    I'm surprised too that it was so blatant and clumsy.

    Education is extremely important.

      Maybe he's got personal demons of some sort. That other Breitbart douchebag who used to be held up as some kind of genius lost his livelihood from making inappropriate and rather predictable remarks about young boys.

      I was only joking

        One would think he would know he has a full time target on his back (Which he earns knowingly) and is smarter than that but some people just think the law doesn’t apply to them.

          NY State charges too now. He could get 5-15.

          The indictment, unsealed Thursday morning, charges Mr. Bannon with two felony counts of money laundering, two counts of conspiracy and a felony count of scheming to defraud in connection with his work with We Build the Wall Inc., a nonprofit fund-raising operation set up to help fulfill Mr. Trump’s promise to construct a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border.

          If Mr. Bannon is convicted, and a judge imposes the maximum sentence on the most serious charge, he could face between five and 15 years in prison. We Build the Wall was also charged.

            Can't help but think it's part of the orchestrated effort to crucify Trump and all things associated with him.

              Bannon seemed smarter than this. It’s amazing how amateurish all this was. Read the indictment. It quotes the incriminating texts with all the ‘LOLs’ and everything.

                I think you have the causal chain backwards. As a simple matter of fact, Trump has associated with a lot of con men and grifters.

                  And so have most other politicians.

                  1. How many lobbyists are there in Washington vs. number of elected representatives?
                  2. A Senator's wealth increases at an average of over 15% per year.

                  Good living and sunshine, I guess.

                  Point is, they're all crooked. Every one of them that have been on the Hill for any appreciable amount of time. Anybody who can ascend to the Oval Office has already sold his sold a few times.

                  Selective outrage in this case may be warranted, but it would be nice if you occasionally were outraged by the harm your folks are doing to the nation.

                    We can't all be as even-handed as Trump supporters.

                        Actually, I think both sides are doing potentially irreparable damage.

                        You make all kinds of excuses for what Trump has done and have been dismissive of his critics from the get-go.

                          I am dismissive of many criticisms, because I believe they are A) ginned up by a biased media and B) rendered with bias.

                          The best criticisms of Trump are by people who would criticize Biden for the same things.
