About time.
This made my day!
Per Kyle Cheney:
>Bannon’s sentence for defying the Jan. 6 committee’s subpoena has been on hold while he appealed. Today, Judge Nichols (a Trump appointee) ruled that the original reasons for staying the sentence no longer be er applied. Bannon’s sentence would run through early November.
How come rich people get a “pretty please” due date for prison? Why aren’t they kicking his door down and locking him up immediately?
For many many years of lying and pushing false narratives he gets 4 months.
Its getting pretty easy these days

Thoughts and prayers
It’s so weird how the Bannon, Stone, Flynn, Manafort and Papadopoulos pardons and clemencies are just forgotten.
Honestly, this alone may be the most egregious and blatant example of corruption by an American President in history – and it never gets mentioned.
How does Bannon’s name EVER get mentioned without this coming up?
That phrase “It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy” fits so many different contexts.
Handsomest man in the liquor store
His detox in jail is gonna be lit AF!!!
Beautiful
Why the fuck is Bannon always wearing 3 shirts… and often a jacket?
Sure are a lot of criminals in Trump’s orbit….
4 months. One for every shirt.
Jesus Christ… the SOB’s handcuffed me and hauled me in one evening during a traffic stop because I had a $5 warrant charge from a ticket I paid two days late three years earlier… and I wasn’t even driving!!! How the hell do these assholes get weeks and months to prepare?
Congrats to Steve Bannon on his upcoming 4 months of sobriety!
[Here is a reminder from 2018](https://www.politico.eu/article/christopher-wylie-to-us-lawmakers-steve-bannon-ordered-vladimir-putin-messaging-tests-russia-cambridge-analytica/) that Steve Bannon was behind Cambridge Analytica’s efforts to help Trump steal the 2016 election.
> Bannon did not care if information spread by Cambridge Analytica was incorrect… He called Cambridge Analytica a “full service propaganda machine.”
While Trump claims that Russia’s war in Ukraine wouldn’t have happened on his watch, remember that the [2016 Trump campaign was asking focus groups](https://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/25/wylie-bannon-putin-messages-553738) how they felt about Putin’s desire to expand Russia’s borders.
> Under Bannon’s instruction, the firm discussed Putin with focus groups and was ‘also testing images of Vladimir Putin and asking questions about Russian expansion in Eastern Europe.’
I’m curious if MAGAs get bullied in prison because of their political views?
Fun reminders in light of this wonderful news:
– Bannon has a trial for the “Build the Wall” campaign in which he fleeced Trump supporters out of millions of dollars scheduled for September 23rd.
– An associate of Bannon has already been imprisoned for it.
– This conviction will make his sentencing worse.
– The charges are felonies and much more serious than what he’s facing with contempt of Congress.
– They are state crimes that cannot be pardoned by a President.
– The prosecutor is Alvin Bragg and the judge is Merchan.

Why wait? Go pick his ass up right now.
If there are people in US politics that should rot in jail its Bannon and Stone
“He’s leaving (leaving), on that midnight plane to Moscow”.
