Bigoted ex-Breitbart boss personally overruled DHS on green cards
Immigration is being controlled by a venal racist:
Steve Bannon, a senior adviser to President Donald Trump, personally overruled a decision by the Department of Homeland Security not to include green card holders in the president’s temporary ban on travel from Muslim countries. …
Documents obtained by CNN showed that DHS initially determined that “lawful permanent residents are not included and may continue to travel to the USA.”
But Bannon personally intervened to counter the guidance from DHS lawyers.
“The White House overruled that guidance overnight, according to officials familiar with the rollout,” the CNN report said. “That order came from the President’s inner circle, led by Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon. Their decision held that, on a case by case basis, DHS could allow green card holders to enter the US.”
The decision led Mother Jones columnist Kevin Drum to conclude that the chaos caused by Trump’s executive order had been part of the White House plan.
For those who bristle at Bannon being called a racist, consider this:
Bannon [has] spent a good amount of time helping to rebrand the so-called alt-right — that murk of internet trolls, anti-establishmentarians, and avowed white supremacists to whom Bannon’s Breitbart caters. By referring to this group as nationalists as opposed to white nationalists or white supremacists, Bannon has also been able to argue that US nationalism is similar to a series of counterparts in Europe. These parallels are used both to legitimize the movement, and to help muster international backing. “If you look at the identity movements over there in Europe, I think a lot of [them] are really ‘Polish identity’ or ‘German identity,’ not racial identity,” Bannon, who’d earlier made his name producing hagiographic films about Sarah Palin, said. “It’s more identity toward a nation-state or their people as a nation.”
And yes, it’s on the record – a court record, in fact – that Bannon is a racist.
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…"

This country is in serious trouble if someone like this Nazi is writing policy for the White House. How much damage will these people be allowed to inflict on us?

If your friends with ‘P’ …

“This country is in serious trouble . . .”
Correct.

it’s time to start forging an alliance with the communist to throw these lawless Nazi bastards off the planet….
just like the last time.

What exactly is Bannon’s area of expertise — other than promoting hatred and bigotry via the mass media?
Larry Schmitt January 29th, 2017 at 12:08
You just answered your own question.

He is a friend of ‘P’ ?

Via the excellent Dr. Gonzo: “Bannon, who’d earlier made his name producing hagiographic films (idolizing) Sarah Palin,”

In other words, fantasy.

From Palin porn to the White House. That would explain a great deal
maggiemoo January 29th, 2017 at 14:02
He really wanted to get Palin in the white house because she was so stupid. He waited a few years and then hit the jackpot with old geezer trump who has been putty in his hands.

that is a really terrifying idea mag – fkn scary

Do not underestimate this despicable snake. His “qualifications” far exceed those of Trump and Hitler combined.
“He graduated from Virginia Tech in 1976 and holds a master’s degree in National Security Studies from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. In 1985,[30] Bannon received a Master of Business Administration degree with honors from Harvard Business School.”

The late Rosa Parks made this country and the world a much better place by the simple act of refusing to change her seat on a city bus.
It is again the time for peaceful civil disobedience as personified in her humble, dignified example. If ECW (electoral college winner) Trump creates a Muslim registry, I will sign up for it. If I am accused of not being a real Muslim, I will ask to see their written criteria. After reading those criteria, I will be in court filing a lawsuit under the first amendment. No government agency has the authority to define a religion. It is a direct violation of the first amendment.

Every time I see a photo of Steve Bannon I think . . . Oh hell . . . Did Nick Nolte get arrested again?
Proof positive that you can’t dress up a pig.

I have the sneaking suspicion that Drunky McNazi is actually running the show and Cheeto-Hitler is just signing whatever is placed in front of him.

There are SO many things I could say here….
whatthe46 January 30th, 2017 at 01:42
seriously, i don’t think that *45 has the intellect or comprehension of a new born. i don’t think he can actually read anything more than 120 characters and he certainly doesn’t have the patience to read more let alone understand. you’re right, he will sign anything. that’s fucking scary!!!!
Suzanne McFly January 29th, 2017 at 16:05
Wow, and I almost believed all this was trumps idea. Just like he is now writing all his speeches. Color me shocked…………../s I believe this post is dripping with sarcasm but I am here to help out those who don’t understand a sarcastic statement when they see one. Generally those are the same people who think this orange pop tart is a genius and our last President wasn’t born in America because he was born in Hawaii.
amersham1046 January 29th, 2017 at 20:28
BUT BUT he won with the biggest landslide in history (wink wink nudge nudge)
Suzanne McFly January 29th, 2017 at 21:21
Yeah and there were billions at his inaugural. He will die claiming that. Sorry little human.

Trump’s system is about skin color and religion: build a wall to stop brown-skinned Mexicans from coming in and placing a ban on majority-Muslim countries where most would be Muslim and not so white-looking, either.
Trump wanting to give preference to Christians fleeing ISIS in Syria over Muslims fleeing ISIS in Syria is placing one religion above another, which the Founders were against. The Founders set up a stem that is neither/nor: neither having an official state religion. nor prohibit the free exercise thereof of religion.
Around the world there are many majority-white countries. if just 1/10 of 1% in those majority-white countries convert to Islam and just 1/10 of those never tell anyone they converted to Islam and a very small fraction of that last 1/10 self-radicalize, Trump’s system would probably ignore them coming in because they are white.

Nice description — I’ve been trying to put my finger on his look.
I was thinking he had a “DUI mugshot” look about him.
granpa.usthai January 29th, 2017 at 20:22
all hogwash BS.
to “override” a court ruling by the executive branch is to cede the powers of the courts to the white house, meaning the highest executive officer is in all actuality a despot tyrant -:
IT IS IMPEACHMENT TIME with NO PARDONS for ANY of the CRIMINAL CONSPIRATORS, including those in the LEGISLATIVE BRANCH who are part of the CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY.
it is not possible for a president who has been selected over 3,000,000 votes that no longer count to be a “law and order” president when his band of lawless thugs opts to disregard court rulings and place their own rulings over the courts.
the ENTIRE executive branch are now guilty of abolishing the Republic and flaunting their lawlessness in front of the entire world. They deserve neither respect, obedience or loyalty from any TRUE AMERICAN or TRUE HUMAN BEING.
trump’s 4th Reich WILL BE held fully accountable for each and every lawless act they have committed and will commit until they are turned into ashes -either by a lawful government or the spirit of the TRUE AMERICANS.
