monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

I met Steve Bannon—the executive director of Breitbart.com who’s now become the chief executive of the Trump campaign, replacing the newly resigned Paul Manafort—at a book party held in his Capitol Hill townhouse on Nov. 12, 2013. We were standing next to a picture of his daughter, a West Point graduate, who at the time was a lieutenant in the 101 Airborne Division serving in Iraq. The picture was notable because she was sitting on what was once Saddam Hussein’s gold throne with a machine gun on her lap. “I’m very proud of her,” Bannon said.

Then we had a long talk about his approach to politics. He never called himself a “populist” or an “American nationalist,” as so many think of him today. “I’m a Leninist,” Bannon proudly proclaimed.
Shocked, I asked him what he meant.
“Lenin,” he answered, “wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.” Bannon was employing Lenin’s strategy for Tea Party populist goals. He included in that group the Republican and Democratic Parties, as well as the traditional conservative press.

Bannon:
that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.

Advice for Those Weighing Jobs in the Trump Administration

...(last two graphs) So maybe the very first thing to consider, if the invitation comes, is this: How well do you know yourself? How sure are you that you indeed would say no?

And then humbly consider this second troubling question: If the Trump administration were as convinced as you are that you would do the right thing—would they have asked you in the first place?

You're just ignorant. No one person in the US creates 6 million refugees.

the Dumpster's been in office a little more than a week and hes already on the wrong ise of history,(Not to mention common sense)

Jane and daughter marched in Austin last weekend. I'll try to get a photo posted later.

Kellyann started out with most people believing she was a smart attorney, but the more she talked, she removed that impression and respect. She would have done much better not representing Trump. She lost a lot.

You are falsely implying that anyone has said that people from these countries are all terrorists. A minimum prerequisite for informed debate is to be able to state your opponent's position correctly. The position is that travelers from places known for generating terrorists have a higher than average probability of being terrorists so that from these particular places, if you don't have sufficient available history, you cannot come in. There is a very temporary suspension on travel from these places while vetting procedures can be put in place. If you're going to argue with the Republican position, you need to stop presenting it incorrectly.

True, but good luck with that.

Our country fucked up a lot of countries. Killed many innocent people. Many are still questioning the atomic bombing of Japan.

You don't value human life; scum.

My wife and I adore Gutfeld and his show.

Yeah, he's usually pretty damn funny. Tyrus is my favorite on his show, but the BABE with glasses is kinda hot, inna skinny-ass kinda way, too.

I agree that this happens but whose fault is that? If law enforcement classifies ruining someone's car and stealing their stuff as less important than the drugs in their pocket then shame on law enforcement.

But you're right on about the marijuana taxes. I wonder if they are going to increase them even more as the price of MJ plummets.

The wholesale price has dropped by half in just the past 2 - 3 years.
I can't believe the number of grow operations in CO I saw spring up last summer.
