CoughAhem…
I could try to spin that as clever commentary on him being pensive over taking the job, or say that it is a byproduct of ripping that out while on my phone.
I’ll go with the first one :P
On one hand Trump is unpredictable and not a traditional conservative.
On the other, think of how many gays the office of the VP could send to re-education camps.
Mother what do I do?
The White House chief strategist has told associates he never intended to do an “interview” with an editor at the American Prospect, a left-wing publication.
Bannon has told associates that he admired the author’s stance on China, and so called the journalist, Robert Kuttner, on Tuesday, to discuss his piece. Apparently Bannon never thought that the journalist might take his (very newsworthy) comments and turn them into a story. It’s Anthony Scaramucci all over again (minus the curse words.)
The result is not good for Bannon, who is already under pressure, with colleagues lined up against him and a president who agrees with him ideologically but tells associates he thinks Bannon is a leaker.
Here’s what one of Bannon’s colleagues — somebody who’s not an enemy of his — told me after reading the piece: “Since Steve apparently enjoys casually undermining U.S. national security, I’ll put this in terms he’ll understand: This is DEFCON 1-level bad.”
I mean… I don’t believe it. You don’t call a journalist, start rattling off bad mouthing people, and have zero expectation that it’s going to be published. That’s a grade A load of bullshit. He knew damn well what he was doing.
He’s lying. He’s trying to find himself cover by calling the Nazis losers.
“See, I’m not in with those guys! I said bad stuff about them!”
Especially if you were running a “news” organization for years like he has.
I had a comment here that I deleted in favor of
WHITE HOUSE CHIEF STRATEGIST
nice work, America.
I know many people who feel exactly like this.
On Wednesday morning, I entered the echo chamber, watching all three hours of “Fox & Friends” — Trump’s favorite show, to judge from his tweets — to see if the hosts would defend Trump even after he aligned himself with white supremacists. It was a delicate task — some parts of Fox News Channel had already gone wobbly, with Kat Timpf calling Trump’s remarks “disgusting” — but Trump’s “Fox & Friends” friends gave it a try.
Wait. There’s a person named Kat Timpf? Somebody named their kid Kat Timpf? That’s gotta be an anagram for something.

Surprise! Apparently it isn’t an anagram for anything (according to the few solvers I tried).
U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Arizona, announced in a six-minute YouTube video that he will be leading a counter protest outside the Phoenix Convention Center on Tuesday, Aug. 22, while President Donald Trump talks to supporters inside.
The Tucson Democrat called the President “unhinged” following the President’s comments about the violence in Charlottesville.
“This president is indeed unhinged and his comments yesterday emboldened, (and) gave justification to people who fundamentally go against the values of this nation,” said Grijalva in the video. “People driven by hate. People driven by racism. And people driven to make other people victims throughout this whole process.”
In labeling Trump as a supporter of racists, Grijalva repeats a proverb in both Spanish and English: “Tell me who you are with and I’ll tell you who are,” Grijalva said.
Grijalva said he is concerned Trump will pardon former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio during his visit to Phoenix. Arpaio was found guilty of criminal contempt for ignoring a court order to stop detained suspected illegal immigrants. He faces up to six months in prison.
Here’s the President being all presidential and stuff.
Ranking of most beautiful things in the world, according to Trump:
- Statues of Robert E. Lee
- Statues of Stonewall Jackson
- Gold
- Trump (the person)
- Trump (the name)
- Ivanka
- Miss Universe contestants
- Electoral college map
- Everything else
Just wait, it’s only a matter of time before he tries getting statues of himself put up to replace them.
Heaven forbid the world should be denied the grace and beauty of statues such as these:
(Nathan Bedford Forrest statue in Nashville.)
In fairness, this is so bad that it’s kind of awesome.
I remember when that statue first went up. The news stories about it were pretty hilarious.
