There has been a revolving door involving those being vetted for cabinet and other leadership positions since the election. What are your thoughts on how its going? I saw this morning that Jeff Sessions is thought to be getting tapped as the new AG. Then again the media has speculated a variety of different outcomes, namely that Trump wouldn't win in the first place, so what do they know? I was really hoping to get someone's educated opinion of Steve Bannon. There has been a shitstorm surrounding him but every article I read on him is extremely biased. Most left leaning headlines deem him a "White supremacist" or "White Nationalist" however proof of such has been lacking. The man has been in the media for a while and I haven't seen a direct quote from him that would lead me to believe this.

Bannon is being demonized because he's a true outsider, and that scares the shite out of the left.

There's not a shred of evidence that he's anti-semitic or a white supremacist, not a shred.

The media has created a new buzzword before our very eyes. "White- Nationalist". What they're trying to do is make White Nationalist synonymous with white supremacist. And unfortunately people are too stupid to understand the difference.

Nothing wrong with being a Nationalist. Here's the actual definition of nationalism:

quote:

feeling that people have of being loyal to and proud of their country often with the belief that it is better and more important than other countries


So anyone who is loyal to their country and believes their country should come first is by definition a Nationalist.


Any Nationalist with a melanin deficiency is a "white Nationalist".

I've got a more olive complexion, guess that makes me a "Beige Nationalist". You see how fricking stupid that sounds?

That's what I figured. I went into it actually wanting to see what they had to say on the guy and every article points out what he "allowed to be written" on Breitbart not what he actually said. Along those lines, the only reported they headlines not the actual content of the article. It's digital media people! Click baiting headlines are what everyone uses. My favorite was an article that called Bill Kristol a "Renegade Jew". None of the media using that piece of evidence bothered to mention that the article it self was written by DAVID FREAKIN HOROWITZ.

So when I was in college I lived with 2 of my HS buddies. One of them was a history major, the other one bought a German Shepard puppy. The first thing out of the history major's mouth when he saw the puppy was this phrase. The dog did nothing.

I was wrong. Maybe the democrats will learn a lesson. Although it doesn't look like it if they appoint that Muslim Brotherhood pos to lead the party.

I'm no big fan of Romney as a chief executive, but I actually think he'd be an excellent choice as SoS.

Mattis or McRaven should be SecDef but they have been eliminated.
