I saw that episode yesterday. Interesting. Natalie was moderating instead of Bannon and apparently she didn’t confirm with MC by her statement at the end.
His litany of how the Deep State embeds systematically eighty-sixed the good guys Trump brought in initially. In 2017. Very sad.
He makes some good points. While Trump did a lot of great things policy wise. He skimped out on going after the deep state, and vote fraud.
We have to hope that he is ticked off enough now to go scorched earth on them if returned to power. But beating the vote fraud system no may be impossible.
It started on June 16, 2015 when he announced he was running for President.
Don’t you just love hindsight? It’s such a comfortable cushion to lean on.

I remember thinking after the 2016 election that Trump having won could do little worse than to hire a multitude of FR regulars. I anticipated getting inner scoops or at least victory war whoops from at least one nascent FR regular-turned-WH-insider. But I do not recall hearing anything like that. Nothing. I thought it was somewhat weird at the time, but that maybe I had just missed it, or maybe people were not into victory war whoops, or it violated DC decorum... whatever. I can recall a couple of months later having noticed some personnel problems which I then presumed somehow came from Trump hiring too many MAGA true believers— the other side of the scale being then unthinkable to me. I can recall there being some reported time delays in getting Trump administration personnel in place— IIRC the process was going overly slowly. Vaguely, I recall a couple of people allegedly had bad backgrounds and were allegedly not vetted thoroughly.
—Well then, if true, then how much of this is due to Trump? How much is due to McConnell?
There isn't any other kind these days.
Everything that is happening today began in June 2015 when Trump came down the escalator. He knew from the get go pretty much what he was up against and what a fight it would be. He’s a war time President in the 7th year of an 8 year operation.
What pardon of Hillary?
