…This is a 1932-type realignment, if we do this right. Look at the demographics that got us here – black, Hispanic, white, working class, all of it.

We don’t have to lose to Speaker Jeffries, and Democrats who get in there and impeach Trump. To do that you have to break that mindset that stock buybacks are fine, that crony capitalism is fine, and the tax breaks for the corporations are fine, then you’re going to squander a unique moment in history.

There’s no more strategy involved. This is just execution.

Where does Elon fit into this? Where do the other very wealthy people coming into this administration fit into this?

Number one, these guys were all progressive Democrats in Trump’s first term. Look at Bezos, Zuckerberg, and all these guys coming to kiss the ring. With Elon — look, he wrote a quarter of a fucking billion dollar check when we had no money, when Trump had no money. He and I are disagreeing on just about everything, particularly China. But he didn’t do what most wealthy people do, and got sucked in by the consultant class to do TV ads.

Yeah let’s, like the Marxist we just defeated last month.

Someone tell this ranter there’s a reason he was ejected and to shut his moronic facehole.

Bannon: I saw Nicolle Wallace say that on MSNBC one night. Figured she made sense. Admittedly it was a few beers into my evening.

So ole Steve Bannon is nothing more than a tax and spend liberal. Someone who fundamentally believes in the redistribution of wealth, and that those who already pay almost all the income taxes still aren't taxed enough.

What's the difference between him and Tip O'Neil?

To: KierkegaardMAN

Sure Steve that’ll solve our money problems. Sheesh!
