Donald Trump Jr. Tweet about Steve Bannon
Twitter ^ | 1/3/2018 | Donald Trump Jr.

Posted on 01/03/2018 2:40:39 PM PST by grayboots

Steve had the honor of working in the White House & serving the country. Unfortunately, he squandered that privilege & turned that opportunity into a nightmare of backstabbing, harassing, leaking, lying & undermining the President. Steve is not a strategist, he is an opportunist 2:14 PM - 3 Jan 2018

Self-aggrandisement, for a yuge start.

Beitbart has Not disavowed Bannon’s statement. That is all I need to know.

So .... it’s safe to express criticism of Bannon out loud now? (asking for a friend)

Duplicitous toad sounds like a good description. Not sure why Trump ever got in bed with this self-aggrandizing fool. Reminds me of Dick Morris.

Bannon and Trump will always play good cop bad cop.
Unfortunately it appears that Trump wants to trade DACA amnesty for the wall so Bannon will whip up the ‘extreme’ edge of the issue while Trump negotiates.
It may well be the best Trump can do for immigration.
Hopefully there will be real extreme vetting of the dreamers and not just a blanket amnesty.
These men are both on the same side but Trump lives in the reality of actually being president.
Bannon is there for MAGA and us, Trump is all for that too but, he is simply having to face the reality of the cards he has and the way that some people have to get attention.
Politics is an unseemly game at all times.
Bannon specializes in this kind of politics and really does seem to be mostly an opportunist just as was tweeted by Trumps son...he has to be to get in the media.

The preceding was just an opinion of a blue collar stiff who simply likes to analyze political movements and spout off incognito which is still better analysis than CNN.

How is he exactly our friend if he is making comments like this. He needs to disavow the statements. Otherwise, if they are truly his, he needs to pay.

“IMO, the reporter lied about what Bannon said.”

Really? Nine hours have passed since the story broke, where is Bannon’s clarification? Where is his denial?

They even linked to it. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one.

Beside POTUS saying the same thing as DJr.

Where did you see that? I haven't seen proof of that yet, and I'm still looking for it. Other people have said they've seen nothing on Whitehouse.gov, or Trump's twitter feed, so where did you see that?

Bannon is not the enemy.
-
He’s not? It looks like he called Don Jr. a “traitor” - and, presuming the quote in this thread is legit (I never presume anything anymore!) it looks like Don Jr. believes he said it . . . so how is he NOT “the enemy”?

Seems like the leaking stopped when Bannon and Rience left.

I suspect the reporter lied about what Bannon said.

Thankfully another bit of common sense on Free Republic.

I listened to Breitbart News Daily radio program on Sirius this morning. Bannon was going on all about how Trump will never build the wall, he’s going to do amnesty, DACA this, DACA that. Bannon is turning out to be dishonorable.

First of all he needs to have something on Bannon.

Do we know of something Bannon did that was wrong?

I don’t.

So tell us how Mueller could flip Bannon.

I’m curious.

Within a hour of this story breaking, Bannon could have called Beitbart and said ‘Headline this in bold type, I did not call Don Jr a Traitor”. He has failed to do so.

Alabama was a once in a million anomaly.

It all started with Gov. Bentley’s affair with a much younger woman, the audio tapes of him speaking to his married paramour about her breasts while she was making big bucks with dark money funds. If you wanted the governor, you went through Rebecca “Pay the Lady” Mason.

Luther Strange accepted the senate appointment while serving as Attorney General. So of course the investigation into Bentley and Mason died.

So no, Alabama was not going to elect Strange, no matter what.

That set the stage for Judge Roy Moore. Then a forged yearbook and an accuser represented by a law firm owned by Ed Gentle, the treasurer of the Alabama Democratic Party set the stage for a GOP defeat.

Throw in a crooked media and a little vote fraud and viola: you get Doug Jones.

so Bannon turned out to be an opportunist, and a leaker and was fired.

You sure seem to jump to a lot of weakly supported conclusions. Did I say "weakly"? I meant, "none supported" conclusions.
