Is it possible to be drunk with power before being empowered? This is a valid question, and America is about to find out the answer because Trumps allies want revenge for the previous four years. With Trump ally and person obsessed with revenge Kash Patel potentially in line to serve as Trumps next FBI Director, things could get very real in a hurry, as the Department of Justice could soon turn against the free press.
The Guardian reported on the musings of Steve Bannon at a Young Republican Gala in New York:
We want retribution and were going to get retribution. You have to. Its not personal, its not personal, Bannon said to the raucous room. They need to learn what populist, nationalist power is on the receiving end.
I need investigations, trials and then incarceration. And Im just talking about the media. Should the media be included in the vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump? Should Andrew Weissmann on MSNBC and Rachel Maddow and all of them?
We want all your emails, all your text messages, everything you did. You colluded in a conspiracy with Merrick Garland, Nancy Pelosi, Lisa Monaco and Jack Smith, Bannon said, name checking the attorney general, former Democratic House speaker, the deputy attorney general and the Trump special counsel.

(1,072 posts)So disappointing that ABC caved in so thoroughly. Now is the time for bravery, not cowardice. I can only imagine how our media truth tellers are feeling at this precarious and dangerous moment in time. Damn them to hell who brought this upon us.

(2,755 posts)You just go right on calling it what it is....retribution. Pain. Payback.
You are making it crystal clear the underlying motives and actions. Leave no doubt in peoples mind. It will make it more difficult to be able to try to say otherwise when it happens. It will be much more difficult to make a case for anything but what you say. Yell it from the mountain tops.
If per chance, people really were hood-winked let's show behind the curtain.
Go Stevie Go!!
