    Reminder that Bannon plead guilty for fraud because he created a fake “build the wall group” that asked for donations to build a racist wall. Bannon instead pocketed the money using it to live in lavish luxury.

    Dude is opposed to schools because he needs more people to fleece.

    If you want him to succumb to alcoholism faster send him whiskey. Preferably made in mexico to keep his blood pressure up.

      Okay that’s kind of hilarious. Absolutely vile, evil guy but I’m not going to hold that one against him. Just wish I’d thought of it first

    What a great talking point from Mr. “Flood the Zone”. Let’s all focus on that instead of the Epstein files!

    Was wondering when they were going to start closing down universities for being “communist”. Looks like we’re heading to that stage now.

        Brits have been using it that way for centuries. Go dig through papers from the 1800s, you’ll find them describing anyone resisting their colonialism as “terrorists”. Legally, the US is working from the exact same definition that British common law uses.

          That makes sense, since, as far as i can tell, the U.S. seems to be a modern hybrid of the British empire which spawned it and the German war machine it assimilated into itself about 80 years ago.

        It’s amazing how much damage Bin Laden did to America by killing what traffic does in a few weeks (or toddlers with guns in a decade). Trillions in debt, scared shitless and divided like never before.

      When I was young, an age ago, the word terrorist had a specific meaning, which was someone committing shocking acts to strike fear and hysteria into the general public and thereby influence society and policy.

      Then 9/11 happened and although the 19 attackers were most definitely terrorists by the old definition, somehow the definition drifted until it meant “inhuman opponent against whom we are justified to suspend the rules and respond in any way we want to.”

      Ironically, this usage itself is designed to inspire fear and keep people from looking too closely at what’s happening. “Oh no! Terrorists! Fine! Just kill them! Keep us safe!” Using people’s fear to justify whatever our military and government want to do comes ominously close to the old definition of terrorism.

    Not being snarky, but that sounds exactly like a drunk rant.

    And yeah, schools are devastating our children, but it ain’t the Marxists and globalists. I could rant for an hour, that’s a whole 'nother post.

    Private and public? So just schools in general? Or is home schooling ok? Oh, but I’m sure you want some books burned first.

      Yeah! Because the current federal administration is already well in progress in sabotaging and gutting our entire education system, someone like Bannon is just trying to farm publicity and engagement for saying the outlandish things already happening.

    All schooling? Sounds like Steve Bannon wants to ban home schooling and wants to make Sunday school illegal.
