Normal people: Handcuffed, taken out of the courtroom, and immediately thrown in prison upon sentencing.

The rich: Granted extra time to get their affairs in order, wait until after all appeals have been exhausted, then negotiate for a time they report to prison. Because we can't be inconveniencing the wealthy now, can we......

Fuck the entire system.

And also keep your terrorist-edging right-wing fascist podcast grift going for months.

I don’t know about the entire system. I do like the “Bannon goes to jail” part of the system. Just not the “rich guys get more appeals” part.

"Ordered to report to prison" doesn't mean "in prison", so we'll see.

He needs to be deloused before entering prison. He probably smells like dumpster full of rotting fish on fire

His lice probably have herpes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The herpes his lice have probably has syphilis.

[–] whostosay 1 points 2 weeks ago

Steve Bannon looks like the result of an experiment for a person to simultaneously beer-bong and butt-chug gin for forty years.

[–] MeaanBeaan 5 points 2 weeks ago

Steve bannon looks like the result of a teleportation experiment gone awry. now he's started his metamorphosis into a half man half totalled 1998 Chevy Silverado monstrosity.

Gee, I hope the withdrawal doesn’t kill him.

Oh no worries about that, he'll go on CIWA in the prison hospital and have a general bad time, but he won't die.

Edit: https://www.bop.gov/resources/pdfs/detoxification.pdf (I'm a nurse and have done plenty of CIWA. I have a feeling the BOP aren't too liberal with the benzos though.)
