Pelosi SLAMS ‘white supremacist’ Bannon
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed Stephen Bannon on Thursday, saying President Trump’s senior adviser is a racist who has no business sitting on the National Security Council (NSC).
“It’s a stunning thing that a white supremacist, Bannon, would be a permanent member of the National Security Council,” Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol.
Bannon, a former executive with Breitbart News, is a senior adviser to the president.
Trump reorganized the NSC last week to regularly include Bannon, a former executive for Breitbart News, at meetings of the group’s principals committee. At the same time, he removed the director of national intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from the panel. Those figures have instead been asked to participate only during meetings on “issues pertaining to their responsibilities and expertise.”
“What’s making America less safe is to have a white supremacist named to the National Security Council as a permanent member while the chairman of the joint chiefs and the director of national intelligence are told, ‘Don’t call us, we’ll call you. You’re no longer permanent members,’” Pelosi said.

Nice to see her out and about, I just assumed she was hibernating for a few years.

Yeah, Putin doesn’t like all those service chiefs and intelligence guys getting too close to the Resident-in-Chief. They might give him ideas. Better Trump should just pick up the red phone to Moscow to find out what to do next.

Even Moreso than his white nationalist proclivities is his apocalyptic religious wacko extremist vision of the world,and his desire to see all systems come crashing down.This devious evil genius should be nowhere near the White House.As a chess player he moves trumps hands slowly and with an agenda in mind,one that’s not an agenda that includes liberty and justice for all.

Reminds me of a Vietnam-era quote:
“It became necessary to destroy the town to save it.”
Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

I see rump writing exec orders as if they were football autograph cards – how much leaway does a (faux)pres have and who will approve any costs that are incurred by a megalomaniac running wild in that funny suit and long tie and odd fuzz on top?
