You got trombone Riker on speed dial

I suspect you're also like me, and have a cache of reaction memes

Example:

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Mostly just the Riker one. It's sort of my duty around here.

What did the short-tailed weasel ever do to you to deserve this

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's a European stoat, just to add a layer of irony

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

They are native to N. America as well.

The closely-related European Polecat is also native to Europe, North America and Asia.

Fun extra bit of trivia, it's believed that's what ferrets were domesticated from because they can interbreed.

Edit: To make things even crazier, I just looked it up on Wikipedia to make sure I was right, and it's now believed that the domestic ferret was domesticated from a North African breed of European polecat.

Bannon Inmate No: 05635-509

When does Trump get his inmate number?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 42 points 4 months ago

Trump was already booked as Inmate P01135809 in the Georgia election subversion case.

[–] pubquiz@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

LOL!!! I actually had to look that up. I'm so glad they're finally hauling is carcass off to a real prison.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 17 points 4 months ago

Holy cow, it's legit.

Amazing

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 48 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If I got a felony conviction my professional and personal life would never recover.

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Somehow these evil chucklefucks are able to rack up multiple felonies, defy court orders, do whatever they want and really face no repercussions. If his lawyers ever manage to convince him to actually do his time it'll be in the cushiest, softest minimum security camp. This guy is who people are talking about when they say eat the rich; he's like a cartoon villain, he's evil because it's fun and easier.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I am pretty sure there was an FBI Raid for Michael Flynn awhile back. Ironically he was on social media saying "Come and Get Me, Libs!" And then registered Republican voter Robert Mueller came and got him.

I think this might fall under "cruel and unusual punishment" for his cellmate. Imagine having to live in a tiny room with this blowhard.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Alcoholics often smell bad, and going through withdrawals will make him extra cranky too.

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You leave alcoholics out of this! Are they not suffering enough?!

[–] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 months ago
[–] JesusSon@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He should run, it would be hilarious.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He tries to pull an Osama and lives in a cave. Gets caught order Uber eats

[–] JesusSon@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Alright, listen up. We have a fugitive on the run: Steve Bannon. We need all hands on deck to track him down. Our primary search areas are Taco Bells and other fast food joints. This is a coordinated effort, so follow these instructions carefully.

First, teams will be deployed to every Taco Bell in the vicinity. Check the dining area, restrooms, and parking lots. Speak with employees and customers. If anyone has seen him, get as much detail as possible about his direction of travel.

Second, expand the search to other fast food chains: McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, KFC, you name it. These are high-traffic locations where he might blend in easily. Again, cover every corner: inside and out.

Report in every 30 minutes with updates, even if you don’t find anything. This is a time-sensitive operation, and coordination is key.

Stay vigilant, stay sharp, and let’s bring Steve Bannon in.

I love that for him.

I hope he doesn't get any medicinal alcohol.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I hope he does, so that he can serve his full sentence properly. No skipping out to the hospital or rehab.

4 months is a pitiful sentence for this rotting bag of feces.

it's only contempt, from my understanding of law it's not uncommon for contempt of court, and inter court violations to be anywhere from like 2 weeks of jail time, to a few months.

What do they mean report to jail? Shouldn't he have been beat by the cops and in jail already because the bail was far more than he could afford. Ultimately causing him to lose his job and put an incredible strain on his family?

[–] Happywop@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Rules for thee and not for me? How tf did he get to appeal all the way to THE SUPREME COURT! ffs. Anyway unfortunately it's only 3 months but in this time he'll go through the agony of alcohol withdrawal. I hope it's utter hell he wishes on all of us.

[–] Catma@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I dont think his appeal moved all the way there, though it was a federal case so it could have. I think this was a hail mary last play for them to intervene and put a hold on things. Either way even they said no

[–] pubquiz@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

The fuckhole is going to finally serve some time. He can never be referred to as anything but a convicted felon from now on. Rot in hell, maggotbag. LOL

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

wonder who he pissed off that ordered the supreme court infiltrators to rule against him.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I wonder how long it takes for DT to set in.

Is Bannon gonna be turning tricks for toilet wine by Friday?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (4 children)

(number of last drinks) - (hours from last drink) + 24hours = SuperHappyFunTimes

I assume he'll show up completely plowed to give himself some extra runway.

Now do Trump. Put him in jail.

[–] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (3 children)

If he's smart, he'll be on a chartered flight out of the US now.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 months ago (3 children)

A. That's not smart B. Have you read any of the garbage that comes out of his mouth? He's clearly not smart.

There's no non-extradition country that wants him.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There's one with supermarkets where you put a ruble coin into a hole to take a cart. He'd probably be delighted to have a mansion across the street from the Seagal's one.

Good, lock up the traitor filth already. Truly a reprehensible man.

[–] fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

This wanker richly deserves time in the slammer.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Glad he is going there on Monday.
