Bannon's Breitbart tears into Trump after Afghanistan speech

[DonViejo]

Articles liken the president's approach to Obama's, and blame the national security adviser for the tone of the address.

Breitbart seems ready for one of Steve Bannon’s famed “wars.”

Just minutes after President Donald Trump concluded his Afghanistan policy speech Monday night, the conservative site took an aggressive, critical approach to the address and Trump’s new policy. A banner headline blasted the president’s decision to extend the U.S. military commitment in Afghanistan as a “flip-flop” that “reverses course.”

Articles likened him to his predecessor, President Barack Obama — a known sore spot for Trump.

Monday’s address in front of service members in Fort Meyer, Virginia, was a first, big test of what Breitbart will do now that Bannon, the former White House chief strategist, has returned to run the site he left to join Trump’s White House bid.

The new, re-Bannoned Breitbart didn’t seem to hold back at all.

“Trump’s ‘America First’ Base Unhappy with Flip-Flop Afghanistan Speech,” blared one headline.

1. Basic strategery of evil empire* russia: divide and conquer

as the kremlin pursues its ongoing ACTS OF WAR** against the USA's nuclear facilities, power grid and democratic elections***

Exactly what role does republican Comrade Bannon play in this evil scheme?


* per ronald reagan
** per dick freaking cheney
*** per all 17 US Intelligence Agencies

3. Weird people to be citing, methinks,

not to mention out-dated. And if you are referring to Vermont's power grid, that was debunked almost as soon as it was written.

P.s. In this oligarchic era I doubt that "comrade" is the preferred form of address

5. Oooo, everything's up-to-date in Treason City (R) !

They've gone about as fur as they can go...Ooo

In the end, Comrade Shanny, there ain't nothing debunkable about the conclusion of our US Intelligence Agencies:

Intelligence Director Says
Agencies Agree on Russian Meddling

ASPEN, Colorado — Daniel Coats, the director of national intelligence, said Friday there is no dissent inside U.S. intelligence agencies about the conclusion that Russia used hacking and fake news to interfere in the 2016 presidential election — despite comments by his boss, President Donald Trump, that have seemed to cast some doubt about the unanimity.

2. Nobody but the disaffected Trump base is listening to Breitbart. Bannon has killed them off.

Talk radio is on its way out too. Too much truth and facts have been unleashed in fighting back at Trump. Stuff their base never heard before. They will not acknowledge it but they heard it. They will continue to screech and scream but deep down where their alter-fact-based world sunk deep into their dark souls, the tiniest speck of light has penetrated the darkness. Many of them will never be the same.

Charlottesville lingers deep.

4. There's nothing I find more frustrating than the Democratic circular firing squad. But the lunatic

right circular firing squad is one of my favorite things.
