Bannon has no formal power, but is an influential figure on the far right and is closely tied with the Trump administration.
Donald Trump this week again suggested that the federal government “should take over the voting” and federalize elections, which are run by local and state jurisdictions, as part of his ongoing false claims that Democrats have stolen elections. He also reiterated lies that undocumented people are brought to the US to vote and their participation led to
Repeating false claims that undocumented people vote in large numbers in US elections, Bannon said on his War Room show on Tuesday: “You’re damn right we’re gonna have ICE surround the polls come November.”
Bannon also said if the GOP lose the mid terms they are all going to jail including him. he sounds scared out of his mind.
Steve Bannon and all his partners can suck all the dicks in the world.
Not mine please 🤮
His partners, you mean like Jeffrey Epstein?
They would probably enjoy that.
Is this Steve Bannon, the pedophile apologist?
Edit: in the files he is trying to help rebuild one of the world worst pedophile’s image with various techniques. Sickening.
He’s a pedophile apologist?
He’s been in contact with Epstein, his names appears in the files (though, to my knowledge nothing directly incriminating), he’s a Trump lackey and a Fascist who seems to have no qualms about deleting the constitution in order to establish a Fascist Neo-feudalisim.
Despite being a person that any civilized society would have seen tried and hang for sedition, I haven’t seen any ‘pedophile apologist’ material.
But, this is social media in 2026. Once a person is labeled ‘bad’, no amount of lying, bad faith framing or misinformation is off limits. Any attempt to correct any misinformation is attacked and framed as if the person is ‘defending <insert some indefensible thing>’.
So, to my knowledge, no he is not (though I have no read the millions of files personally). Despite being an otherwise odious human being who is working against the Constitution and despite running in the same social circles, I haven’t seen him attempting to defend pedophilia.
I think potentially the comment above isn’t questioning the pedophile part, but the apologist part. Has Bannon even acknowledged that there’s anything wrong? An apologist has to at least try to defend something. He just acts as if nothings changed and everything is fine.
Oh yeah, I was only talking about positive statements. I don’t think that the factual record (not the social media propaganda spin show) contains anything like that.
I am not even remotely defending this man, I believe that he’s guilty of far worse things than pedophilia apology. I just don’t know of any positive statements that he has made on the topic.
Bannon did the same thing telegraphing Project 2025 around the 2024 election. Even if Trump hadn’t inadvertently leaked the plan, I would still believe Bannon’s trial balloon here.
Importantly, this isn’t going to require more ICE personnel than they already have. Trump talked about “taking over” 12 “places.” In all likelihood, these are not even references to states, just specific counties in swing states that absolutely can change the outcome of the election, given the concentration of democratic voters in cities.
So now that we have their confirmation that this is the plan, each one of these states should be passing laws clarifying any ambiguity in their voter intimidation criminal laws. Beyond that, they’ll need to somehow convince the local PD to protect those lines, which may be delusional anyway because so much of every PD will be sympathetic to the fascists.
This is going to be rooouuugghh year.
What stops citizens showing up en masse and armed to help protect these 12 places?
Best believe my ass is showing up with conceiled arms.
Best bet, don’t conceil. First, that makes it easier for them to blame you, acting as if you were planning something nefarious by hiding it until they shot you. Second, how are they going to be made afraid of doing something wrong if they don’t know you’re armed? Be proud of it, and ideally have a bigger stick than they do. Make sure they’re aware of the potential consequences of breaking the law.
Now you know some of the stuff they’re gonna do because it’s not really possible to just cancel American elections
They have also limited mail in voting and will be probably disputing the vote of every married woman who changed their last name that voted democrat
They will probably attempt actual hacking and call in bomb threats too like they did last time
So he’s gonna do in broad daylight what he has been accusing the Democrats of doing with zero proof for the past 6 years? Sounds about right.
The suspicion that Democrats are cheating is more important than the reality that the Republicans are
There’s not enough ICE agents to even come close to doing that. As of 2022 there are 94,000 polling places, so figure 10 ICE each, 940,000 agents standing around looking like idiots, all because bannon is a dipshit. Oh but wait polling places are big places with many doors, better make it 100 per, so like 9.4M ICE agents? LoL, this is the stupidest thing I’ve heard bannon say in the past week. Nope not gonna happen, just a dipshit spouting off nonsense. The real question is, why does anyone listen to this goofball?
There’s only a small number of swing counties they need to go to so your analysis is about as ridiculous as you think the situation is
Texas GOP just lost a seat to a +31 swing to Dems. There are way more swing counties than people think.
Thanks friend, have you ever heard of the Federal and State laws against voter intimidation? I know, I was surprised that you and banannan hadn’t heard of them already. But hey, check this out: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/guide-laws-against-intimidation-voters-and-election-workers Turns out what they are suggesting is literally against the law, as well as being impossible to do. Have a great day!
Oh well that’s a relief, it’s illegal 😂
I guess we have nothing to worry about
It’s the great thing about Fedi. I can just block people who make useless commentary. Bye.
hey go ahead and block me so i don’t have to call you an idiot thanks
And what make you thinks that - because it’s illegal - they won’t do it?
This gouvernement is doing a lot of illegal stuff, even war crime, without any consequences… so why would they stop during election day?
Atepolus cracked the code guys, the regime and ICE are breaking the law, which is illegal. Has anyone tried telling them that they can’t break the law yet? How have we not thought of this before now?
Feds would not need to be posted at every single polling location in the US and no one with a functional brain is saying that is the plan. Certain key polling locations are much more important for major elections than many others combined. And if you seriously think the fascist regime won’t have armed mercenaries at these locations to intimidate, harm, and possibly kill their opposition because it’s illegal, you are so lost on what is happening in the US that I’m honestly not sure what would even compel you to try to debate these topics and embarass yourself like this in the first place
I don’t think this administration cares about laws, if they can dissuade just a handful of votes, gerrymander others, ruin mail in voting for others - it may be enough.
US residents need to stop relying on the rule of law because it no longer exists. Do with that what you will.
