To be fair, Mike Lindell admits to being very familiar with the effects of white powder.

I wonder how well that pillow guy's business actually does. I suppose all those QAnon supporters do need to step away from their keyboards and sleep eventually eh.

We had...crap TV...

 

Ok, your turn :-)

 

 

Actually, no TV. Television didn't start in NZ until the 1960's. Radio was quite popular though.

 

 

Oh, so that's why I thought it was crap 😄

Lindell sells most of his pillows to pile sufferers. There's a dispenser in the Capitol building.

Good job and about time the coward faced up to what he did (or helped to do). Let's see what happens now - more dominoes to follow maybe?

Hmm. Seems too easy. I think Bannon and his enablers see this situation as an ideal opportunity to garner support for their tacky cause.

And Bannon is released.

If I was held in contempt, I don't think I'd be treated so gently.

At least they confiscated his passport, so fleeing to Belarus is off the table.

CNN: Trump ally Steve Bannon released from custody pending trial on contempt of Congress charges

Steve Bannon won't be detained before trial on charges of contempt of Congress after he failed to comply with subpoenas from the House committee investigating January 6.

Bannon, a former adviser to former President Donald Trump, appeared in federal court for the first time Monday. He will be arraigned on Thursday.

Prosecutors did not seek to detain Bannon before trial. Under conditions approved by the judge, Bannon agreed to weekly check-ins, to surrender his passport, provide notice of any travel outside the district and seek court approval for travel outside the continental United States.

I guess he was worried Trump would streak naked through the ceremony.

Politico: McConnell sought to disinvite Trump from Biden’s inaugural

The level of distrust that Mitch McConnell had for then-President Donald Trump in the wake of the deadly Jan. 6 riots on Capitol Hill was greater than previously known.

The then-Senate majority leader sought to have Trump disinvited from Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration on Jan. 20, a new book, “Betrayal,” by ABC News' chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl reveals. According to Karl, McConnell “felt he could not give Trump another opportunity to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.”

Can't say I blame him, Trump fought tooth and nail to stop it from happening.

More from former supporter and New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie.

Business Insider AU: Trump was ‘beside himself with fury’ after Obama roasted him at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ dinner: book

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie writes that former President Donald Trump was “just beside himself with fury” at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ dinner after then-President Barack Obama roasted him over his promotion of the racist “birther” conspiracy theory

At the annual Washington dinner, Obama famously joked that since his longform birth certificate had been released, Trump could move on to other outrageous conspiracy theories. Trump, then the host of NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice,” sat in the audience and glowered.

“It was fascinating and excruciating all at once,” Christie, who also attended the dinner, writes of watching Obama’s roast and Trump’s reaction in his book...

...Christie said Trump was furious after the event. Some have speculated that the evening of public humiliation helped fuel Trump’s desire to run for president four years later.

“I spoke to Donald after the dinner,” Christie said. “He was pissed off like I’d never seen him before. Just beside himself with fury.”

In his book, Christie is critical of Trump’s aggressive promotion of the birther conspiracy theory, which Trump pushed until September 2016, and writes that it “paved the way for wave after wave of other conspiracies to come, wild fantasies, far-fetched assertions, bizarre allegations, and outright lies.”

He added, “It showed that personal falsehoods, even when plainly disproven, can still do political damage. Lies, even discredited lies, never really go away.”

But despite what Christie writes were Trump’s obvious lies, Christie delivered Trump significant political momentum when he became one of the first prominent Republican politicians to endorse his 2016 presidential bid.

Another fox in the hen house.

And it begs the question: "why is there no US federal agency that can make nation-wide policies on voting systems?"

AP: Trump adviser appointed to panel on US elections

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has appointed to a federal election advisory board a prominent Republican attorney who assisted former President Donald Trump in his failed effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Cleta Mitchell was named to the Board of Advisors for the federal Election Assistance Commission. The advisory board does not have the ability to directly make policy but can recommend voluntary guidelines to the EAC. The EAC certifies voting systems and advises local election offices on compliance with federal election regulations.

Mitchell was nominated by the Republican-appointed members on the commission and approved by a majority vote.

Mitchell is a prominent Republican lawyer who joined Trump on a Jan. 2 phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. On the call, Trump implored Raffensperger to “find” him enough votes for him to be declared the winner in the battleground state, which was won by President Joe Biden.

Mitchell claimed she had found possible examples of fraud in the state, but the secretary of state’s office told her that her data was incorrect.

From the delusional artist Jon McNaughton.

Note Trump is standing on a snake.

This is ironic, because the popular far-right "Gadsden flag" has a snake, which represented colonial America that says "don't tread on me"

So it could be interrupted as Trump and other presidents treading on America. Perhaps a Qanon double meaning ;)

That poster in particular is just asking for the Laibach/NSK treatment.
