like many good things,
with a bear.

You know, for people who are worried they'll keep Trump on a tight leash until the debates:

This is how many times they've tried that?

As eager as ostensible progressive leftists were to eat up every anti-Clinton piece published by Breitbart and Infowars during the primaries, I don't think this is a good faith issue that people can be persuaded on.

Speaking of Breitbart

This article is great. I remember people on twitter thinking Boyle from Breitbart being involved in the campaign was suicide, but from these emails Bannon is worse.

quote:

In another email, Boyle went into more detail.
�Again I didn�t get an invite but not sure if they maybe gave one to someone else here or something,� he wrote. �BTW� as for lighting people up in the next few weeks//months we need to be smart about it all. Let�s play the game with brains here, we can�t just kill them all. Let me get some feelers out for how the new congress is gonna work before we annihilate everyone.�
Bannon pushed for a more scorched-earth approach.
�Leadership are all cunts,� he wrote. �We should just go buck wild.�
Then he wrote, �Let the grassroots turn on the hate because that�s the ONLY thing that will make them do their duty.�
...
Republican leaders are not the only people Bannon has designated as cunts. He also used the term to refer to Michelle Fields, one of his former employees�and not just any old �oval office,� but a �loving oval office.�

Yeah I doubt there was much love left to lose between Bannon and Capitol Hll so who knows if this will change anything, but if one of these leaked breitbart emails actually has something damaging in it...

Well the irony of Bannon being taken down by bad emails is too fine to hope for.

Right now it's embarrassing stuff like this smear scheme that Matt Boyle tried to do to Michelle Fields as revenge for her leaving Breitbart for Huffpo (because her outlet sided with Lewandowski and not her in the whole "abused a reporter thing" from the primary.)

Bannon seems about to get taken down by his emails, but 33,000 of them will mysteriously go missing and Trump just won't have the evidence to let him go.

It's funny, reading those emails, they're acting like the ruthless power brokers that they believe the (((globalist uniparty))) are like, except they have way, way less power to back it up. "Yeah, let's burn this guy, but we have to control the pace of the information we put out, the sheeple can't handle hearing the whole truth at once."

Yeah, I saw some outrage memes on Facebook, stating that the media "ignored" Louisiana last weekend, in favor of Trump gaffes, because racism. But an entire town about where I lived burned to the ground last weekend, and no one really covered it, either.

I like how he goes from speaking about the governer specifically to "their" in the same sentence.

Also how is it inconsistent for the governer to tell Obama, Hillary, and Trump to all wait?

It's not like the apocalypse or anything but the number of homes effectively destroyed by this flood is more than an order of magnitude greater than even the worst CA fire I could find (2003 Cedar Fire) and happened much faster.

Also as far as cost they've barely even begun to asses the damage which won't be fully known until all claims are made. It hit the middle of a relatively well-off metro area. Preliminary estimates reported today say $20.7 billion in just house-values, which is not exactly small.
