Steve Bannon, Trump’s Top Guy, Told Me He Was ‘a Leninist’ - The Daily Beast

When you hear comments like "the media should keep its mouth shut" is when you know the threat is real. People wanted to talk about how Obama was some secret agent muslim terrorist sent to tear down America, but here we actually have a guy on the national security trying to do just that.



I agree with free trade in principle, but the problem with that is it's going to just further expedite the manufacturing jobs to outside the country. We agree totally with the automation thing, and it's a huge reason why a basic income has being discussed in Congress.





I can easily talk about Trump and I will point out the good things he does when he does them. However, must Trump supporters have their heads buried in the sand and refuse to acknowledge the shitty moves or justify them with bullshit excuses. Take for instance some of his cabinet choices.

James Mattis- Great choice
Betsy DeVos- Insane choice
Nikki Haley- great choice
Ben Carson- good choice but wrong area. Should be health service or surgeon general, not an area he has no experience.
Tillerson- awful choice with too many ties to Russia affairs

This is being unbiased. If you can't see why some of the cabinet choices are bad (or decisions) then there isn't much help. It's why people continue to treat politics like their favorite sports team. No matter how dumb the decisions the team makes, you will continue waving that flag supporting them week after week.

Good post NC, I agree with a lot of it, mostly your cabinet picks lineup. Seeing as how I know nothing about free trade and have no idea how to compensate for losing jobs to automation, I will stay out of that one. After being hesitant about his SC nominee I have warmed up to that one too, after all it is important to have a neutral judge to balance out the right and left on the bench. I was moreso mad about Congress' unwillingness to at least consider Obama's nominee.

And I totally agree on Bannon, I think people really aren't as upset about that as they should be. Removing the Joint Chiefs makes no sense and replacing it with one of your yes men makes even less sense. The power of the NSC should not be taken lightly.
