"“It was not my intention to doubt that, the Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am. The idea that I meant to convey, was, that I did not believe that the Lodges of Free Masons in this Country had, as Societies, endeavoured to propagate the diabolical tenets of the first, or pernicious principles of the latter (if they are susceptible of seperation). That Individuals of them may… actually had a seperation [sic] of the People from their Government in view, is too evident to be questioned.” – George Washington"

Fixed that for ya... Clint Trumpton was always a forgone conclusion. That none of us knew for sure who was gonna be the talking head for the next 4 years doesn't change that. Yehaw!

It's noted that both the KKK and the American Nazi Party have both congratulated Trump on appointing Bannon. The guy was suspect anyway but that should confirm it to any doubters.

By aligning (or not) one's values with theirs.

Im sure plenty of others congratulated him too, but these ones fit in the barrow that is currently being pushed.

It's not unfair, it's a failed liberal denialist argument that didn't work before the election and it's not going to magically start working after.

All you need to do is Google image "Hillary Clinton kkk"

You must be getting forgetful, one of my values (to which I have repeatedly expounded upon) is to treat everyone as equals, something yourself, donald, and the KKK seem to disagree with...

There is a lot of that going on here.

Misguided self praise is poor recommendation but it is your right to be stupid - carry on do your thing!

Fairy nuff. I didn't express myself very clearly. Bannon is described as 'alt right' when people are being polite - or timid. Those less so inclined would describe him as a white nationalist or even a white supremacist. He also reportedly has credentials as a misogynist. Eyebrows were raised when he was appointed to such a high ranking job on Trumps team, and not just because he would seem to have little relevant experience. The kkk congrats were in respect of Bannon being on the team.

Trump promised to drain the swamp. I sympathise with that ambition, get rid of the long term hangers-on who have been doing stuff all except enhance their personal fortune. Sadly though he has no experience or knowledge of the machinery in DC, so he needs to surround himself with the same people he promised to get rid of.

Be interesting to see how his voters feel when his election promises are rolled back or dropped. I see he has already reduced parts of his "beautiful wall" to a fence.
