What a dumb-assed sentiment.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Good analogy. The qualities of the raised GOP will be those of a rotted, corrupted, zombified GOP, on a mission to seek and destroy brains.

BTW, apologies for last nights F-bomb. But at the time, it felt like your usual way of interacting was rubbing salt in the deep wounds.

No apology needed and I hope your feeling better this morning.

FWIW my going to bed take is what I would have done if I was feeling very down and dark.

For the same reason some people put up with abuse.

Perhaps this is why Kelly Ann Conway is calling the shots for Trump.

For a "populist" PG sure seems to be picking a bagger cabinet....oh wait baggers vote against their own self interests. Looks like he wants to assault patients. All those forgotten men and women who rely on medicare to help pay for the care of elderly patients will be eagerly waiting for those vouchers to arrive in the mailbox

'Stephen Bannon found inspiration in ancient thinkers, Ronald Reagan and Nazi propaganda' LA Times

"In the 1990s, long before Stephen K. Bannon became the chairman of Breitbart News and one of Donald Trump’s top advisors, he was just another guy in Beverly Hills who liked Shakespeare and wanted to make movies.
The Navy veteran and former Goldman Sachs investment banker was a feverish reader who kept books neatly stacked on the floor of his condo that couldn’t fit on his shelves. Bannon had the tastes of a liberal-arts major, sampling ideas from ancient civilizations all over the world. He liked Sun Tzu’s “Art of War” and the Bhagavad Gita, the Hindu holy book, according to his former longtime writing partner, Julia Jones.

“Before 9/11, he was different,” said Jones, a liberal who fondly remembered discussing philosophy with Bannon. “He talked about Plato and Socrates all the time.” At one point the pair developed a proposal for a TV show to feature philosophers from a wide range of traditions, including non-European mystics and shamans.
But Bannon, who kept a photo of Ronald Reagan over his desk, started down a more hard-line path of conservative thought after the 2001 terrorist attacks, according to those who knew him during his time in Hollywood....

In the past, Bannon has repeatedly expressed his affinity for the technique of Nazi propaganda filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, whose work in the 1930s glamorized the rise of Adolf Hitler. “One time we were in the office, and he said, ‘I want to be the Leni Riefenstahl of George Bush,’ and I was horrified,’” Jones said. (Jones said Bannon later amended his remark to say he wanted to be the Riefenstahl of the GOP" LA Times

Dude's a devious prick who likes to hide behind the curtain. I'm ashamed to admit he was the student body President at Virginia Tech my senior year. Maybe Michael Vick should sic the dogs on him.
