Kushner obviously wins in Kushner v. Bannon, right? As much influence as Bannon may have had Trump could tell him to F off forever and not really think twice about it.

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley impeachment report is out:

Next page:
Quote:
Within a few days of Hannah’s deposition, she believes on or about June 6,
2016, Hannah was outside of her new home watering plants when she heard what sounded like her bushes rustling. Unsure of the source of the noise, she walked to the fron
t of her house where she noticed “scribbles” on the windows of her vehicle.
She stated that at the time she could tell the scribbles were some sort of writing, but she had difficulty reading it. She took photographs of the writing on her windows, and it showed up much clearer in the pictures. Hannah provided the two pictures to Special Counsel, which are attached to this report and contained in Exhibit 9A at 217-218. The first photograph is of writing on what appears to be the driver side windows of her
vehicle, and it appears to read, “***** Die.”
The second
photograph is of writing on the windshield, and it appears to read, “You will ****ing die.”
On June 15, 2016, Hannah was at her home preparing for bed. She turned off the light in her kitchen and was walking to the back of her house when she heard the sound of breaking glass. She walked back to her kitchen where she believed the sound originated and saw a rock lying on the floor. She also observed a broken panel in a large window on the front of her house. Hannah immediately called the police, who came to her home and took a police report at twenty minutes after midnight. At that time, Hannah also advised the officers of the vandalism of her vehicle. The police report reflects that Hannah told the officers at the time that she believed both incidents were related to her recent deposition. Hannah testified during her deposition by Special Counsel that she believed both incidents were related to her testimony before the Alabama Ethics Commission. She based that belief on two facts. First, she could recall no personal or business conflicts outside of her service in the Office of the Governor. Second, her residence was located in a Birmingham suburb with an exceptionally low crime rate. It is also important to note that she had recently moved to the residence, and to her knowledge, her address had not been officially changed. However, she had sent a text message to a number of friends, updating her address. She stated that the distribution list of her text would have included
friends with “pretty strong connections to the capital.”

There is an absolute zero percent chance Bannon wins a fight with Ivanka's husband. Ivanka is streets ahead trumps biggest confident.

Seeing firekushner hashtags on twitter from extreme nationalist lunatics on twitter just doubles down on how clueless they are.

Bannon says he likes to brawl. It's literally game over when it's far enough for trump to kick him out. He can't do anything about it. I don't know how any of those Bannon groupies think that he could actually prevail in this. Bannon was against the Syria attack and Trump got praised for it. It's only a matter of time.

Turnover will be insane in the next couple years. Hopefully POTUS included.

Remember that time I called Rand Paul a white nationalist? Well....

You can add Michael Savage to the condemning list. Turned on the trusty conservative radio station just in time to hear him go ham against Trump and saying he's basically Hillary Clinton at this point and the deep state finally got him.

Europe is ready to tear itself apart over the refugees they have taken. America is ready to tear itself apart over imaginary refugees. The "nothing" the West has done in response is ready to destroy us.

Kushner > Bannon but wouldn't a falling out with Bannon cost him some of the ~ 30% of supporters that back him no matter what? plus the dirt Bannon must have.

Had dinner with an old school buddy who went on to get his Phd in economics from Harvard. He is Jewish and when I asked him his opinion of Trump he expressed a fear that Trump is dangerous for Jews. But for a somewhat counter intuitive reason. He didn't disagree with me that Trump is not an anti Semite. Rather he saw that as the problem. Because Trump courted those anti Semites to get elected and now seems to be in the process of double crossing them. And at the behest of an Orthodox Jew no less!

When Trump was elected, the scum were merely feeling their oats and would do things like paint a swastika on my door. But my friend thinks that there is a good chance that their new attitude will be the more dangerous one of feeling used and betrayed and will result in greater hatred than before along with more nasty actions. Is he right?

Gonna go out on a limb here and say it's a good thing when Neo-Nazis don't feel empowered.

I'm confused, is the alt-right actually anti war? I thought for sure they'd be gung ho about nuking the middle east.

M. Knight Shyamalan twist: what if the old Trump Twitter feed was really a time-travelling Donald Trump vainly trying to send warnings to his future self?

DS disguising his new hypothesis by saying its from his "old school buddy" to deflect potential criticism from others.

I don't think that's necessarily true and it isn't as stupid as your Kushner using his secret Jew handshakes with BiBi to Make Israel Great Again theory.

The EU/EEC existed decades before Britain joined in the '70s, and can continue without us if it gets to grips with some of the bigger problems it has that have nothing to do with the effects of Brexit.

The National Front running in France is nothing new.

Wilders failed to win the Dutch election.

It's hard to see how this means Europe is preparing to tear itself apart yet, so let's not get carried away.

I mean, the 'America First' isolationists in the 40s wanted us to stay all the way out of WWII until Pearl Harbor happened. So they're anti-war, but for reasons people then and more so now regard as heartless, cruel, or even anti-semitic.

Yes, running on explicit white supremacy is bad. Yes, not delivering will upset white supremacists. Worth noting it's better than delivering. But it's a message that won so it will be used again, with more.

Trump hasn't failed them too much though. He put Bannon in charge. They love the Muslim ban and plenty of other stuff.

To understand what's going on, read "A Normie’s Guide to the Alt-Right". Linking to it is against forum rules so you'll have to google it. It's an article written by a white supremacist describing their world and how it came to be.
