Despite Bannon declaring war on the Congressional GOP after leaving his White House role and even backing a candidate in the Alabama Senate race opposed by the president, the two still speak several times a week, according to the report.....

“Multiple associates of both Trump and Bannon told The Washington Post”

totally fake news: their WaPo link doesn’t go to WaPo at all, but instead goes to The Denver Post AND the page doesn’t even exist. Also, google and bing searches yield no such WaPo article.

Speed dial?

Everyone I know is on speed dial. It’s called a contact list.

"Trump Still Has Bannon and Stone on Speed Dial, Despite His Public Claims To the Contrary: Report"

Did Trump actually say that he wasn't ever going to talk with Bannon again? I didn't get that from the article. If not, the headline is a falsehood.

>> Anyone the libs don’t like is “controversial.” <<

Sure. But many Freepers have bashed Roger Stone in very strong terms.

So I think it’s fair to say he’s been controversial around here as well.

Roger Stone is the smartest man in the room.

His reward is personal bankruptcy by the deep State while conservatives throw him under the bus. At times, conservatives do not deserve or earn properity.
