https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/28/steve-bannon-prisonSteve Bannon, former White House chief strategist under the Trump administration, is set to be released from prison on Tuesday and details have emerged of his life behind bars, in which he gravitated to hanging out with other white prisoners.The news website Notus posted an investigation in which it corresponded with several of Bannon’s fellow inmates at a prison in Connecticut.According to inmates serving time with the close Donald Trump ally and far-right figure, Bannon gravitated toward the “white car” among the different racial, religious and geographic groups into which his and many other American prisons are unofficially divided.The group includes mobsters serving time for fraud and similar racketeering practitioners, Notus reported.“Your boy [Bannon] is in the white car, sits with the Italians, the Godfather type,” Fred Carrasco Jr, an inmate serving time for armed drug trafficking told Notus.
“He basically sticks to his crew [and] hangs out with one guy” who is “pretty tough”, Carrasco told Notus, adding that white inmates in the prison had their own table that they sit at and Bannon was a regular there.Bannon will be released on Tuesday from FCI Danbury, a suburban Connecticut prison following a four-month sentence. A jury found him guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition with the committee, the other for refusing to submit documents.In addition to his political career, Bannon is the host of The War Room, a podcast that has garnered millions of listeners and is a popular pick among Trump supporters.He is expected to continue his media and political careers, reigniting controversial calls for “retribution” on Democrats and other critics of the Maga movement.“I would not be surprised to see him immediately hitting the campaign trail, as well as hosting his ‘War Room’ show for four hours each day,” Raheem Kassam, a conservative British activist told Notus.Kassam said he had been “in touch with Steve almost every day”.Bannon also spent his time behind bars teaching weekly civics classes to felons, according to Rolling Stone.“Trump’s 34 felony convictions have taken some of the sting out of being a felon,” Bannon is reported to have told his students at one of these classes.
Gee wilikers, I thought he'd be teaching the Koran to wayward black inmates

>>1357169>American prisoners self-segretate based on race No shit, the article
>>1357210>sits with the Italians, the Godfather type
>>1357260>italians aren't white
>>1357169>According to inmates serving time with the close Donald Trump ally and far-right figure, Bannon gravitated toward the “white car” among the different racial, religious and geographic groups into which his and many other American prisons are unofficially divided.Ok, so all the other inmates are divided by color, and so is Bannon.Lmao the shit demtards think is newsworthy is hilarious
>>1357260Thanks, Fred Carrasco Jr, armed drug trafficker. I'm sure you provide the most truthful and accurate descriptions of an other's character
>“He basically sticks to his crew [and] hangs out with one guy” who is “pretty tough”He was a total prag
>>1357210>>1357292You didn't read the article if you think it's about race.
>>1357322>I would not be surprised to see him immediately hitting the campaign trail
>>1357383>convicted felon hits the campaign trail immediately after prison to campaign for another convicted felonThis is normal for republicans.
>>1357415Only just like normal, you people make shit up all the time and lie.The dude was held in contempt of Congress, he wasn't convicted of a felony
>>1357426i wonder why he didn't want to share his texts with trump regarding january 6th and would prefer to go to jail
>>1357428So you admit you lied?
>>1357426Oh sorry my bad I didn't realize being held in contempt of Congress was a misdemeanor. >>1357429That wasn't me btw just to cure your schizophrenia for now.
>>1357429what was bannon hiding i wonder? why was it worth going to jail? hmm
>>1357449We will have to wait until Trump dies for Bannon's tell-all memoir to come out.
>>1357507>>1357449The reality is Bannon is a smart guy. If you listen to any of the leaked tapes from the administration he's genuinely one of the very few intelligent people in Trump's circle. Him biting the bullet and going to prison serves him two purposes - firstly, it allows him to stay in the right's good graces. He's still set to go on trial for the border wall scam where he started a non-profit that promised donors all the money raised would go to "build the wall" when in reality he and his friends just pocketed the money. Staying in Trump's inner circle still gives him the power of the pardon which is pretty much guaranteed if you kiss Trump's ass. The second thing it gives him is the highly coveted conservative martyr card. He gets to be the guy who went to prison to fight the corrupt deep state. There's nothing the right loves more than being the victim. There's no doubt he'll use the "I'm being persecuted by the left" grift to boost his podcast, spin it into a book, fundraiser, patreon etc., The right wing grift is extremely lucrative right now, especially if you're a guy like Bannon whose entire livelihood is scamming MAGA retards out of their social security checks.
>>1357513>The right wing grift is extremely lucrative right nowThat was always the point. The Bush family killed the GOP in the 2000s and the current crop of hucksters are feeding on the corpse.
>>1357517He didn't kill it. The parties merged.McCain is a Democrat hero and all the Bush Republicans are now Democrats.
>>1357522forced meme
>>1357522>McCain is a Democrat hero and all the Bush Republicans are now Democrats.Well, no. The Republican party dashed so far to the extreme right that they completely abandoned the center to the Democrats. Middle aged suburban adults voted overwhelmingly for Biden and Hillary in the last few elections. Most millennials and even gen xers still remember growing up with the Republican party that used to care about strong institutions, global trade and U.S. leadership abroad. Now that the Republican platform is screeching about secret jewish tranny surgeries and immigrant rape lasers all of those disaffected moderates who were even on the fence about the tea party have nowhere else to go. Long story short, when you're MAGA schizoid everybody to the left of you seems like a Democrat.
>he hung out with white people This is language used to make the reader think he is a Nazi racist (or at least way more than he already is). It is extremely common for prisoners to segregate racially both for a sense of community and protection. There is no happy funtime racial equality in prison. You stick with your group or you get your ass beat or worse.
>>1357527>The Republican party dashed so far to the extreme rightHard disagree. The left went so far to the left they are literally referring to jokes about Puerto Rico as Nazism.
>>1357530we already know you disagree with reality
>>1357530Imagine being indoctrinated to think the corporate centrist democrat party is "hard left".
>>1357545Ok sure, whatever you want to call the party which calls everyone Nazis, I don't really care.The point is one party held its positions, republicans, and the other one just started calling them Nazis over the dumbest shit, and lying about current events and the actions of individuals, giving the appearance that one party is actually holding Nazi rallies in New York, which is a literal lie created by the "corporatist democrat party"
>>1357567shouldn't you be sucking elon's dick
>>1357567They keep calling you a nazi because you keep talking and acting like a nazi
>>1357303Sounds like he’s a bottom
>>1357530>The left went so far to the left they are literally referring to jokes about Puerto Rico as Nazism.I'm not aware of any Democrat who said that making jokes about Puerto Rico is Naziism. That's a really weird strawman. >>1357567The thing I've noticed is that conservatives adopt all the principals of fascism but really resent the title. I'm not sure why you support a guy who said he wants to terminate the constitution, that tried to overturn election results with fake electors and a riot, that says people who burn the flag should be put in prison and that any media company who disagrees with him is the enemy and then scoff at being called a Nazi. I don't understand how being a fascist doesn't bother you but being called one does.
>>1357623How do you manage to lie so much in just a single post?
>>1357633>No argumentI accept your concession
