THE EVIL DERANGEMENT OF STEVE BANNON

Josh Green at Bloomberg describes Batshit Bannon’s resurrection of criminal degenerate Roy Moore’s candidacy. But is anyone in politics today more of a criminal degenerate than Bannon himself?

Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo writes, “Again, we see that Bannon is the preeminent, most successful strategist and foot soldier of all the poison that is assembled under the banner of Trumpism.”

The minute you hear hackneyed, demagogic phrases like “our movement” come out of Trump’s mouth, you know that he’s still in thrall to Bannon.

Before the alternate reality of right-wing mayhem maestros like Bannon completely swamp American’s understanding of reality, the Democrats must finally finally craft a media response.

JEANINE PIRRO HAS A BOUNDARY PROBLEM

I don’t know what to call this creature; like all of Fox “News,” she’s got nothing to do with actual journalism.  How about calling her a pro-Fascist talking head and provocateur?

One of the most startling things contained in the NYT’s new exposé of the bizarro fantasy world in which Trump lives is the astonishing fact that Pirro actually went to the White House to stir up Trump with defamatory rubbish about Mueller and Comey.

Even after all we know, this piece by Maggie Haberman, Glenn Thrush, and Peter Baker is disturbing.

TRUMP WAS NEVER SERIOUS ABOUT PROTECTING SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, OR MEDICAID

Chris Hayes two nights ago  showed a clip of Trump on the campaign trail claiming to support Medicare while insisting that it was riddled with “fraud, abuse and waste.”

Which it is not.

Thus setting up a bogus rationale for the  cuts, cuts, cuts that Fraudster Paul Ryan has the audacity to claim are needed.
