Steve Bannon just got destroyed

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

I do believe it is safe to say that this week has not been kind to Steve Bannon. Bannon’s arrogant ways have caught up to him, and it will not be long now before the Justice Department receives a House referral for contempt of Congress. And here is a question: What do you think of when you hear the words “Steve Bannon?”

For me, I think of a cockroach. I tend to like to associate people with specific animals. For example, President Biden reminds me of a wise and dignified owl. First lady Jill Biden reminds me of a songbird. And Steve Bannon? Most definitely a cockroach though perhaps I do a disservice to cockroaches everywhere with that one.

For Stephen Colbert, he was pretty specific about what HE thinks of Biden — and his remarks were utterly hilarious: “This is the first time we’ve seen any accountability for one of the big fish. Or in Bannon’s case, one of those weird gelatinous fish that live in eternal darkness with spiky teeth and a lantern glob up here, glowing out of their face.”

Sigh. This is why we all love Stephen Colbert so much. And this is a description that is perfect for the odious Bannon.
