Do you realize that no one on this forum has EVER asked me my opinion on Trump? Just because I think the "Russian cullusion " thing is a gigantic lefty fueled sideshow...as one CNN host called it - a nothing-burger...the assumption was that I "liked Trump". That highlight the lousy reporting based on anonymous sourcing, I "liked Trump". It's fascinating.
I think there lots of "assumptions" folks are willing to make because they think they're tight and want to be right, but it simply closes them off to other possibilities . For example, I'm now a racist because I suggested that folks with rather unpopular opinions have freedom of speech.

The have freedom of speech, but this doesn't shield them from reaction or consequenses of the content. Particularly as provocation.

You don't like Trump?
What I notice is you've never met an anti-Trump argument that you like, and you will make or repeat the most vacuous counter-arguments.
You are anti-anti-Trump, for some reason. Maybe it's because you like Trump, or maybe it's for some other reason.

Bullshit. I asked and asked for a couple of weeks and you kept evading the question until I pinned you down and you admitted voting for and supporting Trump. Just like your Dear Leader, you now want to play the victim while you continue with your vacuous support, whataboutism, false equivalencies,etc. Spare me your righteous indignation for being properly labeled a Trump apologist.

I'm not sure what you're asking in your 2nd Q.

Your Bannon example almost provides the first half of my request and a link to your post is needed to meet the equally important second half.

I did get the twist, but it made me squirm a bit. Dunno how he took it.

He i every bit as comfortable with a lie as Trump. That was one of the more blatant ones.

Is whell finally waking up to the fact that his Dear Leader is an unrepentant racist, and pathetically trying to distance himself after undying support in all those posts?
