Steve Bannon said that ICE officers assisting with airport operations is a “test run” for the 2026 midterms. (www.ms.now)

During a conversation with conservative lawyer Mike Davis on his ‘War Room’ program, Bannon asked, ‘We can use what’s happening with these ICE [officers] helping out at the airports, we can use this as a test run, as a test case to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterm elections, sir?’

To be sure, reports like these come with caveats. Bannon is a prominent MAGA voice, but he’s not currently a White House official and he has earned a reputation as a blowhard who says outrageous things to get attention. There’s no reason to assume Bannon has any idea what he’s talking about in terms of likely future developments.

Dude laid all his plans out in the open for everyone to see, and nobody is trying to stop him. He literally did exactly what he said he would, multiple times over, on record. The apathy is fucking maddening...

That's what ive been saying, nobody cares enough to actually stop them, they dont care about the country or the people or whatever. They want their money to keep coming in and if shit happens they can flee to any of their multiple vacation homes across the world.

A good chunk of the voterbase is cheering for that shit.

It's even worst.

Steve Bannon needs to be tarred and feathered.

I'm hoping no one in the white house takes his calls anymore.

Let's get him back on reality TV. Wheel of medieval tortures. Each willing participant in any felonious/treasonous acts committed get a spin... And win? We all win.
