Steve Bannon's whiteboard with his goals written on it revealed in photos

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Here it is: our first visual glimpse at the hive mind where Trump's chief strategist, Steven Bannon, is plotting the "deconstruction" of the administrative state.

We've heard descriptions of Bannon's office before.

Here's how CNN's Maeve Reston, pulling reporting from the network's White House reporters like Jeff Zeleny, described the room in a recent piece for CNN's new online magazine, "State."

When he moved into the White House, Trump's chief strategist removed the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and sofa from his office and positioned his desk in the corner to make room for giant whiteboards that are lined up in four columns beneath the campaign theme: Make. America. Great. Again. In the final hours of the first 100 days, the promises kept were marked with a red X, including abandoning a massive Pacific trade deal. The column without a single red X: Legislative accomplishments.

Now, thanks to some innocently tweeted photographs from Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, the Orthodox rabbi, author and TV personality, we can see the priorities that form Bannon's to-do list.

Hopefully a few more slip-ups come to pass, and I believe they will.

........this is the leakiest administration in my lifetime. They are idiots. And yes, I get that this was accidental, but why would you let him take selfies in your office if you didn't want people to see your white boards? Unless they WANT us to see the white boards......Hmmmmmm.........

Buy more McCormick's vodka and PineSol to make "gin" out of.

Remember to buy more car air fresheners for suit pockets...to mask the urine smell.

Have aides take my hood to the dry cleaners (the Grand Dragon commented on it's yellowing)

Running low on oil of clove for pain of rotting teeth.

Ask POTUS to renegotiate my deal with Devil...re: a few more years of life in exchange for continued efforts to advance his agenda
