I just discovered yet another weird thing about Steve Bannon:

Anybody notice the blue flags with stars in a pattern that a couple of people were waving outside Bannon's court appearance just now? turns out that it's the flag of the "New Federal State of China," a self-declared government in exile of China created by Guo Wengui and Steve Bannon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Federal_State_of_China

WTF?

Bannon seems to be a playa' and has his bacteria-encrusted talons into rabble rousing and subversion here and there. He seems to be connecting with subversive elements from behind the scenes.

We have already had a taste of his toxins, whatever his maleficent ideals may be for the long-run.

He reminds me of Karl Rove after falling off a bar stool. Turd Blossom is good at doing dirty dead dirt cheap and has a real penchant for attacks so Bannon is not of that high a caliber in the ideological guns of destruction and decay.

The mega yacht, named Lady May, is worth $28 million according to Hartford Courant. Local residents said it was anchored just off West Beach in Westbrook, Connecticut on Thursday morning. Bannon was arrested while Lady May was cruising through the Long Island Sound.

For consulting for one year.

Bannon’s primary goal seems to be stopping the ascendance of China. His support for Trump May be motivated Solely by that.

Bannon May be the smartest Trump supporter. IMO he almost always out debates opponents. He has deep knowledge and brilliance. No good guy should debate him without extensive preparation, or comparable deep knowledge and brilliance.

I will feel safer if he gets sent to jail because I think he is happy to cheat and do rotten things if that is useful.
