Man I needed some good news. I have been just depressed since last night. This morning with "fuck you agency experts" via this same Court I just couldn't get any lower.
If anyone just wants to feel that oomph [https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/062824zr\_bqm2.pdf](https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/062824zr_bqm2.pdf)
From Thomas's dissent: "Plaintiff offers nothing from the historical record showing that holding Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress was in common practice in 1787. Indeed, it is the Court's understanding that Mr. Bannon was not even born at that time."
Gosh. That's sad for him.
Well, Monday I'm having a double Bombay dry martini while grilling a T-Bone, with chanterelle mushrooms, and a twice-baked potato. Maybe a mango sherbet after. Wonder what Steve's having?
I'd like to remind Bannon that his 2nd Amendment rights have afforded him a very quick and painless method to avoid jail time. He may choose this option with no forewarning to the courts and would constitute a permanent end to his legal woes.
I'm thinking he files yet another appeal by the end of the day. I won't believe he's gonna serve his sentence until I see him reporting on Monday morning. 🙄
He’s cooked. The highest court in the land said too bad so sad.
There is nowhere left to file an appeal. He spent a gob of money delaying the inevitable.
He's not cooked at all. He already won the main battle, which is in receiving a pardon to the felonies he committed. He only has to serve 4 months of federal jail time. He won't sweat this at all. The endless appeals were a longshot hoping to delay what amounts to a slight inconvenience, with a chance of maybe getting to further laugh his way out of a case in front of the country again.
>He already won the main battle, which is in receiving a pardon to the felonies he committed.
You realize that he's got another felony trial coming up, right? It starts September 16th.
Just looked it up. He's staring down the barrel of a New York state court case for the wall funding fraud stuff. That's great because it'll be in New York City and he can't get a pardon for it if Trump wins this November. Still though, he's not cooked because of this contempt case. 4 months minimum security federal jail for a misdemeanor level offense is nothing to this guy.
Yeah he would have. He cares far more about *looking* untouchable to the American people because he gets high off the idea that people fear him. It's been his driving motivation in politics for ten years now. He loves the idea that liberals are horrified of the justice system's failures to see him imprisoned. The more it ruins the trust people have in the American justice system, the more pleased he will be.
"Bannon is no longer wining, he loses"
"Looking like he was winning was the real win, therefore he is still winning"
"But he doesn't look like he's winning anymore, because he lost, so he loses there too"
"But he looked like he looked like he was winning, therefore he still looks like he's still winning"
...
It's not 4D chess. The guy lost.
It's also great because during the trial he'll have to stay in either the Brooklyn federal jail or Riker's, both of which are hellholes. Don't think they'll let him podcast from there.
Funny you say "he won't sweat this at all". It reminds me that even he probably won't be the smelliest guy in there.
Have you ever been to prison? I haven't, but people who have tell me it's quite unpleasant and they wouldn't want to go there again.
believe it or not, there is a time when you’ve gamed the system to delay things as long as you possibly can and no more recourse exists. The whole point of doing that in the first place is to hope for some sort of settlement or agreement to take place instead of a ruling. It’s not a strategy for avoiding a sentencing.
A most welcome bit of good news today.
So only 3 out of 4 decisions today are total bollocks. \[Insert the 'so far' Simpsons joke here.\]
It's like a lucky charm in a pile of shit serial. With the FDA neutered, it may have worms too!
*cereal
Thanks, lol
To be fair, it’s been a series of shit, so “serial” does kinda fit.
Yeah, it's a fun play on words, intentional or not :p
**I'm in danger** is the only appropriate meme for today's rulings
true, but it’s nice that one of the “I’m in danger” pics has Bannon saying it
Can only hope he gets his personal Shawshank Experience, and given he's not as swift nor agile as Andy, he gets his fill
Oh he's going to get filled all right.
Get ready for that toilet wine, Steve!
The guards may well bring him single malts and other treats.
Bags of tea, perhaps?
Can he wear two shirts under the orange jumpsuit?
Flooding the zone with shitwine
Man I needed some good news. I have been just depressed since last night. This morning with "fuck you agency experts" via this same Court I just couldn't get any lower.
Never say never where this SCOTUS aid concerned.
yep, they still have the immunity ruling Monday

Concurring opinion from Kagan, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson: >Fuck this guy. Dissenting opinion by Thomas, joined by Alito: >:'(
From Thomas's dissent: "Plaintiff offers nothing from the historical record showing that holding Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress was in common practice in 1787. Indeed, it is the Court's understanding that Mr. Bannon was not even born at that time."
Is that a direct quote? I can't tell anymore. :p
Sweet, sweet words.
Very short and VERY sweet. Only his orange Sith Lord is above the law.
Oh shit you meant *short* short. It probably should have ended with "sent from my iPhone"
And in case you want to feel it again... https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/062824zr_bqm2.pdf
That makes me so happy that I expect Utah requires age verification to view it.
You know we’re starved for real democracy when this decision is the best news we’re getting and everyone is elated about it.
Unlike Bannon, who looks like eats real democracy for breakfast. Lunch. Snack. After-snack. And then craps it out and eats it again for good measure.
Big Scotch is going to have a profitable weekend.
And a terrible third quarter.
Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!
It looks like someone will be spending Independence Day not being ... independent.
IF he actually reports.
I'm hoping he tries to flee to Italy.
What did Italy ever do to deserve that?
I don't know why but that just makes me so happy
Enjoy the ramen.
He will be trading it by the crate for toilet wine.
Seems like he might have some serious withdrawal symptoms coming his way.
Guard: “Inmate, you need to sign here.” Bannon: “I’m sorry, my hands don’t work.”
Are you kidding me? I bet Bannon has been making his own terlet wine for decades at home. He’ll be the Walter White of terlet wine in there.
And extra shirts
Gosh. That's sad for him. Well, Monday I'm having a double Bombay dry martini while grilling a T-Bone, with chanterelle mushrooms, and a twice-baked potato. Maybe a mango sherbet after. Wonder what Steve's having?
> Maybe a mango sherbet after I don't know if I can look at anything orange for a while.
Hmm. Yeah. Maybe something blue. Blueberry.
Oh, a martini is a good idea. I'm having steak and potatoes tonight too, maybe some green beans or beats from the garden.
Maybe Steve can harvest some beats from the prison garden. If he gets Good Time privileges. Otherwise, it's baloney on white bread.
Ha ha, bit of a Freudian slip there.
Ah, beats from the prison guard-en, right? I 'whooshed' myself there.
Steve won't be having any desert, that's gotta go to pay for his protection.
Chianti with fava beans?
fff-ffff-ffff-fffff
For a second I was afraid the answer would be "the same", but I'm pleasantly surprised to hear he's not going to Club-Fed.
Hahahahahaha
I feel bad for the intake personnel. The delousing crew should demand HAZMAT suits.
And blinders.
I'd like to remind Bannon that his 2nd Amendment rights have afforded him a very quick and painless method to avoid jail time. He may choose this option with no forewarning to the courts and would constitute a permanent end to his legal woes.
Inmate #05635-509
Beautiful. Tears of joy. 😂
Enjoy prison traitor!
Gosh darn that's good news! Everyone down at Floyd's Barber Shop is gonna be so happy!
How long is he going for?
Four months?
That’s it? Dude karened all the way to SCOTUS for 4 months??
Talk about snowflakes huh
Pity Bannon's cell mate.
I'm thinking he files yet another appeal by the end of the day. I won't believe he's gonna serve his sentence until I see him reporting on Monday morning. 🙄
This was the end of the line.
He has money and lawyers. There's never closure for that Ilk
So did Navarro and the result will be the same.
He’s cooked. The highest court in the land said too bad so sad. There is nowhere left to file an appeal. He spent a gob of money delaying the inevitable.

If it was "nothing" he wouldn't have appealed it all the way to the Supreme Court.
Yeah he would have. He cares far more about *looking* untouchable to the American people because he gets high off the idea that people fear him. It's been his driving motivation in politics for ten years now. He loves the idea that liberals are horrified of the justice system's failures to see him imprisoned. The more it ruins the trust people have in the American justice system, the more pleased he will be.

What I'd have bet his lawyers have a new issue at a lower court which then needs to climb the ladder again
This was federal, right? He could've been hoping to hold out until Trump was elected and beg for a pardon.
Bannon hasn't paid his other lawyers they are suing him
Appeal to who? The Pope? Jesus?
It's only for 4 months... could have been done with it already instead of wasting all this time and money.

Yes. Bad morning, more sleep then more coffee needed. Deleted, thanks for correcting me. They're still both horrible people.
A rare find-out in this fuck-around timeline
I’d love to see if he does or if he just tries to flee
Good. Git gone.
