It sounds like President Trump and Bannon are on the same page.

I’ll entertain your idea. But I see the outcome as the LSM taking them up on it, and spinning it so half the population would think it justified. I don’t want to sacrifice anyone on our side, especially Bannon.

axios is the sister propaganda site of poltico, and when axios fabricates propaganda with anonymous sources, it has less credibility than the old Soviet Pravada.

It is an interesting thought experiment.

In ANY OTHER TIME, you would be confident that the would just walk away from it if it was setup for them, but these days it feels like they would mob together and start kicking.

You keep saying Trump called Bannon a leaker? Do you remember where you heard that?

If the Trump Administration continues to do as it has done so far, many more suburban and rural voters will run to the polls in 2020 than in 2016. It will be a landslide for sure in favor of Trump then.

Dishonest GOP politicians who disagree with Trump’s words on the issue will be replaced.

I despise neo-Nazis, but I also dislike lies and communists (the other neo-Nazis).

>>Washington, Jefferson, Reagan and Trump.<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I do not argue with Reagan.

But you have to include Lincoln—not for defeating the South or even slavery ... but for forging the nation.

Evil progressives such as Wilson, FDR and Obama have been trying to destroy it ever since.

Just to be clear, this article said that Trump called Bannon a leaker, and in a response to me, someone mentioned that. Scaramucci, first said Bannon was a leaker, and then Trump did mention it when he recently talked about Bannon. Trump suspects Bannon of leaking, putting job in jeopardy

“....but for forging the nation.”

I know I’m in the minority for not adoring Lincoln, but the reasons given for his greatness too often sound like platitudes: “forged the nation” - “healed the country” - “preserved the union”.

I think he’s been made into a folk hero - a martyr - like JFK.

I’m not complaining... I guess people need to have larger than life heroes to look up to - they represent ideals and virtues that we aspire to.

I wonder what his legacy would have been had we been spared the national tragedy of his assassination.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

I went to the article and found this quote:

“President Trump has told close associates that he believes Steve Bannon is behind damaging leaks about White House colleagues, putting the chief strategist’s job in fresh jeopardy, sources close to the president tell me.”

I’m sure you’ll agree that’s the very epitome of fake news!
