Doesn't mean much until after the obligatory appeals---and then may not mean much after that. It is a misdemeanor. If he gets any substantive penalty I will be shocked.

I hope this shocks you. Besides being a commander in chief of the armed forces he is also the Grand Pubah of law and order of the U.S. He has sworn to uphold the law of the United States of America. In other words, if he has knowledge of, neglects reporting, stopping, or trying to break up a crime, he is negligent. He is an officer of the Court. People were killed. Negligent homocide???

How do you get from Bannon guilty of a misdemeanor to that (which isn't even about Bannon)?

I am not shocked by any of that because TFG/s election campaign and Presidential administration occurred right in front of my eyes and all of that was already there from the start.

He and pretty much all of his administration members were basically unfit and unworthy of office--and yet over 70 million Americans voted for more. THAT's what should be shocking. THAT is the problem.

The only explanation that makes sense to me is this...

It's a fucking cult.

He has easy, black-and-white answers to complex problems. And you know what they say about that? Easy answers to complex problems are always wrong.

He has found the vein of hate and he has tapped into it.
