Halperin on Bannon: One of Few in White House “Who is Creative, Innovative, Takes Risks”
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/12/2017 8:41:47 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Morning Joe has been on a Steve Bannon-bashing tear the last couple of days, with various panel members predicting his departure from the White House. As Mika Brzezinski put it yesterday, “the end is nigh” for Bannon.

But Mark Halperin made a strong case for Bannon on today’s show, saying that being conventional is not what got Donald Trump elected, and that “Bannon is one of the few people in the White House and in Trump’s life who is creative, who’s innovative, who takes risks, who advocates taking risks. Someone has to be for that.”

What nasty people. I couldn’t stand to watch that every day. So many get their “News” that way.

Thanks.

The soap opera handwriging pearl clutching vitpuerative speculation is sickening....

'He has never worked within a large organization. In fact he has always chosen to stay out of large complex organizations.'

He was in the US Navy and a VP with Goldman Sachs.

So we will end up seeing who is right. You said I was wrong about an imminent Syria strike..and it happened that night. Although, I was surprised it happened so quickly.

Maybe you are right..maybe you are wrong.

We will see.

I don’t watch any of them. I only check out clips.

I watch things on Amazon as background noise. Recently finished with the Six Feet Under series.

Going to check out the old Star and a Stories series next.

Yep. Although Cernovich and others who had the US invading several days ago were seriously wrong.

We’re all right and wrong at various times, especially since none of us actually has any inside information once the doors close.

I was just wondering if the President isn’t running his administration as they did on “Apprentice” by having them compete and then choose who stays and who gets “fired” judging by the results of their implemented ideas. Sorry, I never watched the show, so I am only going by ads I saw. I watch NCIS. Is Bannon like Gibbs? LOL

The reason I thought of this is because I don’t see why he didn’t fire more people (Comey) but he may know more than I, eh?

I don’t watch NCIS so I don’t know.

There is an analogy from The Apprentice that is a little key here. It is Carolyn Kepcher.

Even more so after I watched that piece from Morning Joe.

If you watch it..check out what happened to Carolyn Kepcher and see if it rings a bell in any regard..even just a little

I dont recall Bannon being on the ballot... I voted for TRUMP... IF he wants some ideas from Bannon fine, but he strikes me as a kind of arrogant dick.

Well he had better subsume or else be gone. Learning hoe not to be a dip sh!t is part of growing up.

His colleagues at the WH are not the enemy. Losing effectiveness because one refuses to grow up is a sign of extreme childishness

All I have are a few, sporadic texts from Bannon. I can get yes, no, etc. Not details character studies.

Watching MSM crap is a good way to infect one’s mind with nastiness.

Bannon was an Officer in the United States Navy for seven years in the late 1970s and early 1980s, serving on the destroyer USS Paul F. Foster as a surface warfare officer in the Pacific Fleet and, afterwards stateside as a special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations at the Pentagon.

After his military service, Bannon worked at Goldman Sachs as an investment banker in the Mergers and Acquisitions Department. When he left the company he held the position of Vice President.

Bannon left the Navy as a Lieutenant after 7 years. Not a great accomplishment. Accept to wonder how you can be only a lieutenant after seven years.

A VP at Goldman is not a high position. There are SVPs and EVPs and Managing Directors. VP is hardly an accomplishment. There are hundreds at Goldman.

Navy Lieutenant (LT, O3) is the equivalent of an Army Captain, 03.

Normal progression for Military Officers.
