It’s fucking embarrassing

bubbaprog.lol•5 days ago

this looks less like chillaxing and more like he saw her while picking up his mail and insisted on a photo

goodthingsliker.bsky.social•5 days ago

This real? I think it may be fake.

berinszoka.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's real

oh no he forgot it's not primary colors, it's secondary colors

Normalizing Steve Bannon is fucking disgusting

Steve Banon sucks but like what is the actual context here before dog piling on the Lina Khan

justindstanley.com•5 days ago

Oh no, god damnit

matthewsp.bsky.social•5 days ago

Most of the GOP despised Khan, but there were a handful who, like Bannon, saw her as useful because she wanted to reinvigorate antitrust enforcement. This included, at times, Josh Hawley, JD Vance(!), and Matt Gaetz(!!)

berinszoka.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, I know he's stanned her for years

But this is her accommodating him and, by extension, the MAGA Cultural Revolution he architected

because, what, they agree on Sherman Act?

Talk about losing your moral compass...

droseph.bsky.social•5 days ago

... You're really reaching here. Lmao. Ok, buddy. This isn't a Julia Iofe "drinking with the enemy" moment. Don'y clutch your pearls too tightly.

It’s just a picture. They’re not dating.

mmorgenschoen.bsky.social•5 days ago

how dense can you be

A lot of people the left told me were the greatest heroes of our day seem to maybe actually suck.

sameyler.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s almost like if you don’t explicitly incorporate antifacism into your leftist objective function you can end up in very stupid company real quick

badtoss.bsky.social•6 days ago

From his face I can imagine the state of his liver.

mindylouwho.bsky.social•5 days ago

Same, tho I truly hate thinking about either.

b00ster.bsky.social•5 days ago

He looks pretty bad for 71. At least we won’t have to hear from him for much longer.

headdoc35.bsky.social•6 days ago

He’s been a fan of hers for quite some time.

berinszoka.bsky.social•6 days ago

That much we knew. But she chose to pose with him 🤮

headdoc35.bsky.social•6 days ago

Or he somehow ambushed her.

royx.bsky.social•6 days ago

if Bannon ambushed me you'd need high speed photography to catch a photo of us together

headdoc35.bsky.social•5 days ago

Bannon is trying to get back into the FTC.

hulkling-she-her.bsky.social•5 days ago

does he wash his face with acid

sarahburris.bsky.social•6 days ago

Whaaaaaat .... I mean I would take a pic with Bannon but it would be for irony

themontgomery.bsky.social•5 days ago

Evergreen:

themontgomery.bsky.social•5 days ago

Almost more surprised Bannon was willing to stand within 50 feet of a nonwhite woman.

eubanksengineeringresearch.com•6 days ago

I mean, he’s right. Her FTC work was one of the Biden Admin’s great unsung triumphs for the average American. Had she been allowed to continue for another four years, people might even have noticed the effects eventually.

Steve Bannon is an asshole, but he’s no idiot.

alefbetsoup.bsky.social•6 days ago

this says more about Khan than Bannon

eubanksengineeringresearch.com•6 days ago

It means that Kahn is like 99.9% of Dems, in that she fails to grasp what is happening.

It means that Bannon is unlike 98% of MAGAs, in that he DOESN’T fail to grasp what is happening.

I know which of these facts _I_ think is more interesting and strategically relevant.

dallasmarcella.bsky.social•6 days ago

99.9 percent of Dems would not take a photo with Steve Bannon imo

mattboxer94.bsky.social•5 days ago

Some would compromise with colleagues on a bill or smth but pal with a figure as vile as Bannon? I doubt it

eubanksengineeringresearch.com•5 days ago

Oh yeah now that I take in the profile pic I see the issue.

Clinton was the start of the Democrats’ neoliberal turn away from their base.

You aren’t invoking a solution, you just want to go back to an earlier stage when the rot wasn’t so utterly obvious.

Your delusions are part of the problem.

eubanksengineeringresearch.com•5 days ago

You can ask Gavin Newsom about that.

He didn’t take a photo with Bannon because he didn’t have him in the studio when he had him on his podcast, but here he is with Charlie Kirk who is just as scummy and who he also platforms.

Y’all need to get over your parasocial relationships with Dem pols.

eubanksengineeringresearch.com•5 days ago

I’m talking about Dem pols and yes they would.

sellazz.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh, well if you insist

saudades.bsky.social•5 days ago

you might be the best engineer of missing the point i've ever seen
