Anyone who is surprised at the appointment of right-wing guru Steve Bannon as the Donald Trump administration's chief strategist and counselor has been living in an alternate universe, the universe in which President-elect Trump would "pivot" into something resembling a mainline GOP conservative.
And anyone who is amazed at Trump's temerity in putting a white nationalist into the White House has gravely misunderstood the power of racism in fueling his campaign, and the desire to "turn back the clock" to a time when white men supposedly ruled supreme.
Above all, they've forgotten the cardinal rule of Trumpworld: attachment to profit and the Trump brand is a means of increasing influence and power over others. As CEO of Breitbart News, Bannon is key to that strategy, in America and beyond.

It seems the establishment media didn’t learn a thing this election cycle. It all comes from their rejection of ‘good’ as an aspirational characteristic. And so they will continue with their character assassinations without cease.
So is CBS's 60 Minutes. I wonder how much creative editing was done on that?
Breitbart's on my s**t list lately. They have me banned from commenting and decline to tell me why.
Thanks to all that answered by telling me what I already know. I really did want to know if, oh, I don't know, maybe Bannon was the leader of some extremist group at some time in his youth or some such BS. Just to know how to gauge the veracity of what I might read somewhere. I kinda, sorta, said as much, at least I think I did on my original post. I take it that, since there were no replies with anything other than, "he's a Republican so ...." - that there is nothing to any of the claims being made.
If you think that's new, you haven't been paying attention!

I will have been raising five children to legal maturity from 1988 to 2027 if I live that long which is questionable though they will have to turn off my pacemaker manually lol

My fourth quarter domicile if I could would be Point Clear Alabama on the boardwalk south of the Grand Hotel but it’s pricey these days
The UP is a very wild place

I know folks hate me to be so blunt but we could use the nationalism after effects ourselves in cultural infrastructure
Enough with the opposite
Best gif ever
Man I’m I gonna use that
CNN = "Black Nationalist Network". That's why :)
I’m White and I love America. That is secret code for Heil Hitler in the media.
Sometimes bluntness is what is required to get people to face an uncomfortable truth.
Americans have been allowing the cultural Left to bully and intimidate them and set the national agenda for 50 years, with one tiny interlude during Reagan.
This is having disastrous real world consequences, at least if you liked the America that we grew up in. The Eisenhower Kennedy years, with Lyndon Johnson setting the damage in motion. Adults who grew up after that time have no idea of the difference, of how much America changed, with the forces of political correctness imposing an ever increasing iron rule over daily life. It’s long past time to fight back.
IT WAS /s.heh heh
