‘Populist Hero’ Stephen K. Bannon Returns Home to Breitbart
Breitbart ^ | 8/18/2017

Posted on 08/18/2017 3:31:18 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

Former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon returned as Executive Chairman of Breitbart News Friday afternoon and chaired the company’s evening editorial meeting.

Ranked the #63 website in America by Amazon-owned ‪Alexa.com, and with the #13 Facebook page in the world, Breitbart News is considered the most influential populist website in the world.

“The populist-nationalist movement got a lot stronger today,” said Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow. “Breitbart gained an executive chairman with his finger on the pulse of the Trump agenda.”

Breitbart News CEO and President Larry Solov agreed.

“Breitbart’s pace of global expansion will only accelerate with Steve back,” said Solov. “The sky’s the limit.”

Bannon joined the Trump campaign on August 17, 2016 — nearly one year ago to the day of his return to Breitbart. He submitted his intention to leave the White House on August 7 of this year.

“White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Steve Bannon have mutually agreed today would be Steve’s last day,” said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders Friday afternoon. “We are grateful for his service and wish him the best.”

The Drudge Report hailed Bannon as a “populist hero” who enjoyed an “impressive run” during his tenure as President Trump’s top White House strategist and campaign CEO.

I think he has a skin disorder that makes him look like that.

Trump was calling Bannon a ‘good man’ just a few days ago.

He called Priebus a ‘good man’ a few days before he got fired as well.

I guess now we’ll find out Trumps metal. Who are his advisers now? Was bannon the man who kept Trump Trump? Kept him on target and combative when times demanded? I hope for the best but I have concerns the Trump administration might go wobbly

Then again Trump has shown me time and again that he is made of solid granite so maybe it’s all fine

We shall see in days to come. Will Trump pressure Awan to flip on Wasserman Schulz? Will Wasserman Schulz flip on Hillary? Will Weiner’s laptop be used to indict Hillary and Huma? I suspect the answers are no, no, no, and hell no. I fully expect Trump to realize that if he wants strong support for any kind of agenda he is going to co opt Antifa and BLM and get out in front of them. Expect no wall, higher taxes, increasing Federalizations of local police, more censorship of the internet. An alliance with Schumer and Feinstein “because he wants to work with people who know how to get things done”. He will get two more SCOTUS appointments which will both be judges that make Schumer very happy.
But we can be very proud of ourselves because “we don’t want nothing to do with the Alt Right”. We will hold the moral high ground but by then it will be a very dangerous mountaineering pinnacle.

>> It is called Gin & Tonic <<

Indeed. And phoning a liberal news organization right after ingesting too many G&T’s ain’t exactly the kind of wise behavior one might expect from a highly placed WH staffer.
