Only Dem prez I've voted for is Obama.

I'm just not a "party over country" Foxbot with a Limbotomy.

Carry on.

I voted for Trump because of the SC. The SC judges are not supposed to tow any one party line or another. They are supposed to be constitutionalists. Though you keep alleging I somehow voted on party lines.

“So I was one of the 6 guests at the Bannon-Ailes dinner party in January 2017 and every word I’ve seen from the book about it is absolutely accurate,” she wrote. “It was an astonishing night.” Min’s report is corroborated by Axios, who recently revealed that Wolff taped many of his interviews and that the dinner-in-question was actually held at the author’s New York City townhouse."

Stay tuned, I think some conservative heads will be exploding over this book

and Trump thought he would be loyal!

I read that interview with the NYT and that was taken out of context.

They are searching for anything, anyway to get rid of him and you people are going along with it like lemmings. Every person who has ever held power in DC for the past 30 years is against him, if you like the direction we've gone since Bush 1 then by all means you want to keep things the same. I think our country has been corrupted and special interests have been put before the American people for 30 years

The two things that confuse me are what was Bannon thinking? what is his end game?
Why is Trump getting himself crazy over what will be one of many books published about his time as POTUS. This is where temperament comes into play. Trump has to rise above this. Some fights aren't worth the time or the attention of the POTUS.
True.

Bannon, what a fascinating guy. I was about as confused with this guy as I have been James Comey.

I think both these guys are schizophrenic. There's no other explanation that begins to make sense of their behavior.

At least James Comey is a somewhat distinguished looking fellow. I'd like to briefly ah... mention my thoughts on the mug on Steve Bannon. I don't usually focus in on something so shallow as this, but it must be commended on.

What on earth does this character look like when he first pulls his pumpkin off the pillow in the morning? His walking around appearance is no picnic. He's got sort of a perma-gin blossom thing going on.



Now, my cat here had a pretty good mug on him, imo. I think he's pretty handsome. But his furballs that he yaks up aren't too attractive. They look like Cinderfreakingrella compared to Steve Bannon's mug. I think this guy's stock plummets for good and all as it should.

Who amongst you here is truly willing to stand in his corner... To finish the dance with him?

My dad has a saying... Beauty is skin deep. But ugliness is ground to the bone.

That's true. But Trump just can't help himself. Something which has been obvious for literally decades. He's the same person he's always been. And he'll be that person until he dies. And if he's like many older people I've known (including me), if anything, he will become more that person.

As for Bannon, it was never any secret that he saw Trump as the best horse for Bannon to ride to get done what Bannon wanted to get done. Bannon is just really bad at picking horses. Now he's gotta regroup.

There's a party that conservatives give their vote to, consistently.
