Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon will stand trial beginning Dec. 9 on charges he defrauded donors to an online effort to raise money for a wall along the U.S. southern border.

During a brief hearing on Tuesday, prosecutors said they would take three to four days to present evidence. Defense attorneys expected their case to last two days.

Bannon, who is currently serving a federal prison sentence for contempt of Congress, did not attend the hearing.

Lol took me way too long to realize why you said that, other than it probably being true.
It's staying up.

Lol from the people who "hate taxes"

What is it that the Republicans are doing that can just make these motherfuckers constantly forget reality, cause the them to believe alternate definitions of basic words, etc.? This is a serious question

I wonder if at any point self reflection will kick in.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

Many soulless creatures in lore don't have reflections

Quick reminder that Trump pardoned Bannon for the federal charges he faced for this scam. So Trump was 100% on board with Bannon telling people he was going to take their donations to build a border wall and then pocket the money.

It astonishes me that anyone is a Trump supporter.
