they’re wrapping up all the story arcs at once (industrial quantities of crystal meth)

“Some shocking news is that former Trump adviser and human pimple Steve Bannon was arrested on Thursday morning for allegedly skimming over $1m from ‘We Build the Wall’, an online fundraising campaign for the president’s proposed border wall with Mexico. 

It’s been a brutal six months, so I’m gonna mainline some schadenfreude. This news, is the perfect encapsulation of the Trump era. From beginning to end, the wall was a non-stop scam. Trump scammed his supporters by telling them Mexico would pay for it, then we ended up paying for it. 

Then this baked potato Fabio over here – a sunburned Bannon – said he’d pay for it, then he scammed everyone again by allegedly skimming money from it. It’s a Russian nesting doll of fraud. Even funnier is the fact that Bannon was arrested on a luxury yacht off the coast of Connecticut by federal officials and agents from the US Postal Inspection Service. 

Think about how perfect this is: the same public agency Trump is currently trying to destroy, one of the most cherished public institutions in America, arrested his former campaign manager for allegedly skimming money from a fundraiser for their scam border wall. 

And given that Bannon’s arrest occurred two days after a Senate intelligence report confirmed that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort shared sensitive campaign data with a Russian intelligence official, it’s like the end of the summer TV season and they’re wrapping up all the story arcs at once.” —Seth Meyers
