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@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

They should join him in prison for solidarity.

[–] mojo_raisin@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

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

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

"Roaches check in...but they don't check out.'

This reference is so old I munted it.

Glad he is going.

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@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

nips? Isn't that like a candy?

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months 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.

[–] OopsAllTwix@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

They also call them pocket rockets.

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

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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

Gotta love that pseudo-intellectual self-quote.

LOCK HIM UP, LOCK HIM UP

[–] TheOneWithTheHair@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] myusernameis@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months 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@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months 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.
