Election 2020

I didn't say he wasn't a grifter, just that unlike Trump + his people, he has real beliefs beyond self-interest

why else would he be ranting about heads on pikes? what grifting angle does that serve?

the circles around Trump were positively awash with pure grifters who got along just fine

whereas Bannon was unable to - in part for personal reasons, but pretty clearly also bc of his beliefs

his post-White House decline has been steep, that's for sure

you mean the Chinese billionaire who fled China after his rabbi in the CCP was taken down and sentenced to life in prison in an intraparty power struggle?

they are both men of the people, obviously.

... whilst looking like he sleeps in his clothes and lives on beer and crisps.

He looked like that when he was advising the president.

 

[version]

He looks worse now. This was how he looked,

 

[version]

Nowadays he looks like this,

 

[line b]

nah he looks cool now

 

[line b]

he looks like hes been doing cocaine on a pontoon boat in florida

 

[version]

My favourite description of Bannon is he looks like the guy who contracts a horrible space disease in a sci-fi film and hides it from the rest of the crew.

 

[IdleRich]

But yeah he definitely believes in the project - when the Mooch got fired he (ultimately) switched sides but Bannonwould never do that. Was surprised he was robbing from believers... everyone needs money I guess.

 

[IdleRich]

He looks worse now. This was how he looked,

But that was him at his smartest. Think he was pretty much looking the same as below except when pres ordered him to scrub up.

Nowadays he looks like this,

I think this is pretty cool too it’s basically me plus 10 stone and 25 years

 

[IdleRich]

Come on guys, pitch in...

 

[Leo]

wonder how much the trumps, and the Donald in particular, have "stepped up" with $$? my guess is...

 

[version]

Come on guys, pitch in...

Yeah. Jesus, "Ben". What are you playing at?!

A mate once sent me a photo of Bannon with the caption "the fucking state of this gakhead" and it's now what I think about whenever I see Bannon and his burst nose

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

ca. 2016-17 a couple friends + I had an intermittent running competition to one-up each other with descriptions of Bannon's appearance in a group text

favorites I recall are "he looks like he ashes into half-empty beers and then finishes drinking them"

and "he looks like his head went through whatever machine dusts Doritos"

Exactly the same as what I think strangely enough.

 

[IdleRich]

When they "call a lid" that means they're not doing anything else, but where does the expression come from? Is it a sporting thing or what?

 

[Leo]

not familiar with that term, but imagine it's derived from "put a lid on it", closing it.
