    I'm noticing a pattern here.

      Bannon, whom stated that his company, Breibart, was a "forum for the alt-right", is not actually alt-right. He also does not disavow the alt-right, but sees them as an ally. He created a really nifty andvance algorithm that uses polling data to determine the greatest amount of overlap in political issues. He utilized this to create a populist platform for Trump to run on. Because, by a damn miracle, Teump won the POTUS, we have two key takeaways:

      Bannon's metrics are ridiculously accuarate and may be the political equivalent of Money ball.

      Trump trusts Bannon.

      • FWIW, the number one way to lose to an SJW liberal is to apologize for offenses rendered. By apologizing, one lends credence to their value system. The denial of an apology renders leftist idealogues to demonstrate logically that their opponent is morally inferior. Because moral inferiority is a difficult logic to prove out, triggered SJWs will act like irrational children.

        Notice that Trump never apologizes. It's an effective, yet divisive tactic.

        • Blowback from this week's presser continues as White House cancels infrastructure advisory council.

          Not that Congress needs any help slowing things down but this is gonna take a minute to regain momentum for much of anything I would imagine.

                Missouri lawmaker posts, deletes Trump assassination comment

                Sen. Marie Chappelle-Nadal said she has no intention of resigning over a comment she posted and then deleted Thursday.

                • The assassination comment makes me think.

                  How should comments, made in frustration, and quickly and completely retracted, be dealt with? Obviously the retraction does not fully excuse the comment, but also, I understand that comments made out of emotion are not the same as those well thought out and defended.

                  Not saying she shouldn't resign or be fired. Maybe so. Maybe not. I'm unsure. Just saying that I feel torn as to the exact response that is appropriate.

                    I thought about it a lot, too. I think for me, if you're an elected official, you probably need to stop down after saying something like this, even if you quickly retract it. Part of the deal as a politician is that you should attempt to be above reproach.

                    For me, I probably wouldn't fire someone if someone sent me a screenshot of an employee having a similar emotional and heated response to something, so long as they quickly apologized and said it was a mistake. I don't know, though.

                    And is it worse if the heated or emotional response is discriminatory? Like, if during Obama's presidency someone called for his assassination in the same way but also called him the n-word. For example, when Jonah Hill insulted the guy photographing him by calling him a derogatory term for a gay person. He immediately went on one of the late night shows and did an incredible apology, but the insult itself was rooted in prejudice on top of being rooted in frustration. Obviously calling someone a name is probably not as bad as wishing someone dies, but they are both just words. And they are both coming out of a place of immediate frustration and emotion. But only one of them adds in another bad element that I probably don't want festering in my workplace. It's certainly an interesting thing to talk about.

                    But, for me, it's clear she should step down as an elected official.

                            Not saying yes or no, but what would happen to us if you or I did as she did? Then, to her, add the responsibility of being an elected official and leader of her constituents.

                              President Pence would be great.
