Bannon said being arrested on money laundering and conspiracy charges was 'one of the best days of

my life'

Steve Bannon, who was arrested earlier this week in connection with a scheme to build a border wall on the US-Mexico border, said the experience of being handcuffed marked one of his favorite days.

"It was a very powerful, spiritual day for me," he said in a segment of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk's podcast on Friday. "A lot of things came into high clarity."

He then called the event "one of the best days of my life."

"I was totally in the zone — as you say in sports — the entire time. They're not gonna shut me up," he continued.

No podcasts from lockup. That translates into no grifting which means no money for your sorry ass. If you're lucky you'll go into the hospital ward because of your age. When you go to prison that will be one of the best days of MY life!

Did he get to sit in Bubba Billy Joe's lap during his short stint in jail ?

Was that the high point of his life that he is gushing about ?

Best day of his life, my ass. Wonder if he still has some of the money he stole from the build the wall scam, or is it all gone from the attorney fees he keeps having to pay?

I saw a video of him sitting in the the court room and he looked angry and very afraid. He knows his luck ran out.

It certainly made my day. If I saw him take a long walk off a short pier, I would be exuberant.

It's all about the money, and the easily manipulated right just keeps coughing it up.

The day you're convicted will be a pretty great day. And the day you head off to prison for several years will also be a red letter day. So much to look forward to! I know I'm looking forward to those days.
