Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

On the brink of his prison stint, Bannon is attempting to rally an audience he calls an “army of the awakened” to sustain his anti-establishment crusade.

So he wants a "woke" army to support his crusade?

They won't cancel, they'll boycott!

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

They should join him in prison for solidarity.

[–] mojo_raisin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Wake up man! These woke people are nothing but trouble!

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I always love to see Spaceballs references in the wild, but this one in this particular context is simply brilliant.

LOCK HIM UP, LOCK HIM UP

“There are NO conspiracies but there are NO coincidences — Stephen K. Bannon.”

Gotta love that pseudo-intellectual self-quote.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hey, Bannon. I got a recipe for pruno.... I'm not inclined to share it though.

[–] myusernameis@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

During lockdown I tried making fruit wine without doing enough reading. It smelled like acetone and I'm pretty sure it was lightly poisonous. He can have that recipe if he wants.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, he isn’t afraid of being locked up. He’s afraid the DTs will kill him.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

He looks like the guy in C Block who sells the worst weed.

Connecticut penitentiary? A state facility? How are the prisons in Connecticut? The only thing I know about the state is that they have their own form of pizza though I have no clue what that form is.
