron’s vote.
Trump won Florida by a 4% margin in a state that has some of the most aggressive disenfranchisement laws in the country.
A shame Biden’s DOJ couldn’t do anything to roll that back. But maybe your vote will make the difference.
Dude I live in a semi-rural area of California, please vot for the local elections you motherfuckers. Every bit helps on that front.
please vot for the local elections you motherfuckers
Helpful to know who you’re voting for. We got screwed in Houston when Democrats turned out in support of veteran Dem State Senator John Whitmire, and he ended up being very friendly with Republican governor Greg Abbott.
Thats one of the risks ya run with, the Republicans are running controlled opposition/plants but that isnt a thing to cause one not to vote. It shows a certain amount of weakness and even desperation.
I remember the BLM marches through Houston and the violent police response. Police smashing up people’s cars. Police firing beanbag rounds into crowds of elderly folks and children. Police rounding hundreds of people up in Discovery Green Park and arresting them on trespassing charges.
You can call that desperate, but it worked. Four years later, the police budget is even bigger and there’s an ambient terror in the streets as massive tank-like vans periodically drive through the center of town.
Conservatives have this city on lockdown. I don’t see anyone voting their way out of this vice grip.
Isn’t this dipshit supposed to be in prison right now?
He’s currently pleading that he shouldn’t have to report to prison because he’s too busy campaigning for Donald Trump.
The courts are taking this objection seriously.
Must be nice to have this kind of privilege
How is this vampire ghoul not in prison?
He has to report by July 7th IIRC
Just curious, does it work this way for regular people? It seems like the justice system really puts on the kid gloves for these right wing shitbags.
Over 90% of cases end in plea bargains, with convicts reporting directly to prison from the court room. Others are remanded into police custody immediately following the verdict.
If you have money, you can delay imprisonment during the appeals process. And that process can be dragged out indefinitely with enough friendly judges.
What makes Bannon so sure he would be one to benefit from a second Trump presidency? He could just as well be persecuted. Trump shows no allegiance to anyone and is happy to throw his supporters under the bus when expedient.
Trump was happy enough to pardon a host of Republican donors and political allies before he left office in 2020.

Bannon is at least as likely to get a pardon as Roger Stone was.
Nah that won’t end badly for the country as a whole. This won’t be used when democrats get back into power. Nah.
If Trump gets in, it may very well turn into a totalitarian single party system.
Their idea is that democrats won’t get back into power.
