They all love Bernie Sanders don’t they?
Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, the lone living Koch Brother, Rebekah Mercer, and Vlad Putin.
But especially…Steve Bannon. Because this is Bannon’s vision unfolding in front of the world as the status quo institutions in America are being diminished every day in front of our eyes.
Our rabble culture, the courts and the legal system being pushed aside, but most importantly the shift from democracy to a hybrid of government authoritarianism by intimidation.
Trump doesn’t have a doctrine per se other than the Roger Kahn always fight back harder dogma. This is Steve Bannon’s doctrine. His plan. He was the one who connected Cambridge Analytica with Rebekah Mercer even when the Mercers were still funding Ted Cruz at the time.
I mean, I begrudgingly have to give him credit for being one very smart dude.
Think of this…Donald Trump now owns every share of what was once known as the GOP coming into tonight’s debate in Vegas. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party after failing to even censor Donald Trump, let alone impeach him, has a seventy-seven year old Democratic Socialist with a bad heart and virtually no record whatsoever of accomplishment during his time in government as their leading candidate coming out of New Hampshire.
Who could write this other than Steve Bannon?
Tell me with a straight face anyone other than Steve Bannon could have written this script better … let alone hoped for such a scenario to unfold in real time.
So…in Vegas of all places, Steve Bannon has all his chips in the pot tonight betting Bernie Sanders and the other Democratic debaters can end Michael Bloomberg’s rise in the polls as a viable candidate to challenge our Manchurian POTUS.
I hate to admit it…it’s going to be very hard at this point betting against Steve Bannon.
One last thing. Let me add this brief interview Bernie did with the Young Turks. To me…it perfectly illustrates who Bernie Sanders is and isn’t.
Okay… I think most of us were appalled by Wall Street’s complicity in the 2008 economic crisis even though they all paid back their loans with interest. Now—we could have not bailed out Wall Street and let the entire U.S. economy burn to the ground. But you know what happens then….people who need the government most don’t get their Social Security, don’t get their VA benefits, the military goes unfunded, people don’t get their Medicare, don’t get Medicaid assistance, don’t get FEMA disaster aid, prisons go unfunded, don’t get their farm subsidy, don’t get their job in the automobile industry saved, don’t get federal or state unemployment assistance, don’t get educational grants, and or don’t get welfare assistance…. and states don’t get their federal grants which in essence keeps states like Oklahoma< Alabama, and West Virginia afloat. None of that happens if you just let if burn to the ground.
So…what was the plan, Bernie… to keep the American economy afloat? Short of eliminating every facet of the American economy you want to destroy which pays for all the above?
