Steve Bannon Is Going To War But He Doesn't Have Any Troops.

"SNIP.............

Yesterday the leader of the Free World ‘war party’ sat down and gave his first, detailed interview on the 60 Minutes television show. Hey wait a minute! 60 Minutes? Isn’t this show produced by the television network which is a fount of ‘fake news?’ Why didn’t Bannon go on Infowars, or his own so-called communications network, a.k.a Breitbart, or Glenn Beck, or Rush? I’ll tell you why he didn’t. It’s because he’s a fraud and an ass-kisser to boot.

Trump won the election because the Democrats ran someone who may have been a good Secretary of State, a wonderful human being and everything else but didn’t know how to run a political campaign. I mean how do you let someone like Jill Stein get more votes in Michigan than the number of votes which you needed to win the entire state?

Bannon can say from today to next year that the ‘establishment’ didn’t want Trump to win but Bannon is part of the establishment, he’s always been part of it and he always will. And you might notice in the entire interview, that at no time did this ass-kisser say anything negative about Trump. So the establishment won’t let Trump enact a ‘nationalist’ (i.e., racist) agenda but we can’t blame him for making a deal with Nancy and Chuck, right?

Know what Bannon’s doing right now with his ‘war’ council? He’s figuring out how to huckster some movies or some other communication products like the Breitbart website that will sell to the alt-right. That’s why he joined Trump in the first place, and that’s all he’s ever done.

That's what he does. He's got no power or authority on his own, so he has to use other people, till they finally wise up.

4. Now he has classified information with which to skew any information he spews.

Saw part of his 60 minuets interview; Double speak imho. He misrepresents facts - like stating growing up in a diverse community in answer to being racist. It's seems the entire group he was apart of is a clusterfuck of grifters 'whohappentobealsoprofessionals' bent on learning as much as they can about the inner workings of the government and now disbursed to do God know what. Yeah, I don't trust any of them.
