On the evening of October 31, 2020, Steve Bannon told a group of associates that President Donald Trump had a plan to declare victory on election night—even if he was losing. That’s the big take-out from a leaked tape, obtained exclusively by Mother Jones, which provides stunning new details about Trump’s plan to falsely declare victory while tens of millions of votes were still being counted.
Trump knew that the slow counting of Democratic-leaning mail-in ballots meant the returns would show early leads for him in key states. His “strategy” was to use this fact to falsely assert that he had won, while claiming that the inevitable shifts in votes toward Joe Biden must be the result of fraud, Bannon explained in the nearly hour-long audio recording.
“What Trump’s gonna do, is just declare victory. Right? He’s gonna declare victory. But that doesn’t mean he’s the winner,” Bannon, laughing, told the group. “He’s just gonna say he’s the winner.”
The recording stands out for the striking candor and detail with which Bannon described a scheme to use lies to subvert democracy. Bannon also predicted that Trump’s false declaration of victory would lead to widespread political violence, along with “crazy” efforts by Trump to stay in office. Bannon and his associates laughed about those scenarios at various points in the recording. Bannon and his attorney, Robert Costello, did not respond to questions about the recording.

bobknight33WOW you got him.

BSRYou need a new line and I mean that in the most respectable way
nothing burger
newtboyOf course, you don’t think violently overthrowing democracy, murdering police, trying to murder public officials, trying to defraud the election, or any crime from the right is relevant…and any misspoken word or traffic infraction is treason from the left.
This is before the election outlining the plan that Trump followed to ignore the election results and proclaim victory, which he did, then proclaim fraud if his loss was too massive, exactly what he did.
Of course, that doesn’t matter to you, because you’re an anti American anti democracy fascist troll.
There is none so blind as he who will not see. Written for you, it would seem.

You seem really triggered these days. The walls closing in must be scary, the undeniability of the fact that you are a traitor to the USA who follows a fascist, racist narcissist unflinchingly seems to be weighing on you, causing you to lash out and flail more than normal. The outrageous racist nonsense you post these days from your triggered state should get you banned.
I know this constant stream of PROOF that the election fraud fraud was an intentional fraud, pre planned, and never serious or based on a single fact, pure fantasy designed to be sold to ignorant cultists that will turn on their nation without proof of what they’re fighting for, must be unnerving, but get a grip and grow up.
“another rerun of the Jan 6 hearings”? They were live, you idiots. And you think you learn something listening to this moron? So sad, little Bobby. Every time you listen to him you come away less informed. No wonder you’re always wrong and ignorant, your sources are wrong and ignorant, by design.
ROTFLMFAHS!!! Did you really post this guy to try and say SOMEONE ELSE is “drinking the koolaid”?!? Er mer gerd. That’s a whole new level of a lack of self awareness. You are such a silly, deluded little traitor, bob. Why don’t you leave America since you hate it so much? They don’t have many black people or women in positions of power in Saudi Arabia, I think you would like it there. China and N Korea seem right up your alley too.
Newt you are Drinking the Kool-Aid
surfingytmust suck to be a trump supporter still. cant imagine the mental gymnastics bewb has to do. must be exhausting and self-defeating but im here to watch every second of the downward spiral.
luxintenebrisSTOP posting this fool's videos!
He is the definition of an ultracrepidarian!
He is not funny or informative or entertaining or enlightening or worthy of regard. The only example being displayed is your neophobia.
The only people merited to SUFFER through this level of smug inaneness would be a doctor, lawyer, priest, therapist - - people paid to listen to troubled souls.*
There isn't enough Flavor Ade to make him believable.
(add'n background banjo music to those videos would only improve it)
*or come up w/a PayPal scheme for the rest of us to profit from your obvious credulity - i.e. pay us to listen to that sh*t.
Newt you are Drinking the Kool-Aid

"HOLY HELL! He's guilty as a rabbit in a carrot patch!"
(think it's just 33's pride? maybe he paid for that avatar? to be that WRONG about someone so BAD must be an embarrassment.)

JiggaJonsonnah that's not true. that little bitch doesn't talk to me anymore.
Bob is incapable of embarrassment and insult.
newtboyBut he still replies to me….although I can’t for the life of me understand why. It’s never good for him, and always ends with him slinking off to pretend he wasn’t just caught lying or repeating nonsensical lies, only to return quickly with the next lie.
If he was capable of being embarrassed or insulted, he would have quit me years ago. Maybe I just trigger him more. 😂
nah that's not true. that little bitch doesn't talk to me anymore.
bobknight33Because you stand on you high horse and spew shit.
An elitist of falsehoods.

newtboyAaaaahahahaha. Really into projection today, aren’t you?
High horse!? You must be kidding. Just like I’m elitist but living barely above poverty level income….not sure these terms mean what you think they mean.
It’s only because your head is so firmly implanted in your rectum that everything seems like shit. You need to pull it out, wipe yourself off, and give yourself a good scrubbing, maybe reality won’t smell so bad to you anymore. You also might finally see something besides what Trump feeds you.
Too bad all those “falsehoods” are verified facts with cited trustworthy sources, unlike you who just makes up facts they think sound (far) right based on nothing but wishful thinking. Hilarious that you never contradict the facts I provide, you just denounce them offhand because you don’t like them. Real adult.

surfingytFirst co-defendant in Trump Georgia election case pleads guilty
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/29/first-co-defendant-in-trump-georgia-election-case-pleads-guilty.html
There you have it. A Trump co-conspirator CONFESSED TO TAMPERING WITH ELECTION EQUIPMENT to get Trump elected.
It's so hillarious that the Republicans made themselves criminals and committed election fraud in their frantic search for non-existent evidence of it. They invented stories of a non-existent conspiracy to defraud the American public of a fair election, while actively trying to defraud us of a fair election.
Hell, conspiracy aside, the only people I heard of who committed voter fraud by casting multiple ballots or voting with a fake IDs were Republicans.
"his plea deal requires him to testify in future proceedings in the case, including trials of his co-defendants, including Trump."
the deep state is so deep that co-consipirators are going to testify agsainst Trump LOL.
Its just beginning bewb

newtboyIt’s a RICO case….so normally if one defendant is found guilty they all are….does the same rule apply if one PLEADS guilty?!?

surfingytgood question. i dont know. but i suppose it doesnt matter since theyre gonna be found guilty regardless.

newtboylol. Stevie B. just lost his latest (and likely last) appeal of his conviction for ignoring a subpoena by congress in the Jan 6 hearings and hiding his involvement in and knowledge of the failed coup.
Likely going to jail soon along with Navarro.
