Just went back to read the comments. It seems the deity those Americans call for must be rather huffed up and did not make any appearance in any court to vouch for the former guy :lol: Some of those voters ought to put their bible book aside and read up on the constitution and law making process, then actually study election laws.

Is there an American class I can take to learn a foreign accent like that?

Steve Bannon Is Expanding His Radio Show For The Midterms, Giving A New Platform To MAGA Candidates
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ka ... -elections
Longtime Donald Trump ally and promoter Steve Bannon is turning his influential radio show into a platform for MAGA midterm candidates with an expansion that will allow him to grow as a right-wing gatekeeper.

The special edition show, titled War Room: Battleground, debuts on the John Fredericks Radio Network on March 7. The one-hour show, airing from 6 to 7 p.m. weekdays, will give maximum exposure to Trump-aligned candidates. The show will broadcast in radio markets in states with some of the most contested races this year, including Pennsylvania and Georgia, with an emphasis on hyper-local races.

“We think there's an opportunity to literally destroy the Democratic Party as it currently exists in the November elections this year,” Bannon told BuzzFeed News in a phone interview. “It's a definite platform for MAGA and for America First. It’s the hyper-local version of the War Room.”

Bannon said he won’t personally make endorsements but wants to widen the exposure of MAGA candidates through radio, streaming, and digital mediums.

“The Republican establishment is just totally fearful of the populist Trump movement now taking over institutions,” he said.

:snippity:

“We know the hyper-local strategies resonate with people because they're volunteering like crazy,” Bannon told BuzzFeed News. “Now we're basically giving them air cover with both radio streaming and web news services to back it up and, quite frankly, make these people stars.”

Bannon is also partnering with Star News Network, a conservative Tennessee-based digital outlet with a focus on hyper-local news currently operating in 11 cities, including those in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Arizona. War Room will host the Star News Networks’ reporters daily, and the two outlets will work in concert to curate the editorial agenda.

Bannon has already built a stronghold in the right-wing radio market. His original War Room show launched in fall 2019 to defend Trump from the ongoing impeachment proceedings. Bannon's revived celebrity after an ugly 2017 fallout with Trump has ensnared a cult following of far-right loyalists among whom critical race theory and vaccine mandates are demonized and the unfounded claims of election fraud are touted.

When he’s not taking the show on the road, the former Breitbart News executive sits at the helm of a large rectangular table in DC at least three hours a day, flanked by studio lighting and a producer or two. With pen in hand, Bannon introduces one guest after another (some of them conspiratorial), all of them ready to parrot the latest MAGA talking point. And when it’s time for a commercial break, viewers and listeners are almost always greeted with MyPillow ads featuring Mike Lindell, a "pillowpreneur" and election denialist who also appears frequently on the show as a guest.

HAPPENING NOW: Steve BANNON is in federal court as his attorneys and DOJ argue about the legal issues related to his contempt of Congress charge.

DOJ: "If the defendant makes a deliberate and intentional decision not to appear, he has the requisite intent for contempt."

Attorneys for Timothy Shea, who was initially indicted with Steve Bannon in the We Build the Wall case, want to ask these questions to potential jurors.

They're in purple text to indicate the government objects to them.

Verdict watch begins in trial on ‘We Build the Wall’ fraud

Summations for Timothy Shea concluded Tuesday with smoking-gun evidence: texts from a group chat in which Shea appears well aware that he and the other organizers of a crowdfunding effort called We Build the Wall were breaking the law.
Josh Russell / May 31, 2022
https://www.courthousenews.com/verdict- ... all-fraud/
In the wake of Bannon’s pardon and his co-conspirators’ guilty pleas, Shea alone went to trial last week. During the prosecution’s two-hour closing argument this morning, Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas Roos told jurors that the “smoking gun” exists in Shea’s text messages.

“We need a solid fucking plan … otherwise we go to prison,” Shea said in one message to Kolfage, Badolato and his wife — words that Roos referenced repeatedly to jurors.

“If it comes out we hired ourselves, it will be bad,” Shea makes plain in another text in the group chat. “We need to create a company I hired you. I’m paying you for a service … consulting.”[

:snippity:
Shea owns an energy drink company called Winning Energy whose cans bear a cartoon superhero image of Trump. The beverage was marketed to the former president’s fan base as containing “ultra-hydrating liberal tears.”

Prosecutors showed evidence that Shea misappropriated $34,000 from We Build the Wall to buy 50,000 cans of the Trump-themed beverage. Though he and Kolfage “papered it as a loan,” the government questioned what kind of loan doesn’t come with interest. “No repayment, no collection, that’s how you know it wasn’t a real loan,” Roos said.

Shea’s attorney John Meringolo did not call any witnesses in the trial.

:snippity: Shea, 51, is charged in a superseding indictment with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering and falsification of records. Each of the three criminal counts carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison./quote]

Evidently, the prosecution was unaware that Jews & Muslims can't charge interest on loans to their own.
