On the brink of his prison stint, Bannon is attempting to rally an audience he calls an “army of the awakened” to sustain his anti-establishment crusade.

So he wants a "woke" army to support his crusade?

They won't cancel, they'll boycott!

[–] MeekerThanBeaker 16 points 2 days ago

They should join him in prison for solidarity.

[–] mojo_raisin 10 points 2 days ago

Wake up man! These woke people are nothing but trouble!

[–] MehBlah 8 points 2 days ago

We are the woke they are the comatose. If they wake up they wont support him.

LOCK HIM UP, LOCK HIM UP

Glad he is going.

“There are NO conspiracies but there are NO coincidences — Stephen K. Bannon.”

Gotta love that pseudo-intellectual self-quote.

Is "preparing" shoving nips in condoms up his ass?

I gotta tell yah, Steve. They rummage around in there something fierce if they catch wind of nip smuggling.

[–] YarHarSuperstar 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

nips? Isn't that like a candy?

[–] Got_Bent 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can't tell if that's a joke or a real question.

If it's a real question, nips in this case refers to those little bottles of alcohol you would get on an airplane. They're readily available in liquor stores here. Common purchase for the chemically dependent alcoholic who just needs a quick fix.

They also call them pocket rockets.

"Why are you preparing? You're always preparing! Just go!"

I always love to see Spaceballs references in the wild, but this one in this particular context is simply brilliant.

[–] FuglyDuck 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hey, Bannon. I got a recipe for pruno.... I'm not inclined to share it though.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

During lockdown I tried making fruit wine without doing enough reading. It smelled like acetone and I'm pretty sure it was lightly poisonous. He can have that recipe if he wants.

[–] athairmor 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, he isn’t afraid of being locked up. He’s afraid the DTs will kill him.

[–] Etterra 2 points 2 days ago

He looks like the guy in C Block who sells the worst weed.

This site says it's the Federal Correctional Institution, Danbury, Connecticut. https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/steve-bannon-danbury-ct-prison-sentence-19520231.php

You can support him by purchasing a container of Petroleum Jelly online and have it shipped to the prison and addressed to him.

[–] Got_Bent 1 points 2 days ago

Connecticut penitentiary? A state facility? How are the prisons in Connecticut? The only thing I know about the state is that they have their own form of pizza though I have no clue what that form is.

Sorry to ‘actually’ this. I think what you’re referring to was a look back at disgraced general Flynn rather than a look forward.

Edit: it was not.

I was thinking about that Alex Jones/Bannonesque radio host that thinks the chain of randos is gonna go down fighting to help him avoid arrest
