Steve Bannon is the human equivalent of a cockroach surviving court battles and felonies with the help of Trump and his cult.
The fact is Bannon has set himself up as an anti-American rabble-rouser with no conscience or moral direction. He hates America. The proof is in the pudding.
When Bannon had to surrender to authorities this morning for contempt of Congress he was unrepentant for his roll in the Jan. 6 coup attempt.
Smirking like a jerk he told assembled reporters "we're taking down the Biden regime" as he was led away to lockup.
Bannon has been charged with one count related to his refusal to appear for a deposition and another related to his refusal to produce documents to the Jan. 6 House committee.
Each count carries a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in jail.
Shortly before turning himself in he went on social media and told his supporters to "stay focused."
His defiant declaration "I don't want people to take their eye off the ball from what we do every day, OK?" set the tone for more resistance ahead.
Normally something like these serious charges would be a black mark on a person, but for Bannon it could be an opportunity for martyrdom in the twisted world we currently live in.
Particularly galling is the fact that Bannon will try to use the courts - with constant stays and appeals - to run the clock out in hopes of a Republican midterm sweep in the House.
It's not a good sign that Bannon is appearing before a Trump appointed judge. The orange wannabe monarch managed to infect our judicial system from the federal courts to the Supreme Court during his presidency.
What are the chances Bannon will pay for his deeds?
I'm not a betting man, but I fear they're not really good. He's going to use his arrest as a fundraiser and is going to be more popular than ever with right-wing activists.
Cockroaches like Bannon want to see our country become an authoritarian regime. Right now he's doing his best to achieve that goal.
