Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of Donald Trump, vowed investigations and prosecutions of those who have probed the former president and his political allies, declaring at a conservative gathering Saturday that Inauguration Day in 2025 will be “accountability day.”

Pointing to Trump’s recent conviction in New York, Bannon told a crowd at Turning Point Action’s “The People’s Convention” in Detroit, hours before Trump was scheduled to speak, that the former president’s allies are going to “get every single receipt.”

“You are going to be investigated, prosecuted and incarcerated,” he said. “This has nothing to do with retribution. It has nothing to do with revenge. Because retribution and revenge might be another order of magnitude. This has to do with justice.”

Bannon was referring to recent comments by Trump vowing to be his supporters’ “retribution” and saying that “sometimes revenge can be justified.”

Helpful to know who you're voting for. We got screwed in Houston when Democrats turned out in support of veteran Dem State Senator John Whitmire, and he ended up being very friendly with Republican governor Greg Abbott.

Thats one of the risks ya run with, the Republicans are running controlled opposition/plants but that isnt a thing to cause one not to vote. It shows a certain amount of weakness and even desperation.

I remember the BLM marches through Houston and the violent police response. Police smashing up people's cars. Police firing beanbag rounds into crowds of elderly folks and children. Police rounding hundreds of people up in Discovery Green Park and arresting them on trespassing charges.

You can call that desperate, but it worked. Four years later, the police budget is even bigger and there's an ambient terror in the streets as massive tank-like vans periodically drive through the center of town.

Conservatives have this city on lockdown. I don't see anyone voting their way out of this vice grip.
