Steve Bannon on 60 Minutes: Hillary Clinton "Isn't Very Bright;" Maybe Jared Kushner Thought Firing Comey Was a Swell Idea
Three clips below.
In the first, Bannon says Hillary "isn't very bright," and then, when Charlie Rose attempts to get off that topic and ask about "ethno-nationalism," Bannon rejects ethno-nationalism but champions economic nationalism, stressing that there is no "ethno" in the question about whether you're an American citizen or not.WATCH: Bannon on Hillary Clinton: "She's not very bright...she doesn't have a grasp on what's important and what's not." pic.twitter.com/0yDc9xmgZM

2. WATCH: Bannon says firing of Comey was the biggest mistake in modern political history. Also, he refuses to answer if Kushner was for it. pic.twitter.com/d0zcZgowd1

But, clearly, it led directly to the Special Counsel and Special Counsel is causing trouble. It affects US diplomacy with Russia in all areas.
So, from that standpoint, a mistake.

He kept mistaking CBS for PBS. They got sick of telling him and just gave him something to do when he showed up. So he does 60 Minutes and gets coffee for Oprah's girlfriend in the mornings.

Why, no, no, I'm not a huge proponent of the Internet of Things, why do you ask?
Here's a not so minor example. If I was aware, I had forgotten that you must pay Tesla extra money to unlock the software so that your car will have an extended range. Don't ask me the details because I don't quite understand it but apparently the normal software has some built in range limiting. Tesla very kindly announced it was upgrading everyone in the path of Irma so they could have the extended range.
What is to stop Tesla from going in and simply turning off everyone's cars? There are already systems in place at the buy here pay here auto dealerships that if you don't pay, then can make it impossible to start your car.
You want to trust your ability to drive to a piece of connected software? Because I don't.

Even if you believe modern history began on the day of Trump's inauguration and that anything that enabled Mueller to launch his investigation was a mistake, which I'll accept. Then the biggest mistake is appointing Jeff Sessions AG, so the former GOP Senator could revert to norm and rollover for Democrats, thus allowing for the Deputy AG to use his acting authority to appoint Mueller Special Prosecutor.
Democrat Presidents pick AG's that fight on their side using every means necessary to achieve the ends they seek. Republicans need to learn this. Not because I want the DOJ to be politicized and its authority abused, but because it is and the only way to stop it is to have an AG tougher than it. Jeff Sessions is not that AG. Compare to Reno, who had no problem burning children alive, or Lynch, who had no problem publically showing her willingness to have private meetings with suspects and tell the American people its none of their business what she does. And lets not forget Holder being held in contempt after giving firearms to Mexican gangs and drug lords in a half-baked schemed to indict the 2nd Amendment. Jeff Sessions, "You want me to recuse myself for a BS reason? Ok, done!"

Exactly. "This x1000" as the kids put it. Seriously, if you look over any war, even the "good wars" that we won clearly, there is just a series of ghastly stupid mistakes, poor choices, bad decisions and costly miscalculations. WW2 is full of them, several of the worst fights are because of stupid decisions. The first commando raid was a godawful slaughter.
Its just that this time, the press was if not in league with the enemy, at least hostile to our side, and there was so much information and coverage that everyone heard about it. Abu Ghraib as nothing and yet it was trumpeted for weeks, deliberately to motivate anger and opposition among the Iraqi population. It was straight up constant treason that still makes me grit my teeth and think distinctly unChristian thoughts about certain people.

hack and I had a bigly lack of trust in his integrity and judgement.'"
No no! Not like that!
Remember, there was a brief window of time, a formally declared Two Minutes' Hate, during which Comey was the lightning rod of Democratic resentment over Clinton's loss. Comey hadn't yet been abruptly retconned into a hero figure.
A bunch of the liberal nomenklatura, to include Chuck Schumer, were openly calling at the time for Comey's dismissal. UpChuck had whined that he was "appalled at what Director Comey did".
Trump should have just taken them up on it. Fired Comey during the first 72 hours, and framed it as a more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger thing. Bipartisanship. Comity. Civility. Reaching across the aisle.
"This fine public servant, this defender of the realm, this champion of law and order, deserves better. But, in the larger interest of healing the nation's wounds, and bringing the country back together after a hard-fought election, I have very reluctantly agreed to the requests from the senior Democratic leadership that Director Comey be dismissed with immediate effect. The FBI must command the confidence of everyone in order to reliably do its important job."
Eliminate a liberal apparatchik and leave the liberal leadership holding the bag for it. A twofer.
The only way to have done it better would have been to roll into the package a simultaneous canning of McCabe.

Brilliant.
This is the crap I bang on about, I know. But he just took White Nationalism & changed it. So people can begin saying it is NOT white nationalism, it is Economic Nationalism. Take the word back, just like we took Fake news.
Will the GOPe catch on? B/c the media won't use it until pushed.
Damn, it was brilliant. Perfect New Party platform, btw.
I found it interesting he said the Dems get it & are trying to get identity politics out of their party.
I had never considered the new party as having Dems in it. But if their party is sinking, and they are old school Dems, maybe happens. Actually, it is perfect strategy. B/c that gives old school Libs more incentive to jump to a new party.
Then, in a election, you aren't dividing the vote between 2 right wing parties. Oh yes, this is very smart.
Smart for the country.
Just crystal ballin'. But it's nice to be jazzed about something, instead of bummed. To see there are long term plans, not just reactions to daily battles. Ya gotta have long term strategy to win the war.

I mean, anyone could just type the name of (any celebrity) + "legs" in any search engine and get the same results plus many more.
And you could look at the legs of the celebrities of your choosing, not have to tune in each week to some website, hoping they chose some that you happen to like.

If you ever sit for an interview, one of the things to have in the contractual ground rules is that you'll have your own independent audiovisual team present and recording throughout.
There are several famous examples of Mike Wallace showing up with his _60 Minutes_ van and finding just such a second crew on hand, and throwing a huge snit, and refusing to continue.

But that requires you to know whose legs you want to search for. Through something like that, you can potentially see the legs of celebrities who you were not familiar with, or did not know the name of already.
Plus, I know I like looking at Kate Upton. I don't necessarily know immediately that she had a new photo shoot that was released last night, so I need to look for new pictures of her today while pretending to work.

"President Trump should have come out and said, 'the guy was a political
hack and I had a bigly lack of trust in his integrity and judgement.'"
No no! Not like that!
Remember,
there was a brief window of time, a formally declared Two Minutes'
Hate, during which Comey was the lightning rod of Democratic resentment
over Clinton's loss. Comey hadn't yet been abruptly retconned into a
hero figure.
A bunch of the liberal nomenklatura, to include
Chuck Schumer, were openly calling at the time for Comey's dismissal.
UpChuck had whined that he was "appalled at what Director Comey did".
Trump
should have just taken them up on it. Fired Comey during the first 72
hours, and framed it as a more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger thing.
Bipartisanship. Comity. Civility. Reaching across the aisle.
"This
fine public servant, this defender of the realm, this champion of law
and order, deserves better. But, in the larger interest of healing the
nation's wounds, and bringing the country back together after a
hard-fought election, I have very reluctantly agreed to the requests
from the senior Democratic leadership that Director Comey be dismissed
with immediate effect. The FBI must command the confidence of everyone
in order to reliably do its important job."
Eliminate a liberal apparatchik and leave the liberal leadership holding the bag for it. A twofer.
The only way to have done it better would have been to roll into the package a simultaneous canning of McCabe.

I liked that he qualified the statement.
Saying that Hillary is not "bright" may be true, but it entirely depends on what you mean by the word "bright."
Hillary undoubtedly has a high IQ and had very good SAT scores. A non-legacy girl simply didn't get admitted to Wellesley back in her day without sterling academic credentials. And she excelled there at a time when grades actually meant something.
But there are plenty of people who are school-smart who are not "bright" in other ways --- and Hillary is a textbook case for this. She has been a manifest failure at every single job at which she has been entrusted. It really is extraordinary.

Yeah, no softball questions *there*, you can be sure, from the longtime spouse of Garry "Doonesbury" Trudeau, and sponsor of every liberal cause celebre for the last forty years.
Among other things, Felonia said that she had found Trump's inaugural address, which she had attended, to be "a cry from the white nationalist gut".
At this, Pauley nodded gravely, while wearing her well practiced face of deep personal concern. From what wellsprings of inner spiritual strength were you able to endure this terrible ordeal, Madame Secretary?
Something that'll never happen, but which would be great fun, would be to hand Her Nibs a highlighter, and a printed transcript of Trump's inaugural address, and ask her to pick out specifically the passages which she considered to be a white nationalist "cry from the gut".

I heard Gorka on John Batchelor's show last week and he was singing Trump's praises. Maybe Trump is one of those guys that inspires loyalty--even after you officially leave his team.
Notice how during the election virtually NO ONE who was fired by Trump in any of his businesses came forward to rip him publicly? And that includes ex-wives.

2) Recently succumbed to the power of the Dark Side
III) Stayed up for 36 hours cramming for the interview
Fourthly) Is the villain from Casino Royale

Fucking THIS. I was watching Steyn on Tucker talking about Hillary blaming Bernie, Macedonians, etc. etc., and the loop clip they had on was Bernie speaking on Hillz' behalf. Watch Hillary in that clip. It is totally plain that because she is not firing on all cylinders, she is having to strain *hard* to gauge what emotions Bernie is conveying and what emotions to grotesquely mime in response.
It's like the "BALLOONS!" flesh-puppet display, but more sustained and probably even creepier. She is clearly bending every stray brain cell to try to imagine what Bernie feels and means her to feel, because she has NO. IDEA. Not on an emotional level.

So, even if Bannon does drink a lot, doesn't mean he's an alcoholic, at least I hope not.

All in all it was an OK interview. Big pluses for his comments about Hillary and the difference between dogma and non-dogma in the church. But TBH he did not come off nearly as well as his supporters think he did.
Big minus for giving the interview at all, because that allowed 60 Minutes to mess with the color saturation/lighting to make him look like a drunk on a 3 day bender. (Note how bright the orange curtains are behind Bannon compared to those same curtains behind Rose).

And may God bless the families of all the first responders who were lost that day and in the days following.

into an inability to fully grasp the motivations of others or
accurately guess at their thinking. It also explains her inability to
perform even the most rudimentary retail politicking that entails
unrehearsed human interaction.
And arrogance, condescension.
Hillary thinks *we* are so very dumb we need her ideas on how the government can attend to our every need.
One of Hillary's bright ideas as a NY Senator?
She wanted to create a national/federal 800# and associated call center so that people who needed any sort of federal assistance could call it in order to reach the right person. Apparently she felt the American public was incapable of using a phonebook and/or the web to look up these magical, mysterious federal agency etc. contact numbers.

Going into Iraq was the proper thing to do. What we did when there and Obama abandoning are the issues, in much the same way we abandoned Afghanistan after driving the Soviets out of it.
As for Comey's firing, he is wrong again. The problems are the lack of necessity of any special counsel being appointed, Mueller's appointment - he is Comey's mentor - and a lack of proper oversight and guidance of the investigation.

That was an Obamaism. "Empathy" is the ability to feel for someone because you have experienced the same thing. It's a sharing of "passion." "Sympathy" where "sym" means "like," is feeling compassion, sorrow, or pity for the hardships that another person encounters.
The left throws out "empathy" instead of "sympathy" because the collective fucking Borg would all have the common experience.
Obama liked to run around talking about "moral empathy" which doesn't make sense at all.
I'd call Hillary a reptile, but she isn't that far up the evolutionary scale.

farcebook post from Oconee County, GA Sheriff's Department;
Realistically speaking, please be prepared to be without electricity
for a few days due to high winds and trees taking out utility lines.
You might even lose your internet connection, which probably scares you more than being without TV or air conditioning.
I don't know what you need to get by for a few days without power. You
should have a good idea of what you need and I hope you already have
it. If you have someone elderly in your family you take care of then
plan with them accordingly.
It is going to rain, hard. Trees will
fall. Up to 60mph winds will launch your porch furniture over into
your neighbors yard. Normally that would be hilarious, but his porch
furniture will launch into your yard too. Anything you don't want
launched should be put out of the wind.
It is hard for us to plan
ahead for what we call the "stupid factor". I don't know why, but it
seems that someone always wants to do something stupid no matter the
unique weather event. Try to avoid the stupid factor. Stupid makes
more work for us, EMTs and ER personnel. In fact, stupid is the reason
most of us have jobs. If you have stupid friends, avoid them until
the power comes back on. If YOU are the stupid one, then please sit
this one out and wait til an ice storm to come along before you
demonstrate your capabilities.

Right, people do not understand the term "nation building." It does not mean "rebuilding a war-torn nation after you win." That's just what we do as a generous, powerful, and wealthy people.
What "nation building" means is "go into a country to fix it" like Kosovo or Somalia (or Syria or North Korea would be). That's stupid, wrong, and doomed to failure and ignominy.
One is invading a nation because of just cause for war, then repairing the damage we did. The other is just showing up to fix things because we know better and are so great. Its arrogant, stupid, and doomed to failure.

There is a difference. If you control basic necessities of life, like food, people are forced to deal with you.

THIS again. The Neo-Cons mean well--I am fully willing to grant them that. But they do not acknowledge reality. Just like in immigration, where they think everyone who wants to come here is a budding storekeeper if not an entrepreneur. Even more than the mushy leftists, and utterly unlike the treasonous ones, the neo-cons believe in Things That Just Are Not So. They suffer from Multiculturalism Of The Right.

Alex was actually sort of complimenting you, but in an "I'm scared" manner. Suggesting that you had verbally taken up your rapier for the skewering, and the idea that that was out of character.

His testimony before congress, particularly when he was absolutely shredded by Trey Gowdy over "intent" gave me the impression that he knows he's doing wrong, he knows what he should do, and simply does not give a crap.

Not really...Bush made a choice to "nation build".
Had we destroyed the Iraqi army, level bombed the major cities a bit, killed their leaders, and told the whole middle east "this is what we will do every damn time you make us come back", things would have been rather different.

I don't care when he joined the campaign. His agenda and PDT's were pretty much aligned on many things.. America First, Border Security, Judges, Tax Reform, Illegal Immigration, Pro Israel.

That's really weak evidence. There is no data on her SAT scores, none on her IQ, and none on her GPA. Simply imputing it to her because she graduated a school is facile.

... and yet, he is so profoundly vain that when his vanity combines with cowardice, he *has to* recast his every action as that of a noble hero. It's not okay that anyone accuse him of anything BECAUSE YOU'RE MESSING UP THE SAGA OF NOBLE COMEY, DAMMIT. Which remains unchallenged and the script to the insane movie in his head because he's too afraid of others to make plain to them just how much of an egocentrically twisted Walter Mitty But Evil he is.
He'd make a hell of an insane LE D&D villain.

Um, yes, really. Destroying a regime means putting something in its place. Trying to remake Iraq into a proto-America ("The Shia have enough votes to dominate the government--but so did the Virginians") would *fail*, but at least replace the son of a bitch we toppled with a pro-USA son of a bitch.

That's the way I see it.
One thing that struck me when reading all of the insider books about the Clinton presidency was that all of the writers, one way or another, let it slip that Hillary had an almost non-existent relationship with her daughter.
Chelsea could see her father at just about any time with 5 minutes notice. But to see her mother, she had to make advance appointments through staff and had to have a reason.

Saddam had invited AQ to Iraq after 9/11, and Zarqawi was setting up shop at his behest.
Meanwhile Iraqi and AQ forces were attacking our allies in Kurdistan.

After the bollard seizure they took Hillary off to the private clinic and loader her up with stem cells and had some child run up to her on the sidewalk outside. As the child got close, she stopped short. Frozen. Like a toad caught in the gaze of a snake.

Yeah, Bill isn't psychotic, just scuzzy. He's not clinical like Hillary, he's just willing to do anything and say anything to get what he wants, and is charming and skilled at that. I have known guys like that in the past, which is why he never fooled me for a moment.

THIS again. After the Great National Upchuck of 1994, when leftist Demunists were often vomited out of the body politic, Billy Jeff triangulated, co-opted ideas like welfare reform, and came out on top again. Why? Because deep down and unlike his wife, Billy Jeff was NOT all about the Cultural Marxism. Billy Jeff was all about--himself.
Posted by: Curmudgeon at September 11, 2017 04:14 PM (ujg0T)
Also, Trump's ideology was a sort of blend of a lot of things. Look at when he was flirting with his run on Perot's Reform Party.
I think Bannon was the one that helped him marry that sort of Populism with Conservatism.
Had Bannon not been around I think it would have been Kushner that had predominant influence and Trump would have been a Republican more like George Pataki.

I liked that he qualified the statement.
Saying that Hillary is not "bright" may be true, but it entirely depends on what you mean by the word "bright."
Hillary undoubtedly has a high IQ and had very good SAT scores. A non-legacy girl simply didn't get admitted to Wellesley back in her day without sterling academic credentials. And she excelled there at a time when grades actually meant something.
But there are plenty of people who are school-smart who are not "bright" in other ways --- and Hillary is a textbook case for this. She has been a manifest failure at every single job at which she has been entrusted. It really is extraordinary.

One of the funniest things in 'Shattered' is when she admits to a confidante that there's something going on out there with the electorate but she just can't wrap her head around it. But she'll be the bestest president ever!

No, it isn't weak evidence. It's very, very strong.
I know what kind of credentials a non-legacy kid (with no great wealth) had to have to get into Wellesley back then.
Please remember that in 1965 most of the Ivy League schools were male-only. The best-and-brightest women went to the "seven sisters" and competition was fierce, especially for a Midewestern nobody.
I would add that she would not have been admitted to Yale Law without a good GPA and LSATs. Not in 1969.
And you couldn't get a good GPA at Wellesley just by breathing back then.

I seriously wonder if Robby Mook is on the spectrum for autism. He was obsessed with his analytics to the exclusion of all else. His numbers were all that mattered. He was incapable of factoring in anything else that was going on with the campaign. It says a lot about Hillary that she chose him as the best person to run her campaign.

So the massive leftward shift in this country since they took power is... a coincidence? An accident? Some black magic made policy shift everywhere, despite their solid opposition and control of the levers of power in legislatures, schools, courts, and executives?

In their youth, sadly the Boomers WERE a leftward force. However, they have wised up as they aged, certainly more than the Silent Generation that preceeded them.
To our credit, I think we in Generation X have been mostly Right from the get go. 8-)
