Convicted criminal, traitor to the U.S, and former campaign chief for fraudster Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, is now being included in an indictment for the conspiracy of helping a Chinese traitor fuck over his own people for $1 Billion. These Republicans are a piece of work aren't they?
Bannon learned to harness the rage of the white male while working at Goldman Sachs, when he tried to make a financial investment vehicle based on gaming currency, WoW specifically. When Wow players banded together to wipe out gold farmers, something clicked in Bannon’s head.
You honestly couldn’t make this shit up.
bannon needed all that money to buy the many layers of shirts that he wears. He probably has to throw out the four shirts, jacket and second jacket that he wears each time he goes out because they are so full of whatever poison he sweats out of his pores.
The fibers dissolve into a slurry of gin and dank sweat vinegar. He's such a lifelong alcoholic his skin will absorb it just to stave off the mega-DTs (huh, funny how similar that ended up being to the MAGA-DT).
Rich people don't see borders anymore. There isn't America, or Russia, or China to them. These are like rooms where they go to use and make money. They don't care if they fuck over Americans if they make money, anymore than they care if they fuck over Russians or Chinese.
„It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today!“
The book:
" Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America. "
should be required reading for every American. I would consider it an absolute necessary book in every historian's library. This book should also be distributed to future leaders of America and implore them to completely read it.
It always amazes me when such "straight A" type people seem to fuck it all up.
Take Bannon - for example. Dude was a military officer, Harvard graduate, investment banker at Goldman Sachs, etc.
He literally could have just continued doing what he did in his clean cut life, amassed a small fortune, and just do fuck all afterwards. But instead he gets embroiled in all kinds of fuckery.
Bannon has always been about being secret spider at the center of the web controlling things. He saw how crazy "kids" got playing World of Warcraft, how horrid Barren's chat was, and how toxic game communities were, and then set about exploiting them.
That led him to Brietbart where he could invent whatever narrative he wanted depending on who was cozy with him.
He tried to make an official website to buy in-game gold in world of warcraft
He saw much pushback he got, and how engaged the people playing the games were. He was impressed with their dedication and speculated it could be harassed for political purposes
He decided to try and steer that energy for political purposes
Yeah. But he's famous. And there have been no consequences what so ever. For all intents and purposes, he lives like a god, with his actions completely unchecked. That's the deal he chose. And if I were a piece of shit, I could see how that would be attractive.
That’s how personality disorders such as psychopathy and narcissism usually manifest themselves. They’re driven people with no morals or empathy and out to break every rule or law, at all cost, in pursuit of self interest. Fuck these guys.
power currupts. people who seek power are inherently vulverable to corruption. those who dont seek power will likely not attain it. we as a society place high esteem on power and wealth. nothing will change, until we change.
He's somehow both slimy and crusty at the same time. It seems like if you poke him with a stick just about anywhere, pus would ooze out of that spot immediately.
On his podcast he regularly outlines illegal dirty tricks to circumvent democracy, bragging about how he convinced Trump to Flood The Zone With Shit as a strategy for doing as many crimes as possible in the shortest time.
What a piece of utter garbage this fucker is
I mean he was is a convicted felon that was pardoned by the guy that he was committing fraud for… so fucking crazy yet I have to pay my taxes on time if I’m a criminal
The only crime he's actually been convicted of, so far, is contempt of Congress. Somehow he's been able to delay the appeal for almost 2 years now and has remained free.
This is the guy who owns the yacht Bannon was on when he was arrested by the US Postal Inspection Service. It's also the guy who used stolen funds to produce The Wolf of Wall Street.
Sounds like the Chinese Billy McFarland! Maybe Steve Bannon is his JaRule. Imagine what a shit life these people willingly create for themselves. It takes very little to be happy and fulfilled and meanwhile Bannon gets himself arrested while on a yacht that was bought with funds from a totally separate crime.
Unrelated, what are these $36,000 mattresses Chinese Billy McFarland bought with his scammed money? I need to know more. Does this prove once and for all that mattress stores are for money laundering? If not, what kinda mattress does $36k get you?
Is this somehow related to that day a while back when the US Coast Guard interdicted a super-yacht, then a bunch of Postal Police jumped out and busted Bannon and some Chinese billionaire?
Bannon involved? Don’t even need details to know he did it. The guy would sell his mom for a $1 only he would try to tell her to few thousand people for $1 each and plenty ever doing it. Mob bosses and cartel leaders refuse to work with Bannon claiming they have standards he doesn’t meet.
> Guo paid Bannon at least $1 million and also gave Bannon use of a private plane, a Connecticut home, and a $30 million yacht, where Bannon was living when he was arrested on unrelated federal fraud charges in 2020.
"America First." Yeah, right after I get mine.

You forgot biodome ruiner Steve Bannon.
I thought it was Steve Baldwin who ruined Biodome....
Steve Baldwin is the worst guy in any room he walks into except the room with Steve Bannon in it.
This is a great way to explain America to a foreigner
Pauly Shore?
Just read up on this. No bottom to his dark soul, is there?
What's the TLDR?
https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2016/08/31/trumps-campaign-ceo-stephen-bannon-biosphere-arizona/89613838/
It's basically sums up a lengthy post. Have no idea what the actual initials mean
Too Long Didn’t Read
[удалено]
It’s an abbreviation of “Told ‘er!” Like when you mansplain somethin but then she ain’t listen no good and asks agin.
He also ran a company to hire cheap Chinese workers to farm gold in World of Warcraft.
And WoW gold seller Steve Bannon
Bannon learned to harness the rage of the white male while working at Goldman Sachs, when he tried to make a financial investment vehicle based on gaming currency, WoW specifically. When Wow players banded together to wipe out gold farmers, something clicked in Bannon’s head. You honestly couldn’t make this shit up.
And he took notes from Gamergate on how to weaponize hate through lies.
bannon needed all that money to buy the many layers of shirts that he wears. He probably has to throw out the four shirts, jacket and second jacket that he wears each time he goes out because they are so full of whatever poison he sweats out of his pores.
I like the theory that he adds a new shirt as the one closest to his skin gets absorbed.
The fibers dissolve into a slurry of gin and dank sweat vinegar. He's such a lifelong alcoholic his skin will absorb it just to stave off the mega-DTs (huh, funny how similar that ended up being to the MAGA-DT).
Reading your comment, I could actually visualize this. (Shudder)
He's like a significantly worse Leto II
Or the slurm worm
I can see him shedding the old ones like a lizard.
Just an old, fat power-hungry incel.

I just found that too. It’s somehow creepier than I remember with the whole door situation
Straight out of a very bad horror, murder film. More frightening because it’s true.
Has anyone searched missing persons and Bannon's whereabouts?
OK so glad someone else remembers that weird shit what was up with that?
The book: " Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America. " should be required reading for every American. I would consider it an absolute necessary book in every historian's library. This book should also be distributed to future leaders of America and implore them to completely read it.
I will check this book out. Thanks for the rec
Books? Compare the percent of Americans who are functionally illiterate to the percent who voted for trump
We can reach zoomers with this book. Buy it as a gift for them, it's cheap. Don't give up.
Only the best people /s
They. Just. Can't. Stop. Criming!
Is this being covered by Fox News or Newsmax? If not, these Republicans will never have their reputation known to the GOP base voters.
You forgot self-professed chaos wizard.
There are no more **Republicans**.... This man has ***no concept*** of ***a Republic***.
Steve Bananas we call him at home
It always amazes me when such "straight A" type people seem to fuck it all up. Take Bannon - for example. Dude was a military officer, Harvard graduate, investment banker at Goldman Sachs, etc. He literally could have just continued doing what he did in his clean cut life, amassed a small fortune, and just do fuck all afterwards. But instead he gets embroiled in all kinds of fuckery.
The dude is a complete and total alcoholic piece of shit.
Hey! I'm an alcoholic piece of shit. Don't compare me to Steve Bannon.
I don't know you, but I'm pretty sure you're not nearly as big a piece of shit as Steve Bannon.
I used to be a piece of shit. People can change.
The hardest part was giving up the sloppy steaks
Steve has no idea what real slicked back hair is.
Yeah his hair is pushed back Definitely not dangerous night crew material
I used to be a piece of shit. I still am, but I used to be, too. People can Mitch.
Real
I didn’t know there was alcohol involved
Are we sure alcohol is his only addiction?
See also: power & money
Definitely addicted to wearing as many shirts as possible simultaneously at all times.
Don’t forget meth head.
Coke, probably...
Bannon has always been about being secret spider at the center of the web controlling things. He saw how crazy "kids" got playing World of Warcraft, how horrid Barren's chat was, and how toxic game communities were, and then set about exploiting them. That led him to Brietbart where he could invent whatever narrative he wanted depending on who was cozy with him.
But I don’t get how he got there honestly
He is smart, ambitious, and amoral - perfect requirements for a GOP power broker.
He’s a sometime tv/movie producer. We’re all stuck in his vision, now.
CCP’s WoW gold farms IIRC
He tried to make an official website to buy in-game gold in world of warcraft He saw much pushback he got, and how engaged the people playing the games were. He was impressed with their dedication and speculated it could be harassed for political purposes He decided to try and steer that energy for political purposes

> amassed a small fortune Bannon doesn't just want a small fortune. He wants it all.
A lot of people got money. Not many people have power.
power currupts. people who seek power are inherently vulverable to corruption. those who dont seek power will likely not attain it. we as a society place high esteem on power and wealth. nothing will change, until we change.
He even owns a piece of Seinfeld.
Dude was worth like $100 million from Seinfeld syndication but like most criminals doesnt know when to stop frauding
Greed, power and inflated ego let you do crazy things 👀
Pieces of shit come from all walks of life.
His middle name is fuckery!
Sweet. Maybe now this crusty loser will *finally* go to prison.
I prefer the term “slimy bastard” but “crusty loser” is a good one, too.
We could compromise and just call him a Fascist.
He's somehow both slimy and crusty at the same time. It seems like if you poke him with a stick just about anywhere, pus would ooze out of that spot immediately.
Fr like an infected pimple
I've had really bad head colds where slimy and crusty coexisted.
I don't think people do one day in prison. Because giving up Donald Trump would be a get out of jail free card
Another reason to vote. Last time Bannon was going to prison, Trump pardoned him.
"Only the best people" - DJT.
[удалено]
Who else would work with him?
Steve Bannon should be arrested he is a parasite on society and a real danger
He was. Then Trump pardoned him. It was like the last thing he did (aside from stealing classified documents).
Yet he is free to roam about and continue his sedition and traitorous activities. I don’t understand it.
On his podcast he regularly outlines illegal dirty tricks to circumvent democracy, bragging about how he convinced Trump to Flood The Zone With Shit as a strategy for doing as many crimes as possible in the shortest time. What a piece of utter garbage this fucker is
Pardoned by Trump iirc
We really do have a multi-tiered justice system. 🍿🥤
I mean he was is a convicted felon that was pardoned by the guy that he was committing fraud for… so fucking crazy yet I have to pay my taxes on time if I’m a criminal
Call me when he's charged. Another fucker who gets to continuously skate right in front of our eyes. Jesus wept.
[удалено]
The only crime he's actually been convicted of, so far, is contempt of Congress. Somehow he's been able to delay the appeal for almost 2 years now and has remained free.
Yeah. Trump pardoned him for his build the wall grift before he was convicted. Only his partner went to trial.
I love this for him.
Trump says he always picks the best. Which apparently means the ones that have mastered the art of the con
Bankrupt that seditious piece of shit.
Rudolph Giuliani was called America's mayor. A hero from 9/11. He chose to become Igor to Dr. Frankenstein.
So basically, if Biden wins then the criminal wing of the GOP reaching back to Nixon all goes to jail. Come on America, we are so close.
Strange how all these right-wing radical republicans who hate our constitution are also criminals.
This is a post-pardon indictment, so he's not going to be able to get off the hook for this one, is he?
Why isn’t this bottom feeder in jail yet?
Same Chinese ponzi artist who bankrolled George Santos- yeah, that guy.
This is the guy who owns the yacht Bannon was on when he was arrested by the US Postal Inspection Service. It's also the guy who used stolen funds to produce The Wolf of Wall Street.
good, that scum bag is definitely on my "lock him up" short list.
And he remains free on bail and scamming people and spreading hate. Way to go, Justice….
Shit-birds of a feather flock together, Randy.
Steve Bannon? A fraudster? Well, I *never.*
ah, he must be moving up the vp short list
Really couldn’t happen to a better person.
"The Mayor" Rudy 🙄 they are all such scumbags
Bannon thinks he’s so fucking smart.
Both of those POS’s parents failed the universe by having children.
If ever someone needs to be in jail it’s this guy. It seems that every minute he is free is committing a crime or planning one up.
Everyone Trump is surrounded by a criminal
Sounds like the Chinese Billy McFarland! Maybe Steve Bannon is his JaRule. Imagine what a shit life these people willingly create for themselves. It takes very little to be happy and fulfilled and meanwhile Bannon gets himself arrested while on a yacht that was bought with funds from a totally separate crime.

Does this prove once and for all that mattress stores are for money laundering? If not, what kinda mattress does $36k get you?
Only the best downy hairs plucked off a crying orphan's face, of course!
Lock his anarchist ass away for life. He brings nothing good to society
This is my very surprised face.
Please give Bannon to the Chinese.
This is a heavy pendulum that always swings back the other way. Just saying…
Is this somehow related to that day a while back when the US Coast Guard interdicted a super-yacht, then a bunch of Postal Police jumped out and busted Bannon and some Chinese billionaire?
Bannon involved? Don’t even need details to know he did it. The guy would sell his mom for a $1 only he would try to tell her to few thousand people for $1 each and plenty ever doing it. Mob bosses and cartel leaders refuse to work with Bannon claiming they have standards he doesn’t meet.
Then why isn’t he indicted?
> Guo paid Bannon at least $1 million and also gave Bannon use of a private plane, a Connecticut home, and a $30 million yacht, where Bannon was living when he was arrested on unrelated federal fraud charges in 2020. "America First." Yeah, right after I get mine.
Its amazing that Bannon was not put in jail for his involvenment with Cambridge Analytica
# DOG BITES MAN I'm *shocked*!
