There's a couple of articles floating around saying that Bannon would need to be approved by the Senate in order to be on the National Security Council. But that's only true depending on his role. It's entirely plausible he could be a full time "attendee", not need Senate approval, and still have more influence over Trump than the other, vetted members.

ahhhh.....ok, is see what you mean.
 
This is almost hilarious.
When it was reported that DJT wasn't going to rescind an Obama Admin exec order preventing LGBT discrimination by government contractors, I thought, "no brainer, who in their right mind would come out and criticize that and actually advocate discrimination?"

Well, leave it to someone to prove my assumption wrong:

On the other end of the spectrum, conservative Rep. Steve Russell (R-Okla.) expressed disappointment with Trump’s announcement.

“I cannot understand why the president would prevent people of faith to continue to contract with the military,” Russell said.

Russell had authored a provision in the House-passed version of last year’s annual defense policy bill that would have provided exemptions for religious organizations. It was removed from the final defense authorization following pressure from Democrats.

Reaction to Trump's decision to keep the Obama-era order in place was decidedly muted, with most lawmakers focused on the more controversial executive order to restrict immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries. Most House Republican offices didn't respond to requests for comment from The Hill about the LGBT order.

Show your hate by committing a mortal sin and burning in hell forever!

Fucking cockwombler.
 
I hate saying this, but i think i'm coming close to accepting the notion that the American public is no longer worthy of the responsibility of electing their representatives. I'm also listening to the latest episode of Hard Core History, which is all about the atomic age and, in part, the power of presidents.

It's going around the blogosphere but I have not yet seen anyone with legal expertise in this area comment on if it applies to how Bannon's appointment has been executed in the executive order.

Right. I'd like to find the executive order, but haven't gotten to it yet.

Yeah, because the integrity of our elections and elected officials is a-ok, so voters and stuff.
 
Hail Satan! Thank thee for thy servant Donald J. and his unnatural hairpiece. And praise to the fruit of thy loins Bannon. Plunge us evermore into unending darkness and porta potty smells. And may the Patriots win all the rest of the Super Bowls forever.
 
A message from Bandcamp:

Greetings!

This Friday, for any purchase made on Bandcamp, we will donate 100% of our share of the proceeds to the American Civil Liberties Union, who are working to oppose last week’s Executive Order barring immigrants and refugees from seven Middle Eastern countries from entering the United States. Please read more about our position here, and help us spread the word.

There was a recent thread here about folks with Bandcamp pages; I know Bird Index is there and Axon Neuron (Poparad's group) just released a remastered version of their first album there. I also have music there. So, keep this in mind if you want music.

If anyone buys a copy of my studio full length Sherwood Court between now and Valentines Day, I'll donate the money to a relevant Trump-busting charity or use it to mail a box of poo to Trump. Whichever makes more sense.

Name your own price, so go nuts.
