Breitbarts influence grows inside White House
Source: The Hill
President Trumps chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, is dipping into Breitbart News to staff the White House.
The hires give Bannon more loyalists in Trumps West Wing, and also raise Breitbarts profile and power.
It comes as the conservative news organization, led by Bannon until last year, seeks to expand its influence in Washington and the world.
One of Breitbarts biggest stars, Julia Hahn, is expected to join the White House as an aide to Bannon. Breitbarts national security editor, Sebastian Gorka, will also relocate to the White House, likely with a spot on the presidents National Security Council, Business Insider reported on Tuesday.

(13,616 posts)Frankly my dear, I'm even more paranoid. After all, is anyone here put Steve Bannon, or the folks that follow Steve Bannon, above the idea of trying to do their equipment of the Berlin beer beer hall riot? Every staffer but Steve Bannon puts in the White House gives him that much more control and it allows him to either be puppetmaster or if the puppies decide that they don't like their strings, those strings can be woven easily into nooses. Note that most of these people, like the typical Breitbart employee are young with thin resumes. It will not be that hard to go ahead and send them off to say and do stupid things.
It is very easy to go ahead and ponder who the worst cancer in the Trump White House is; heaven knows there's plenty of them on all fronts. However as long as Steve Bannon is in any position of influence outside of being that one loud drunk at at a non-trendy PBR bar, he is a menace, because he and his followers do indeed want to repeat Berlin circa 1930. What's even worse is that Adolf Hitler did not match to get the bomb, these people would have it and they would use it.

It's president bannon running this well-oiled censor-fest, far as I'm concerned, with a big rah-rah from the gluttonous repugs in the House -

Hell, I'm as serious as ten heart attacks, capped off with a roadside bomb.
Google "Dugin Bannon" and weep at who has become Trump's consigliere. He's a self-identified Leninist for fuck's sake. Even Glenn Beck thinks he's dangerous.
