I believe Bannon is far more of a threat than 45. Maybe... Bannon has the charisma of a raw oyster, so he needs an easily manipulated front man like Trump. I hope easily manipulated fools like Trump are hard to find, but I've been wrong before, as Trump proved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannon has a frightening view of the world and is very much a cunning, evil man. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salerno Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) That reminded me of a part of his last spiel that I thought would have garnered more attention. Not "our Party" or "the Republican Party" not even "Americans" but: What exactly did he mean by "our movement"?

Jeffr2 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Seems Trump and his enablers are going to cash in soon. What a corrupt administration and corrupt people. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/17/us/politics/trump-pardons.html Quote Prospect of Pardons in Final Days Fuels Market to Buy Access to Trump The president’s allies have collected tens of thousands of dollars — and potentially much more — from people seeking pardons. One lobbyist, Brett Tolman, a former federal prosecutor who has been advising the White House on pardons and commutations, has monetized his clemency work, collecting tens of thousands of dollars, and possibly more, in recent weeks to lobby the White House for clemency for the son of a former Arkansas senator; the founder of the notorious online drug marketplace Silk Road; and a Manhattan socialite who pleaded guilty in a fraud scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect those 45 loyalists in the Pentagon knew which way the wind was blowing and merely took the positions so they could pad their cv's. Even if the traitor-in-chief tries anything crazy, those who are supposed to carry out the orders could easily delay/ignore the crazy. Bet your bottom dollar/baht/euro/whatever that those loyalists will be invited to blow away within the first week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salerno Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) This bodes well for Trump, not ... Quote US Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has explicitly blamed Donald Trump for the deadly violence at the Capitol, saying the mob was "fed lies", and the President and others "provoked" those intent on overturning Joe Biden's election. Ahead of Mr Trump's historic second impeachment trial, Senator McConnell's remarks were his most severe and public rebuke of the outgoing President. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-20/mitch-mcconnell-donald-trump-senate-capitol-siege-provoked/13072392 Edited January 20, 2021 by Salerno 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In four years of incompetence, you find "Trump made a serious error by attacking Pence." This suggests that his only serious error was attacking Pence. Don't you think his love affair with Kim Jong Un, his trusting Putin over his own intelligence services, his ignoring science and deriding those who wore masks (contributing significantly to the 400,000 dead), etc. might also qualify as errors? 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major mistake Trump made, was running for president, because it has put him in the public spotlight. Before he could cheat his way out of business deals, without too much trouble. Now he is toxic, and nobody wants to do business with him, or people who support him, any more. Read the news, how many big companies have announced publicly that they will not do business with him any more, and the list is still growing, for not to speak of those who quietly turn their back on him. I personally think that before the end of the year, he will either flee the US, or be in an orange jump suit. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
