Half of the lip reading wasn’t even “bad”…it was spot on.
Steve Bannon said his mission was to “destroy the administrative state.”
That would include going after the administrator (the President).
Presumably he has plenty of dirt on Mr. Trump (and perhaps cabinet officials and GOP politicians) he can sling. His fanbase will follow right along.
I don’t think Senator McConnell is out of the woods yet in getting rid of that thorn in his side.

He said he’d support DACA, demanded the wall, and repeated the bs about how the border patrol agency endorsed him and claimed he lived with them and told a Representative who has no doubt spent much more time on the border than he has that the wall was needed.

I have to admit I love the white washing of Breitbart’s legacy. It’s almost like Andrew Breitbart didn’t push an edited video to get a DOA employee fired from her job, like he didn’t shout shit at Occupy protesters, I’m sorry his family lost their loved one but Bannon didn’t distort Breitbart’s legacy, he continued it and Ben was happy to take Bannon’s money for a good while too.

It’s tough sometimes, because the sadistic, evil part of you (and we all have one, don’t lie!) wants you to be glad he’s dead.

Oh yeah we’re only human. All I said was I wasn’t happy he died. I wasn’t mourning him either and trust me Skip, I resent as much as you do the attempts to rewrite his legacy into something it wasn’t but I still felt bad when he died for his family’s sake. Now, politics wise, he was no loss but as we saw, he did get replaced by something just as bad. Let’s say Bannon drinks himself to death tonight. We know that the Mercers have someone just as fucked up at Breitbart eager to take his place. I have no problem at all with criticizing the recently deceased. I hated when Thatcher died the attempts to deify her and ignore her cruelty to the poor of Britain, I hated how the media white-washed Reagan’s soft racism, etc but I still could see that someone had lost a loved one too.

You know what I hate most about the bigots to the El Salvadorians? It was the policies they supported under Reagan that created the conditions for them to emigrate in the first place. I mean I’m glad to know all the El Salvadorians that I know obviously but our policies adversely impacted their country and helped create MS-13. And man I really hate every El Salvadorian male being lumped in with that gang.
Not to mention Trump didn’t give a fuck or know what the hell MS-13 was until two years ago probably when his asshole advisers like Miller told him that it would scare the idiots about El Salvadorian immigrants into voting for him. I’ve known about MS-13 for a long time. In fact, until that Neo-Nazi shithead murdered his girlfriend’s parents, it was one of the few murders I could remember in my hometown area. But you know what? I didn’t hold it against every El Salvadorian because that would be fucking absurd.

Yep and that’s on St. Reagan who had no knowledge at all about the region and just wanted to be anti-communist without knowing anything about the country or its people. Didn’t know that about Mexico btw. I know more about MS-13 since i know more El Salvadorians and those of El Salvadorian descent than I do those of Mexican.

I live very near Langley Park in MD, so I see the damage that MS13 is doing, that is a very minor minor number of El Salvadorans who make vastly disproportionate headlines to their number; MS13 is despised by the majority because they also live in fear.

He could also have his surplus wives killed. I guess Trump could too since he’s above the law.

Henry VIII is actually a good comparison though I’ve read Henry was quite intelligent and well read.
Let’s face it - reading AT ALL makes one more well read than Trump.
I missed this story of peaceful religion.
Police: Lincoln Man Shot Neighbor Following Argument over The Bible (goes to the Lincoln, Nebr. Journal-Star)
Apparently, they got into an argument about scripture. The man pulled out a gun, and the neighbour decided it was best to go home and left. The man then went to his house and shot him twice from outside it.

That’s true heh.

It’s sometimes hard to keep all the players in this administration straight. If I recall correct, Cohen is one of Trump’s many attorneys. Kind of dumb to sue the press but perhaps he’s trying to pull a Peter Thiel.

Discovery will be a blast. That and the depositions.

I’m guessing he’s making an empty threat. He isn’t going to allow discovery. It’s mostly meat for the right-wing base.

Exactly. It dumbfounds me why these RWNJs go to court, alleging libel or defamation, when the respondents have every right to call witnesses and depose associates of the RWNJs. And Cohen is allegedly a lawyer, too.
Rage Furby has the same habit. Every complaint he has filed gets tossed out, or he gets raked over the coals by the other side, and yet he continues to file lawsuits.

As Anymouse alluded to, this is all about spinning up the wingnut welfare bandwagon and drumming up outrage and sympathy. The ones who still have a functioning brain (e.g. not the Rage Furby) don’t actually intend to press the suit to the point where discovery or depositions occur.

A fair point. RF seems to be using his latest effort to raise money, though so far his campaign has been notably unsuccessful.
That complaint he filed against Twitter is a joke. IANAL and I can tell he’s got nothing to stand on. It’s a political statement/sore loser diatribe pretending to be a legal complaint. CA Superior Court ought to fine him and his lawyer for frivolous lawsuits.

Two points. First, Cromwell was not only sent to The Tower, but also had his head lopped off. Seems appropriate.
Second, Henry VIII had SIX wives, and managed to do that by 55. Trump’s only had THREE wives and he’s 71! Sad!
Well, Trump divorced 2 wives. He can’t behead them or let them die in childbirth.

Cohen has so many ties to Russians & Russian $$$ it’s not even funny. (as the old saying goes)
