ROFL That is the point, failing to adhere to any court orders means there are consequences for that violation. These MAGA fools need to feel the consequences of their actions to understand they can't play stupid games, it results in stupid prizes.

This is the equivalent of "I can do whatever I want!"

There's a weird part of me that wants this to work only if trump goes to prison anyway. I just want him in there fuming about his friend being out.

Dudes gonna have the shakes bad behind those bars, lol.

He also gets to be tried for fraud while in jail lmao.

Wouldn't that be delicious if he's found guilty and remanded into custody until sentencing and never leaves jail?

Don't worry I'm sure he'll be slurping down over priced toilet gin

Schadenfreude has never really been my thing, but what do you know? Seeing traitors finding out is super fun.

bannon is a sack of smashed asshole.

“The government seeks to imprison Mr Bannon for the four-month period leading up to the November election, when millions of Americans look to him for information on important campaign issues,” Bannon’s lawyer wrote.

Pretty sure that he can hire someone to post on Breitbart for him.

If Trump is on probation, can Bannon even associate with him? Typically, you can't associate with criminals while on probation right?

How hard did the judge have to try to hide their laughter?

I swear the US is fucked at this point. We're watching the collapse of the American empire in real-time. I expect a USSR style split in my lifetime, and a whole lot of upset rubes who thought that they could just pretend reality didn't exist and things would go well for them.

I just don't know which state(s) are going to split off first. Will it be the western states together, a handful of north eastern states, or will some bastard grouping of southern states decide they've had enough. Stay tuned!

I've been thinking about this for a long time. I'm quite interested to see how the national debt gets divided up and how that influences things.

We can't split up, all too interdependent. For example, I see people on here telling the red states to fuck off to themselves. Good luck eating food.

How about military presence? Trying to split down on that is a hard stop, not even thinkable. The federal government ain't going to allow it, no matter what.

Any Southerners wanting to try again are getting stomped far faster than last time. Even then, you got armed libs like me embedded in the countryside. And yes, it's worth my life to shoot "red shirts". (And that's easy for me to say. I'm older and understood my history classes.)

He should just do like that one lawyer just did and ask if he can share a cell with Trump to keep working on his campaign.
