(1,257 posts)Sometimes I think that the media is really clueless, and insensitive to a rational reality.
There should be an across-the-board boycott, or blackout of anything this fuckhead says or does.
They, in their insatiable desire to get ratings, are enabling a voice of hatred, intolerance, ignorance.
He dishonors all of humanity by not given any respect to the blessing of life that he was given.
Why should he ever light up anyone's TV is beyond me.

(83,355 posts)His jaw is tightening constantly. Rose won't let him finish a sentence...he keeps attacking.

(110,913 posts)I've occasionally (and unfairly) called him soporific.
It's nice to know he's got another side.

(83,355 posts)I had stopped watching TV...except for debates for over 4 years. Rose was awesome, this was no softball interview. Bannon was clenching his jaw so much it was highly visible on screen.
Warpy
(110,913 posts)so I missed the spectacle of Bannon coming up against someone so much smarter than he is. The Orange Maggot is much more his intellectual speed. I'll bet it was brutal.
I haven't watched news, broadcast or cable, since 2004. They are worse than useless. They've harmed this country.
I imagine at least part of it will be on either CBS or You Tube later. I'll watch his masseter muscles twitch then.

(1,822 posts)or did Bannon have some kind of nervous tic in his face where it looked like there was a heart beating inside the left side of his face? he was feeling the heat for sure.
sheshe2
(83,355 posts)Both sides were jumping a mile a minute...he was clenching his jaw furiously! Very visible on the camera. Oh, yes...he was feeling the heat for sure.

(291 posts)and apparently that includes a lot of groups. After he drains the swamp and gets rid of a lot of the government what does he plan to replace it with. What is his vision. Just bullshit about everyone he hates except of course the working class American. That is who he cares about. Why do people believe that guy. The whole interview I found upsetting.
sheshe2
(83,355 posts)As for his definition of working class America...he means only white men and not the rest of us. I think Rose did a fine job going after him. Brannon's facial ticks were telling.

13. So he talked about everyone he hates-

(51,308 posts)Any synopsis?
Or will it be on youtube maybe?
sheshe2
(83,355 posts)Much I already said.
Topics. Obamacare/ Repeal/ Replace...all Paul Ryans fault for failing the DON. Now they may just try to fix it. KKK/ David Duke, Dons embrace ...ridiculous he did not he refuted Duke and they are such a small minority. You stand with DON 100% or you step down!!! Media destroying him.
Here is more.
Rose had questioned Trumps use of Twitter.
But Bannon said that Trump knows hes speaking directly to the people who put him in office when he uses Twitter. And it is sometimes not in the custom and tradition of what the opposition party deems is appropriate. Youre absolutely correct, its not. And hes not going to stop.
He also said that Trumps chief of staff, John Kelly, also is not going to be able to control it, either, because its Donald Trump. Its Donald Trump talking directly to the American people. And to say something else, youre going to get some good there. And every now and again youre going to get some less good, okay? But youre just going to have to live with it.
Bannon said that in the 48 hours after Trump won, a fundamental decision was made that you might call it the original sin of the administration to embrace the establishment GOP as a way to staff up the government.
Our whole campaign was a little bit the island of misfit toys, Bannon said. So [Trump] looks around and Im wearin my combat jacket, I havent shaved, I got you know, my hairs down to here, and he says hes hes thinkin. Hey, Ive gotta put together a government. Ive gotta really staff up somethin. I need to embrace the establishment.'
In excerpts of the interview released last week, Bannon said that the GOP establishment was trying to nullify the 2016 election, and named Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan as figures who do not want Donald Trumps populist, economic nationalist agenda to be implemented. Its very obvious.
Bannon suggested that the inability to repeal and replace Obamacare was due in part to GOP leaders who didnt realize the wide discrepancy in the Republican party. Instead, he expressed doubts that Congress would be able to totally repeal it.

Thank you. I have a feeling you pretty much captured that.
That guy is psychotic. But, of course, so is the guy who hired him.
Wow.

(83,355 posts)You should watch when it is out. Rose was awesome and Bannon was pissed off!

(3,191 posts)Other than that he was so dumb, I was cracking up! Thinking about George Clooney's comment about Bannon licking his ass. Lousy little drunkard.

(13,903 posts)I suppose this has something to do with "professionalism" or some bee ess, but this fascist whackjob absolutely holds MSM in contempt and wants to see them ended. He has a minority audience............and yet, the MSM just trots him out and spreads his vile ideology around on national prime time............(shakes head)

(83,355 posts)You would have to watch the whole interview to understand. That will probably be out tomorrow.
Rose took him out. Bannon was angry and unfocused.

I hate the man, yet this was by no means a softball interview. I love when any of them are taken down publicly. They need to be exposed...and Bannon was.

(83,355 posts)Do watch. Bannon did not do well here. the anger is so close to the edge.

(21,646 posts)His face was pulsating in places I can't even move ...creepy
He for some reason tonight brought this old tune to mind perhaps Shock Therapy would help (referencing the album title )

(83,355 posts)Truth. I thought he would blow a gasket...he was that close.

(7,269 posts)when Bannon was talking about DACA and that they have to go, surmising that they can self deport because your country was founded by nationalists and that's who is to carry it forward, I think the indigenous peoples would beg to differ.
