In which horrible people get a teeny bit of what they deserve
It hasn’t been a good week for white supremacist con artists great and small.
Steve Bannon’s plans to open a training camp in Italy for white nationalists who like to listen to a sack of rotted protoplasm talk hit a snag when the authorities in Italy — where they know from fascists — has called a halt to his plans to use a 13th century monastery for the school.
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon’s plans for a far-right nationalist school have been halted by Italian authorities. Bannon hoped to run the school out of an ancient monastery near Rome, but officials say they are revoking rights to the grounds for failure to maintain the site and pay fees.
Also, something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
But earlier this month, Italian newspaper Repubblica reported that a letter used to guarantee the lease was forged. The letter had the signature of an employee of Danish bank Jyske, but the bank said that employee hadn’t worked there for years, and called the letter fraudulent.
Bannon claims that “everything actually is totally legitimate,” which sounds exactly like someone who is actually totally not guilty would say, and blamed “the left” for the fact that the bank denied it had anything to do with the letter. I guess we should be glad he didn’t start howling about globalist bankers and spraying bits of the puppy he’d been eating every where. We also should be glad that we can’t smell the fear farts that guy puts out.
Meanwhile in the U.S., a woman who once made the news for calling Michelle Obama an “ape in heels” was back in the news this week.
A Clay County woman was sentenced Thursday to 10 months in prison for embezzling flood recovery funds, according to a news release from U.S. Attorney Mike Stuart’s office.
Pamela Taylor, 57, was also sentenced to two months of home confinement and fined $10,000 for making multiple false statements to the Federal Emergency Management Agency that spawned more than $18,000 in aid. Taylor had faced up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000. U.S. District Judge Irene C. Berger handed down the sentence.
And the NRA and it’s former marketing firm — which also ran the execrable NRATV — continue to fight like two people without eyelids trapped in a small room. Root for injuries and lots of legal fees.
