ramblershambler

for a guy who keeps saying he doesn't mind going to prison - he sure is trying hard not to go


fowlraul

It’s rehab that he’s trying to avoid…probably


RupeWasHere

More like he is trying to avoid the D/T’s.


fowlraul

Same same.


RupeWasHere

I would give you gold if I had any!


GallowBarb

They'll hook him up with some Librium.


disasterbot

He should brush up on his toilet wine skills.


gangstasadvocate

I do feel sympathetic towards that. Like I can get why drugs wouldn’t be allowed, illegal in the outside world which I’m not saying I agree with, but for consistency, they want to enforce it there, but alcohol is legal in the outside world. Especially if you’re going through nasty withdrawals, that’s rough. Jail should be a conduit for separating you from being too dangerous to the outside or whatever. It shouldn’t be able to make you miserable


Korashy

Some people deserve punishment more than rehabilitation. They should absolutely be miserable.


gangstasadvocate

Punishment proportional to the crime? Sure. Torture? Already unconstitutional. Like I stated, I thought the whole purpose is to keep dangerous people isolated. Rehab implies fewer drugs and torture :( so I hard disagree


Korashy

Not giving people alcohol isn't torture.


TerrifyinglyAlive

It is if they are alcohol-dependent. It’s dangerous, painful, and potentially fatal to forcibly withdraw such a person from alcohol without proper medical supports.


Korashy

I'd assume that a prisons medical staff is used to dealing with withdrawals


mitsuhachi

Given the things I’ve heard about them withholding prescription meds people need to live, I’d be kind of surprised if they cared about alcohol withdrawal


Wonderbreadxx

Actually it most certainly can be in the wrong setting.


technothrasher

> I thought the whole purpose is to keep dangerous people isolated. There are three philosophical purposes for legally imprisoning transgressors: 1) Isolate them from society 2) Punish them 3) Rehabilitate them Which, and how much, of these three objectives should be the focus of the prison system has been subject to long and endless civil debate.


mostuselessredditor

They have medical staff. They’ll keep him alive but it’s not their job to keep him comfortable and happy.


gangstasadvocate

Yeah. That’s pretty cruel imo.


mostuselessredditor

Consequences for one’s actions can often feel cruel


LowSkyOrbit

People get medical treatment in jail and prison. They usually have onsite care and if it's deemed bad, they go to hospitals. They are treated like any other patient when they get to the hospital. Now what's deemed bad versus what's deem minor is a whole other issue and it's really a reflection on how we as a nation see felons.


FlexFanatic

Cell phone are legal in the outside world so we should allow them access to that as well?


gangstasadvocate

I think so. Maybe not with full Internet access for the particularly egregious people in that space, but certainly iPad access with a bunch of local games and books to read wouldn’t hurt


highrouleur

I mean, I look at my local town centre on weekend evenings when a bunch of free people get pissed up and and interact with each other, it's fucking carnage. It seems fairly sensible to try to avoid that situation with a bunch of angry people locked up in close proximity to each other


Mala_Practice

Alcohol is prohibited in jails more because of what it does to already violent people.


gangstasadvocate

Damn.


PrunyBobJuno

How many times do they have to say no before he can’t ask anymore? Seems like the whole MAGA playbook is appeal everything infinitely until the tide changes.


dgs1959

His anus is quivering as we speak.


Rock-n-roll-Kevin

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals has DENIED Steve Bannon's emergency motion to stay out of prison for his July 1 sentence. The panel split 2-1, with Judge Walker (Trump appointee) dissenting.

Sarnsereg

People need to understand it's not just trump, but the republicans. They have a list and it won't matter if it's trump or some other gop nominee that wins, they'll keep appointing these people to force their beliefs on the country.


19Chris96

##ONE Week, ONE Day, TEN Hours, THREE Minutes until the prison report deadline. 12:56 PM, June 21, 2024.(stopped, continued on a different comment).


Talkingmice

Not soon enough. He’s spouting a bunch of verbal diarrhea


CrazyAlbertan2

He is spouting diarrhea.


ClassicT4

Imagine reporting to prison days after watching the guy you’re banking on saving you metaphorically falling on his face on a national debate.


19Chris96

Or physically falling on his face.


Reptar519

It’s been…ONE WEEK SINCE YOU LOOKED AT ME! Cocked your head to the side and said I’m angry!


Justsayin68

Five days since you laughed at me


AstrumReincarnated

Today is June 21.


MasterMahanaYouUgly

next month is gonna be a banger!


1llseemyselfout

Yeah I have a feeling he won’t be showing up and they’re going to have to go get him.


19Chris96

It would make it more interesting.


BukkitCrab

Hey Steve, isn't it past your jail time?


MintBerryCrunchJr

Get fucked you rotten ground beef faced sack of flour.


CpnStumpy

During the depression they started making flour sacks with pretty patterns and colors so people could turn them into suitable children's clothes. Flour sacks are far better than this fuck.


wagashi

You forgot self-proclaimed wizard.


Mmr8axps

A wizard? But he seems so grand.


PhilDGlass

4 months. All the horrendous shit he’s pulled. Fuck that.


Bulbul3131

He’s got another case coming up soon with a lot more time possible


SiliconUnicorn

This was the most shocking part of the whole thing


[deleted]

chelseamarket

Days .. if they’d made it July 7, he couldn’t vote ..


ragmop

Right, if he'd just gone right away he'd have plenty of campaign time to play 


WrongSubreddit

detox hard mode coming up


PhilDGlass

he will get a pruno hookup quick.


-JackTheRipster-

4 months is a joke. His crime was not a minor crime.


King-Owl-House

He still have open case for Wall


silverbeat33

His crime was not testifying. Unless you want that to be a major crime for everyone (recommend: no) then they need to convict him for his other crimes.


ElastaticTomorrow

Enjoy your detox


3DBass

I believe that’s what he’s really afraid of.


LeastImportantUser

No more appeals. He lost and now it's time for him to report to jail soon. 4 months is a tragically low sentence but still.


Sea-Canary-6880

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!! Bring me Solo and the wookie


TrisolaranPrinceps

Atleast Jabba was a savvy and profitable crime lord, Bannon is just filth.


iamalsobrad

> Jabba was a savvy and profitable crime lord Jabba let some emo kid with daddy issues into his home and then did nothing as the kid to set fire to his RV and stole his car and his drinks machine. The porky idiot was too distracted by a BDSM session going horribly wrong because he hadn't bothered with a safe word. To add final insult to injury the muppet got his entire house stolen by a guy who lost a fight with a hole in the ground. Crime lord? More like failed lard.


TrisolaranPrinceps

This is art


p4terfamilias

Ahem, it's *Wookiee*


ExoticTrash2786

Just throw away the key.


armageddon_20xx

Go to jail. Go DIRECTLY to jail!


Sunshinehappyfeet

Adios estupido.


Pete_maravich

But your honor, there's an election to meddle in. Being incarcerated will make that very difficult for me. /s


-Gramsci-

Just go to jail already and get it over with you walking/talking liver spot.


JonBoy82

Steve Bannon Toilet Wine Vintner


TwistedMemories

Please, please, please let him refuse to go to prison and he fails to show up. I want to see him taken in to custody and dragged away to jail with additional time added to his sentence.


FlexFanatic

Nah, for him it’s the next grift. He’ll report to jail using a black car service surrounded by supporters and he’ll get to grandstand to the media, wave, and in a few months he’ll be back out and use this to collect more money from fools. And don’t forget that while he is in jail some other mouthpiece will pick up and carry the torch until he is back.

LazzzyButtons

If trump wins the election he’ll just pardon him again… If you don’t like that outcome you can vote [here](https://vote.gov)


RemoteNo8002

He could've been done already if he just went but no he's gonna miss the next season of Kobra Kai poor bastard.


yougoboy64

Well the sumbitch was supposed to do time for stealing from dumb asses to "finish the wall"......until the orange turd pardoned him.....so he's really getting off easy.....!


gmen6981

He still has a trial for that in NY coming up though. Trump's pardon has no bearing on it.


yougoboy64

Thanks.....did not know that , you've made my "early morning" 😂


stairs_3730

Better if we waited until Aug of Sept for him to begin detoxing. Nice to have him under supervision during the election.


valentino_42

skyharborbj

Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.


Javasndphotoclicks

4 mouths? There are people doing life for less.


asetniop

Oh man am I going to sleep well tonight.


gustoreddit51

Buh-by Steve Bannon.


jhgggyhkgf

He needs to to prison so he can bath regularly


King-Owl-House

So he will be on methadone all four months?


Anyawnomous

Once released, he’ll be a really good dancer.


Luther278

The dudes 70!


Ok-Exercise-6812

No getting out of this one Bannon.


PackmuleIT

Let me get this straight. He's delaying a 4 MONTH sentence? 4 years I can see; but 4 months?


medievalmachine

On the one hand, the 'Republican' candidate, whose family runs the extremist right wing 'Republican' party, has had dozens of staffers go to jail, fought against human rights, supersized the deficit to help himself and other billionaires, engaged in seditious talk and promises to be a dictator. On the other hand, Biden is 3 years older.


Belus86

Sorry, turd. It’s time to get flushed


Leather-Map-8138

Played with fire, got burned.


Omnibuschris

The DT’s are gonna be rough my dude.


timesuck47

He’s gonna run (away). Just wait and see.


ChodaRagu

That’s what I’m thinking!!


MoveToRussiaAlready

lol, 4 months!! A man was murdered in the streets for trying to buy something with a fake $20. This guy gets 4 months, only.


lovemycats1

Oh, steve, give it up and start stocking up on soap on a rope


ArthurFraynZard

Should have been a 40 year sentence. Only four months is a total outrage.


MrrCharlie

Should’ve she be in prison already?


rrrand0mmm

I hope him and Trump share a cell at Rikers in genpop. But merchan gonna chicken out. I swear to fuck he better not be ROR. At the very LEAST house arrest. And what ever happened to his civil trial needing to pay those millions and millions of dollars. It’s like, that just disappeared. That $3m must be split between Aileen and that NY appeals court that granted the lower bond. Whatever happened to any of that bond? Why hasn’t he had to pay? Is he banned from NY business licenses yet? Did they liquidate mar-a-lago yet?


SpezSucksSamAltman

It’s pruno time!


scobo505

He’s 70 years old. It might kill him.


MrBeanCyborgCaptain

It's 4 months, just rip the bandaid off and get it over with.


oshkoshpots

Gee, I wonder what type of crowd is going to offer him protection in prison?


WrongEinstein

Alcohol withdrawal is going to be rough.


chumlySparkFire

This grifter


Randybluebonnet

Wasn’t this shitweasel convicted in the build the wall scam?


TwistedMemories

Not yet. He was scheduled to appear for trial in September, but there's something important he needs to do first. ha ha


JoeBiden-2016

Their argument was beyond laughable. "But your honor, my client can't spread misinformation and propaganda if he's in prison."


disasterbot

Will he flee on a billionaires yacht to [Yakutsk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakutsk)?


HungHungCaterpillar

Should double every time he loses an appeal from now on


Traditional-Level-96

The good ole podcast defense didn't work I guess. Shame, it could've started a podcast crime ring and boy would that have been interesting to watch.


EA827

Rookie move Steve, shoulda just bought yourself a judge


orcinyadders

He should do a documentary like the one Dinesh Desouza did, where he talks about how his time in prison smartened him up to how Joe Biden and Clinton were the *real* criminals. The base eats that stuff up.


bertmega

Womp womp. The delirium tremens are going to be rough Stevie boy.


SacamanoRobert

Do not pass go, do not collect $200.


SuperstitiousPigeon5

Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.


IllustriousLimit7095

Go to prison, traitor


Leather-Map-8138

MTG is like a series of “before” pictures for dermabrasion.


mujinzou

Hope he can find the red dot on the wall repeatedly.


redditknees

Add a few zero’s onto that number and it will really matter.


teddytwelvetoes

if I try to overthrow the government and refuse to take part in the trial(s) surrounding it, would I still be a free man several years later with the government periodically asking me very nicely to please consider accepting punishment someday like the Chappelle Law and Order skit?


NormP

Bannon last week: "Are you prepared to fight? Are you prepared to give it all? Are you prepared to leave it all on the battlefield? ... Ladies and gentlemen, it's very simple: victory or death!"


catzcatscats

Lock him up!


ragmop

Literally just get it over with, dude


AlanB-FaI

Lock him up.


waffleking9000

Unless he can get alcohol in prison, the withdrawal will probably kill him


gianni1980

Why is he worried, the aryan nation are gonna treat him like a king….
