Stone Shares A '300' Meme To Again Attack Judge, Prove His Loyalty

Roger Stone equated his nearly-finished legal fight with the epic Battle of Thermopylae in his latest Instagram post, a legend that has taken hold in the imaginations and self-styling of the young and right-wing.

The meme, a badly photoshopped image from the movie “300,” features Judge Amy Berman Jackson as the Persian King Xerxes saying: “All we require is that you bear false witness.”

Stone’s head, pasted atop Spartan King Leonidas’ sword-wielding body, retorts: “See, that’s going to be a problem…”



Stone’s flourishes on the post are familiar. He has favored the “bearing false witness” line all throughout his trial proceedings to brandish his loyalty to President Donald Trump, who has retweeted speculation about a pardon for his friend and former adviser.

“I flatly refused to bear false witness against the president who I have known and respected for over 40 years,” Stone wrote. The caption was trailed by a flock of hashtags reading “#rogerstonedidnothingwrong” and “#saverogerstone.”

Stone will remain an unrepentant colossal asshole to the end of his days.

--he's closer to sewer scum---that the entire Mustelidae family would be offended. Weasels are noble beasts compared to Roger F. (for fucknugget) Stone.
