Steve Bannon Quotes

I do not know much about Jeff Sessions but looking at his voting record and some quotes from him this is another scary choice to me.

Some of the quotes I am reading are awful from him but they are old so maybe he has changed and become better with race relations.
Although if the Republicans rejected him because of racism...
While serving as a United States prosecutor in Alabama, Mr. Sessions was nominated in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan for a federal judgeship. But his nomination was rejected by the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee because of racially charged comments and actions. At that time, he was one of two judicial nominees whose selections were halted by the panel in nearly 50 years.

He is strongly opposed to gay rights. He has been accused of saying very racially charged comments. He is opposed to women's rights. His stance on immigration and Islam is scary to me. He is strongly opposed to weed to a level that seems unreasonable.
Thomas H. Figures, said Mr. Sessions had referred to him as “boy” and testified that Mr. Sessions said the Ku Klux Klan was fine “until I found out they smoked pot.” Mr. Sessions dismissed that remark as a joke.

Sessions was "heartbroken" and found "it beyond comprehension" when President Obama claimed that cannabis is not as dangerous as alcohol.

I'm waiting for him to appoint someone named Jim Crow. It's gonna happen.

Are you gonna make a Rosie O'Donnell joke next?

Bannon takes no care for his appearance an looks like he just woke up from sleeping on a sewage vent. Fair game, like Trumps hair.

Here's another wonderful quote: "Good people don't smoke marijuana".

So much for the legalization movement. Dead in the water now....

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ney-general-good-people-dont-smoke-marijuana/

"He added that lawmakers and leaders in government needed to foster “knowledge that this drug is dangerous, you cannot play with it, it is not funny, it’s not something to laugh about . . . and to send that message with clarity that good people don’t smoke marijuana.”

Opponents of legalization say the Sessions nomination could be a game-changer in legalization debates around the country. Sessions “is by far the single most outspoken opponent of marijuana legalization in the U.S. Senate,” Kevin Sabet, of the anti-legalization group Smart Approaches to Marijuana, said in an email. “If I were betting on the prospects for marijuana legalization, I’d be shorting.”

Ya, the Trump fallout continues.... Seems like there has been a lot of bad news about what might happen during trumps tenure. Hopefully its all fake news.

Also read something about the VP elect attending a play (Hamilton iirc) and being booed by the crowd and then afterward the director of the play (i think it was the director) spoke, asking pence to try to do right by all americans including those of color and different sexualities. Pretty tame comment imo. Then trump comes out saying that the director of the play was harassing pence by making that comment and that that type of talk needs to stop. Then the play guy told trump that he wasn't harassing pence but instead just trying to have a conversation.

Apparently free speech is all good for trump to insult and ridicule anyone he wants but if someone asked his VP to treat everyone fairly then that type of talk needs to be labeled as harassment and needs to stop. lol

Here's the video from the Hamilton cast message to Pence. Trump demanding they apologize for this is ridiculous.

Trump is ridiculous so im not surprised. No one should be surprised by any of the stupid stuff that trump is going to say and do. Cant believe so many people voted for the dumbass.
 
I thought pence responded well to the Hamilton thing. The fact that Trump even got involved is ridiculous. The fact that he demands an apology for that is both terrifying given that he is the leader of the free world, and hilarious given his past actions.
 
Did anyone else think that Reince Priebus sounds like a character from Harry Potter?

What were his motives all those years ago? You do not know. Maybe he was trying to send a message to one of his kids. You telling me a parent should advertise marijuana to there kids? You claiming Trump is not more or less 100% right that [most] successful adults do not partake?

I am pro mj but I am not gonna ride your high horse that Trump is wrong. Taking drugs makes you less motivated an less productive.

All those years ago?? The quotes by Sessions were made to the Senate in April, 2016.....

In addition, Trump's position is different. He stated his belief that it be left to the states.

So, you not only have Sessions quotes taking place years ago, you have Trump's position on the subject completely wrong. You also seem to have Sessions confused with Trump. Geez, wake up already, lol...

To reiterate, in April, 2016, Sessions said: "good people don't smoke marijuana". In other words, if you smoke marijuana, you are a bad human being. That is the single most asinine position I have heard anyone make about that in a long, long time. And I resent it. I am a good human being, Mr. Sessions. A lot better of a human being then Sessions I'll wager, who, years ago, said he had no problem with the KKK until he heard they smoke pot. What a jackass and racist bigot Sen. Sessions is. I ain't on no high horse, but you might want to get the hey off yours, pal....

More twisted reason here, Red. Of course the SNL Church Lady is gonna say stuff like this, without meaning anything like your interpretation. "Good People" are those who follow the laws because they respect the laws, who will change the laws if need be for good reason.

I deplore your race-baiting tangent drawn outta yer *** from a completely race-neutral statement. You gotta get some better reading material than Politico or Mother Jones. Pretend "news" without factual basis is apparently something you've picked up, "logically speaking" from reading poltically motivated agenda millsites.

The facts are that as a state attorney general some years ago, Sessions did an impressive job running the KKK outta that state by seeing to it that a KKK leader got the death penalty carried out for his part in a racially-motivated slaying of a black man. It is factually the Democrat Party that has had the ties to the KKK, and despite the lying about the KKK people switching to the Republicans, they stayed in the Dem Party. Byrd in West Virgina was a KKK member. in Arkansas Fulbright was Bill Clintons "mentor" and a KKK member. Democratic southern politicians were the KKK base from day one.

I don't think smoking MJ helps with logic or caring about truth. When I studied marijuana use worldwide in 19+69, it seemed to me that countires like Morocco that had a culturally-dominant trend of heavy use were sorta unproductive. Too much time on the bong won't improve a basketball player's performance, either.

"Good people" follow the laws, and "good people" consider factors that might impair their critical thinking skills even temporarily, and feeling high on pot does sorta put a haze over the work of the day.

Human beings who use pot should not be harassed by Federal laws that are entirely outta the Federal jurisdiction, constitutionally speaking, per the Tenth Amendment. It's not something States should get involved with either. Human beings have innate or natural rights that should be respected, especially in regard to personal behaviors or opinions or entertainment. The reasons for or against the use use of anything, natural or man-made, should be personal choice and factual matters.

I run into some folks in California who are pretty bookish scholars on marijuana who've read everything ever published, but when they are "high" on it, they can't be depended on to get stuff done for a while.

A human being's intrinsic worth does not measure on the good/bad axis, it's more like a universal constant somewhere on an infinite scale way beyond our little ideas, but we can legitimately make jokes about racists who lack the sense to avoid a commonly despised dope practice. Racism is about despising human beings. Sessions used the dope joke to make a point about how some might despise them.... well.... of course treating human beings despicably would be cause enough, but there's lots of southern Baptists who would despise the KKK more if they were dopeheads.

Red, you're really taking things way too seriously, with too little thinking in it, just ripping stuff off leftwing agenda sources and posting it in here.

You couldn't think your way out of a paper bag if you tried. But you love to post your mumbo jumbo. On the other hand, you are a more likable neo-Nazi then most. Steve Bannon's good buddy, and I'm sure a good friend of your's as well, held his meeting in Washington this week. I'm very surprised your're not in attendance. Spencer is such a lovable sort; just your kind of guy:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/richard-spencer-speech-npi/508379/

Let's see. The leading alt-right spokesman in the nation is now Trump's number one advisor. A leading racist bigot, who couldn't get approved for a federal judgeship by a Republican Senate is set to be AG. The number one denier of climate change in the world is now the head of the EPA. And you're worried I might be leaning too far left. Seig Heil, babe!

They weren't my comments to begin with. What you forgot to do is read the article at the link. Which was not a requirement, but you might have made a more intelligent(just joking) reply had you done so.
 
Meet Richard Spencer, the man Trump's right hand man Steve Bannon calls a "leading intellectual":

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/alt-right-hate-richard-spencer_us_5833242fe4b058ce7aac26fe

My goodness, here I am posting something from the leftist Huffington Post. I'll try to balance this off by finding articles praising the neo Nazi boys as just what America needs. They do seem a fun loving bunch, these alt-right boys. Maybe I'm brainwashed and can't understand their movement is just what the doctor ordered to unify our nation and put it back on the path to greatness. I need to give babe's advice some serious thought and consider embracing, rather then letting myself be repulsed by all the hate speech. Who was it who just suggested Japanese internment camps had set a precedent we should consider? Maybe I should think about backing the winning side in all this. Maybe I'm on the wrong side of history after all....
