Yeah ok. Considering the fact I have never heard of the website and they don't name their source, I give this about a 10% of being anything other than fake news.

How many times does your fake news need to be proven real before you realize fake news doesn't exist?

Fake news, fake, news, fake news, fake...oh that's real, fake, fake, fa.. oops, that's real too, fake, fake, fa...no that's real too.

There's no reason that he should've been there AND he already had a reputation that could undermine the administration. He's part of this "chaos is good, darkness is good" mentality of the alt-right that will end up killing this administration.

So because you were told to think so.

If you say so Shere.

In fairness, he's right.

You basically said your problem with him was because of his reputation. Your lack of pointing to a specific thing he has done lends credence to his point.

Actually he's partly right then.

He's gone now though.

A conservative putting down info because they don't like the website and it ends up being true, shocker.

I don't know about all that... I do know it shows trump as a politician has a tin ear.

I think he has a tin ear in everything and very little evidence of being able to operate in a system that doesn't have his name on it.

Were it not for the fact he *built the systems that have his name on it* I might be inclined to agree.

Now that we've removed president bannon, when does president pence start.

Never. My hope is that Trump turns out to be good.

How can Bannon be tied to white supremacists?

A decision is imminent from White House chief of staff John Kelly on whether Steve Bannon will keep his job, according to administration officials with knowledge of the situation:

If true, who is leaking this? They need to be the next head on the chopping block.

With all the smoke and mirrors, everything is possible.

I see no reason why he should go.

This racial crap is purely to detract from his hardline stance on economic policy--which is what we voted for Trump to get done.

Agreed.

22 candidates for president and only one heard the cries of the blue collar HS educated workers. Could only tin ears hear that? Life expectancy in the country declines and he was the only one who could sense that?

Well they tried to tie George HW Bush to them and Mitt Romney. Its called manipulation by the media.

I'd like Owl #'s to answer. I consider him very intelligent but I'm starting to have my doubts on his common sense factor.

The establishment (Reps & Dems) were able to "temporarily" falsely define him. But Bannon is very smart and not finished with the establishment/crooks in Washington yet. He's had 8 months of high level access to better understand how the establishment rips off American people. Buckle up!

I think both he and Bernie did. This is where I like Trump. I think the media was being unfair to the both of them.

That doesn't mean he's good at recognizing the tone of the country or his own tone.

He knows nothing.
Bannon may be out, but he'll be alt-right.

But its going to be of limited use if Trump keeps up what he's been doing.
Bannon is horrible and should be tossed because of what he represents, but lets not pretend that anyone is really putting the brakes on Trump, unless they've got dirt on him.
