If Steve Bannon has a long-term plan for what he wants to do - which he surely does - then hobbling the press gets them out of the way down the road when his real dismemberment of US govt comes in to play.
Also, it plays really well with the base and Trump loves shitting on the 1st Amendment.

This is all upside for the…

The only “fake news” is the notion that Trump is a competent manager or businessman. Politico ran an article today that basically calls him out for being a charlatan who pretends to be a great manager, but who is incapable of actually managing an apparatus like the federal government. http://www.politico.com/magazine…

This country is so fucked. These morons are cheering their own destruction.

Stay tuned for today’s episode of: “Can you imagine what the reaction would have been if Michelle Obama had done something like that?”

I’m starting to think men shouldn’t be allowed out of the house.

I didn’t realize all of these tacky stores were owned by the same parent company. No fucking wonder their jewelry is universally ugly.

Every kiss begins with Kay, or you’re fired!

We investigated these 1500 allegations, and they’re all false. Nothing happened here at Cosby Jewelers!

I’m sure the White House investigation into the raid that Trump didn’t study intel about, ordered so he could make a big impact, then fucked up royally will be totally unbiased and done thoroughly.

Donald did you look at ANY of the other responses? Like how over half disapprove of what you are doing as president? That virtually NO ONE approves of congress right now?

Never forget.

According to the AP, the report concludes Lynn “acted inappropriately toward at least six female employees” and says he “acknowledged touching the employees but said that was in his nature and that he had not meant to make anyone uncomfortable.”

The likelihood you have that sort of mutual-hugging relationship with all the women in your office (and none of the men) is practically zero, and at best you have zero social awareness, and at worst (and most likely) you’re a sex pest who makes everyone shiver.

“I’m automatically attracted to beautiful women — I just start kissing them, it’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy.”

The guy has never done a day’s work in his life, either. He just surrounds himself with yes men who are willing to take the blame when trump fucks something up. He’s a boss, not a leader.

Dems already won the battle on healthcare. It’s not going away, and Republicans won’t be able to come up with anything “better”. My worry is they’ll make a few minor changes and then call it their own.

Literally nothing he has said since being elected hasn’t confirmed what we knew the whole time, that Donald Trump is a neophyte who has never actually done any hard thinking in his life, and whose only previous hard job was deciding which model he was going to hit on once he named them a winner.

Now we know what to call him. Thanks, Sean.

Bad caretakers seem the more likely cause of death than just bed bugs.
