MMR December 7 2023 - Making That Money. Literally.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon dragged Fox News host Sean Hannity for complete filth after he questioned former president Donald Trump about whether he’d be a dictator if he returned to the Oval Office.



“Sean Hannity actually thought he was helping Trump last night,” Bannon said during his latest episode of Real America’s Voice’s “War Room.” “And here’s what I love — the audience gets it. They’re laughing. By the way, Sean, they’re laughing at you. They’re laughing at the stupid, ridiculous question.”



Bannon continued: “Of course Trump’s not a dictator. It’s absurd on the face of it, even to consider — even to ask that question that ‘Morning Joe’ and those guys can cut the clips on shows you’re an idiot. And we don’t have time for idiots, bro.'”

For weeks on the campaign trail, former President Donald Trump has been suggesting the possibility that, if elected, he would use the office of the presidency to seek retribution against his political enemies, promising to "root out" opponents who "live like vermin" and saying he wouldn't be a dictator "except for Day One."



Now, a key political ally who's been touted as a possible acting attorney general under Trump is doubling down on those threats, vowing to target those he called "conspirators" among journalists and government officials during a potential second Trump administration.



"We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but in the media," said former Defense Department official Kash Patel during an appearance on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast.

Patel, who served as chief of staff in the Department of Defense during the Trump administration and Trump's counterterrorism adviser on the National Security Council, was asked by Bannon if he would be able to deliver "serious prosecution and accountability" against their political opponents during a second Trump presidency.



"We're going to come after you whether it's criminally or civilly," Patel said of Trump's political foes. "We'll figure that out."



"This is just not rhetoric," Bannon said. "We're absolutely dead serious."

WASHINGTON — As House Republicans continue their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, the White House on Wednesday put forth a new offer: A meeting between Biden's aides and Republican staff to engage in talks.



The White House made the offer in a letter to House Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. It's a sign of possible future cooperation between the White House and House Republicans as GOP leadership eyes to hold a vote to formally authorize the inquiry to bolster its legal standing.



Comer and Jordan sent a letter on Tuesday to the White House, which was not made public until Wednesday, expressing concern about a subpoena the oversight committee previously issued to former White House counsel Dana Remus. The subpoena called on the attorney to testify behind closed doors about Biden's handling of classified documents.



The two GOP chairs accuse the White House of only offering an “amorphous, generalized objection” to the subpoenas.

Donald Trump returned to his New York civil trial on Thursday as an accounting expert told the court there was “no evidence whatsoever” that the former US president and his family company committed fraud.



It was the first time that Trump had attended the $250m fraud trial in over a month. Outside the court, Trump called the witness “one of the greatest experts in the country.”



“We did nothing wrong. There were no victims. The bank loves us,” Trump said.



Eli Bartov, an accounting professor at New York University, told the court: “My main finding is that there is no evidence whatsoever of any accounting fraud.”

The country’s war against Roe v. Wade has taken a complicated turn in the case of Brittany Watts, 33, a Warren, Ohio woman headed to grand jury on charges that she allegedly attempted to discard the remains of her baby.



Watts was handed a felony charge after the traumatizing events of Sept. 22, when she sat on the toilet at 22 weeks of pregnancy and felt the baby passing through, according to the Warren Police Department. Watts heard a “big splash,” a detective said in court last month. By the time police responded to her home, they said the fetus’ remains were stuck in the toilet.


Forensic pathologist Dr. George Sterbenz testified an autopsy found no injury to the fetus, and that the unborn fetus had died before passing through the birth canal. He said Watts’ medical records showed she visited the hospital twice before the delivery.



“This fetus was going to be non-viable. It was going to be non-viable because she had premature ruptured membranes — her water had broken early — and the fetus was too young to be delivered,” Sterbenz said.



Watts is now out on $5,000 bond and facing a felony abuse-of-corpse charge, according to court records. She entered a not guilty plea. If convicted, she could face two years in prison.



An indigenous woman in Oklahoma is currently serving a four-year term for a similar incident. In 2021, 21-year-old Brittney Poolaw was convicted of first-degree manslaughter for having a miscarriage prosecutors say was a result of drug use.



In a statement, National Advocates for Pregnant Women, now known as Pregnancy Justice, said Oklahoma’s murder statutes don’t apply to miscarriages that occur before 20 weeks of pregnancy, via CBS News.



It’s unclear if this statute could support Watts over in Ohio.
