We Will Govern For 100 Years After We Win 100 Seats’ When Asked if He Supports ‘Autocratic-Type MAGA Rule’
He said that after a judge told him he ain’t gonna let him slide from contempt of Congress charges he’s on the hook for not answering questions from the House Select Committee under subpoena ….
These Trump guys are praying the Donald gets back in the White House and hands out pardon’s, eh?
Former Trump senior adviser and campaign manager, Steve Bannon, took questions outside a D.C. courthouse Wednesday after a judge dismissed his motion to throw out the contempt of Congress charges he is facing.
Judge Carl Nichols of the D.C. District Court found no standing in Bannon’s arguments that the Jan. 6 House select committee’s subpoenas were unlawful. The judge also shot down Bannon’s claims that he is protected by executive privilege, given his proximity to then-President Donald Trump regarding Jan. 6….
…
Speaking outside of the courthouse, while a protester held up a sign saying “Failed Coup,” Bannon was asked if his “goal” is an “autocratic-type MAGA rule of government.”
Bannon answered by invoking Republican Mayra Flores’s win in a majority-Hispanic Congression District in Texas on Tuesday night, saying she won in a “blowout.”
The reporter pushed again asking, “but in terms of ruling?”
“By Democracy,” responded Bannon, adding:
We believe in free and fair and transparent elections! And we’re winning everywhere! This is going to be a massive blowout like 1932. You’re witnessing, right now, a political realignment like 1932.
“And we will govern for 100 years after we win 100 seats,” Bannon continued.
“Do you want to govern as a one-party kind of total government?” the reporter pushed again. “Do you want to destroy the Democratic Party?”
“Well, I believe that we will destroy the Democratic Party as a national political institution….

Bannon is the epitome of what the Republican Party has become.

Bull Shit…..
He’s just a unhindged blow bag…..
My Name Is Jack says
Ah so you believe they words of one you describe as an “unhinged blowbag” is newsworthy?
Why?
I mean if he’s just some nobody running his mouth?Why would a “keen political observer” like yourself even bother to publish such tripe?
jamesb says
Believe him?
Nah
My Name Is Jack says
The question isn’t what you “believe.”
What do Republicans believe and ,as Sykes indicates below,they overwhelmingly believe these kooks, nutjobs and grifters like Bannon.
jamesb says
Some Jack….
But NOT all….
And the country rebuffed Trump’s grab for power….
We may NOT like Mike Pence….
But he and others have done the ‘fight thing’ against ‘The Donald’…
And now we have his old enablers singing like birds to the committeee….
BTW?
Like Mueller….
I see Garland dancing but NOT going for the legal kill on Trump…
Not because he isn’t guilty ….
He IS….
But as have said ALL along….
In America we do NOT go after ex-President’s criminally….
THAT seems to NOT be the case for the NY AG Tish James who may tear Trump’s ass up in the end unlike the Feds…..
My Name Is Jack says
Meanwhile there’s Herschel Walker the Republican candidate for US Senate in Georgia.
This uh “conservative “ is now confessing to have sired children out of wedlock.
Me?I couldn’t care less who he shacks up with but I am not a “conservative” with them “conservative values.”
The New Republic has labelled this clown a “dumb liar.”
Now the real question is how many Women this “conservative “ has impregnated have had abortions?Remember Walker is uh
“Pro Life.”
Conservatism is bunk.

Georgia Senate hopeful Herschel Walker acknowledges 2nd son, insists he wasn’t ‘hiding’ him
Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker on Wednesday acknowledged he has a 10-year-old boy, about whom he hasn’t spoken publicly.
The revelation that Walker has a younger son was first reported Tuesday by The Daily Beast and confirmed by Walker’s campaign.
The issue of Walker’s involvement as a parent has brought renewed focus to the fact that Walker has repeatedly talked about the importance of being an active father and, in particular, has said, “the fatherless home is a major, major problem” for Black people. It is, however, unclear what role Walker has played in the life of his 10-year-old son.
He also has an older son, Christian, with his first wife….

Why Steve Bannon Is So Dangerous
Charlie Sykes: “Beyond the grift, the key to understanding Bannon — and his influence on the MAGA right— is recognizing that he’s a revolutionary, who knows he doesn’t need to persuade, and who doesn’t need a majority. Bannon knows that he just needs a hard-core vanguard willing to do whatever it takes.”
“And his goal is to burn it all down.”
“This also explains the fundamental asymmetry of our politics. On today’s podcast we discuss whether Bannon is playing checkers while his opponents are playing chess.”
“But I suggested a different image: Bannon is bringing an axe to a chess game — and his opponents haven’t figured that out yet, even though he’s told us repeatedly who and what he is.”
