Take to The Sea!
Arrested Development was one of the key references folks were making Thursday. The way Bannon was arrested fits the plot of the former Netflix sitcom well, seeing him apprehended at sea like Bluth patriarch George Bluth. Nevermind that it was also on the yacht of a Chinese "fugitive billionaire" according to The Daily Mail, who shared photos of the former Trump adviser onboard. Safe to say that plenty of folks noticed.
The President Speaks
Trump's response was also interesting since it came during a frantic press briefing where the president claimed he barely knew Bannon and never approved of the private wall project.
He also took a moment to address his tax return lawsuit being thrown out.
Postal Police
The other exciting aspect of the arrest is that the U.S. Postal Service was behind the arrest separate of the current alleged efforts to stifle it and force it to be privatized. The US Postal Inspection Service collaborated with the Southern District of New York's acting attorney despite no apparent postal crime being committed.
