Is this a normal staff position? Never heard of it in gov before.

We all knew he was a main advisor. It's probably a good thing to bring him in out of the shadows as much as possible.

Trump handed over the keys to his Twitter Account the week before the election or maybe 2 weeks before. As I understand he hasn't fully taken them back. SOmeone on his campaign staff has been using it.

And much better than he ever did.

I don't know... Bannon agrees with many leftist positions. Bannon is a populist nationalist, which isn't that far from Bernie. The current scare tactic going around is that Bannon is a white nationalist. That's not true at all. He's a nationalist who doesn't care about skin color. Nationalism is dangerous in and of itself. It doesn't need the dishonest qualifier. This is why Hillary lost by the way. The left always takes it one step too far.

Bannon's ex-wife swore in court in 2007 that he “didn’t want the girls going to school with Jews...He said he doesn’t like Jews..."

WSJ reports that Trump and his team didn't
realize what a big job the United States
presidency was, so Obama will give him "guidance."

Imagine if Obama had chosen Rahm as CoS and Farrakhan as chief strategist. Would the stories be about finding common ground?

That strawman is absurd. And that's actually my whole argument. You don't need a strawman to argue the Trump staff.

Why are leftists' suddenly trying to care about jewish people? That's my thought.

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Speaking to reporters late Friday night, President-elect Donald Trump revealed that he had Googled Obamacare for the first time earlier in the day.

“I Googled it, and, I must say, I was surprised,” he said. “There was a lot in it that really made sense, to be honest.”

He said that he regretted that the frenetic pace of the presidential campaign had prevented him from Googling Obamacare earlier. “You’re always running, running, running,” he said. “There were so many times that I made a mental note to Google Obamacare but I just never got around to it.”

Trump also told the reporters that, now that the campaign was over, he had finally found the time to Google Mexico.

“Really eye-opening,” he said. “A lot of the Mexicans are terrific. They do just terrific things.”


When asked if Googling Mexico had affected his position on building a wall, Trump said, “Quite frankly, it did make me wonder a bit about that. A lot of these terrific Mexicans could come in and make a real contribution to our country and, in exchange, I think they’d really benefit from Obamacare.”

The President-elect also said that he had put Mike Pence in charge of the transition team “to give me more time for my conversion to Islam.”

What?

Why are leftists' suddenly trying to care about jewish people? That's my thought.

Well, seeing Jews make up a significant portion of the Left, it only makes sense. I think you need to differentiate between Jewish people and the state of Israel.

This is from a Pew Research study published in 2013: Jews are among the most strongly liberal, Democratic groups in U.S. politics. There are more than twice as many self-identified Jewish liberals as conservatives, while among the general public, this balance is nearly reversed. In addition, about seven-in-ten Jews identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party. Jews are more supportive of President Barack Obama than are most other religious groups.

One would think that Obama would spend as little time as possible with a man who repeatedly suggested that he’s the Kenyan-born founder of ISIS, but what was scheduled to be a 15-minute meeting wound up lasting 90 minutes. “As I said last night, my number one priority in the next two months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures our president-elect is successful,” Obama said

"I found him to be terrific. I found him to be — very smart and very nice. Great sense of humor, as much as you can have a sense of humor talking about tough subjects, but we were talking about some pretty tough subjects.
