Steve Bannon was released from federal prison this week. What a pity. It was such a comfort to know that he was behind bars and not out in the world, stirring up MAGA mischief. (Actually, it's more than mischief. It's sedition.) But from what we could tell, it didn't look like he'd skipped many meals in the prison cafeteria.
Bannon may be out, but there are plenty of other people whose current, well-deserved imprisonments are something to celebrate. Like:
Ghislaine Maxwell — Sentenced to 20 years in June 2022, Jeffrey Epstein's fellow sex trafficker is languishing in the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida. Does she have any comment on the recently revealed tapes of Epstein, in which he spouts off about Trump? (In case you're wondering, everything Epstein says on the tapes sounds completely believable.)
Tina Peters — The former Colorado County Clerk was sentenced to nine years early last month for (OMG!) Trump-inspired election fraud. She was taken away to the Mesa County Detention Center, but not before she was forced to listen to the judge slam her for her crimes. "You are no hero," Judge Matthew Barrett said. "You abused your position, and you’re a charlatan."
Enrique Tarrio — The repugnant Proud Boy leader got 22 years for seditious conspiracy and terrorism back in 2023, and now is in residence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Manchester, Kentucky. His weeping and mewling did not move the judge, who turned away Tarrio's pleas for mercy and gave him one of the longest January 6-related sentences yet. (Funny, why has Benedict Donald suddenly started wearing MAGA caps with the Proud Boys' colors — black and gold? Perhaps some enterprising journalist could dig into this.)
Stewart Rhodes — Until Tarrio, the eyepatch-wearing Oath Keeper pooh-bah received that longest January 6 sentence (18 years). Is he the only Yale Law School grad locked up at the Federal Correctional Institution in Cumberland, Maryland?
Not only is justice being served, that's four fewer votes for Trump. Will Benedict Donald be next? Only if you vote to send him there — either early this weekend or on Tuesday. We cats PURR.
