Bannon has a tendency to drift back from his mic.

While it's important that any future president continues the MAGA principles, it's equally as important that any such person has quantifiable executive experience.

Generally speaking, congressmen do not. I would look to governors and the business world for strong executive candidates. Potentially even retired generals and admirals.

Learning how to be an executive, on the job in the presidency, is simply a recipe for ineffectiveness, regardless of intentions.

Well that wasn't your original question was it. And you keep adding to your comments after the fact. I'm not sure what your game is here other than wanting a reason to complain about Gaetz?

It takes about 30 seconds to find that many did, dating back to the 1800s. Political writing has long been a part of the game, and if you think their egos were any smaller back then, you'd be incorrect. It's true some would publish under a pen name, but nearly all top level politicians wrote extensively, and yes many wrote memoirs. One of the best were those of Grant.

Books, papers, owning newspapers have always been a part of politics in the US.

Since the Founders honestly. It's a way to make cases for policy. Sure a lot do it to make money, but lousy books don't sell.

Do I read TDW at midnight?

Is the pope communist?

While I have no reason to believe any foul play was involved in that, as someone who had a Master electrician license and worked as an electrician, an electrical fire is the easiest kind of arson to cover up. Many homes have preexisting faults as a lot of guys who do inspections are lazy and just pencil whip it and take the money, builders cut corners, and the big one is that many home owners simply aren't knowledgeable enough about electrical and fire safety and do things that promote the possibility of an electrical fire starting and spreading.

I mean, how many times have you seen a guy just slap electrical tape on a worn extension cord, pull cords out of a wall from 10 feet away bending prongs and straining the wires or connections, or "upgrade" the fuse sizes in their fuse box? People do all kinds of things they shouldn't. And electrical inspector and a fire inspector could walk into any random home in the US and find dozens of things that could start a fire. Including the "take the battery out of that annoying, chirping smoke detector" lol.

Very easy to "nudge" that over the edge and burn a house down without anyone being suspicious.

They actually added having cameras. I don't think that's a bad idea as long as image is clear and observers can easily challenge them.

I don't think he can. For the same reason President Trump couldn't just order troops into Portland to put down the riots.

Yeah makes an old sailor like me a bit ashamed.

I have a really hard time believing that 50/50 thing, but I've been out for a while now. Probably depends on what mos or ratings they are.

Because a lot of late Boomers and early Gen Xers were lousy parents.

I'm 42, I'm in a limbo gap between gen x and millenials. It's all a bit confusing.

She didn't use them.

Get a firestick or roku.

The winds of shit are a'blowin Mr Lahey.

Lol at least Bannon is self-aware enough to say 'promise I'll let them speak after the break".

I don't think they're even testing for influenza this year.

That's obviously John Wayne, dressed as McClintock.

Yep, my Dad listened to him all of the time.

Yeah he's a real disappointment. It didn't take him long at all to get corrupted in Washington. I'm thinking he is one of those guys who feel like he paid his debts already and it's time to take his share of the pie.

I think the main reason why Trump decided not to push it back then is because it would disrupt his plans at the time. His immediate plans were to deal with Economic and National Security; taxes, regulations, foreign policy, etc. We were quickly heading into trouble in both areas and he had to act on those first before facing the cause of it all, and the sole reason he ran in the first place, The Swamp.

This fraud, as well as the Hunter Biden stuff, are entry points for "draining the swamp", ie. the attempt to root out corruption in government. The global corruption of Biden's dealings are only one, easy to investigate example of overall global corruption connected to elected and unelected officials alike.

This massive election fraud is an example of Domestic Corruption that they can investigate. I don't think anyone, Trump or otherwise thought that they would go as far as they did, but it's not important. He would have gone after it either way, even if he got his win already, looking to investigate House or Senate races that went awry.

The reason all of that is important is because all of these people are connected. Hunter Biden, for example, is not important in the gran scheme of things. It's just that he is connected to dozens, who are connected to many others and one investigation leads to another, and to another. Same with the election fraud. Lots of hands caught in the cookie jar on that one.

It's hard to just (legally) investigate people without a crime. The Swamp can do that as they have the media to convince everyone it's OK. But Trump couldn't direct Barr or anyone else to do that. He needed crimes to lead into investigations. And now we have more crimes than we can shake a stick at. With SCOTUS rulings establishing the legal claim of election fraud as at least "plausible", he's got all the standing he'll need to investigate everything and go where it leads.

It's going to be a long 4 years for our corrupt government.

We're in the hard part of a legal battle that was always eventually going to make it to SCOTUS, but still tried to stop this obvious fraud before it had to go that far. The Left seems unwilling to give it up without getting their "moral victory" by getting to claim for 4 years that Trump's SCOTUS stole the election.

That's what is happening right now. When they lose, it's going to tear them apart. Just ignore all of their bs. They lost when they decided to cheat that much.

The video she referred to is supposedly public and from some time in the past. So I'd imagine it's already out there somewhere and has been for a while.
