"What we’re saying is let’s have an academy that brings the best thinkers together and can actually train what we call ‘modern gladiators.’

Haven’t the Koch bros already done that?

Where I live I think a trailer park would be more welcome. Stupid grandiose slob. No sane government would welcome whatever the hell this is.

I spend a lot of time in Rome, and it always shocks me to find there’s just as many wingnuts there as here.

They should find a gas station and give Bannon the fascist treatment…

Fuck you Bannon! Get the fuck out of Italy. Go to Hungary or Poland and just stay there.

At some point real soon there needs to be a blunt and severe price to be paid by dangerous hate filled insurrectionists like Bannon… stop granting him & his ilk such a wide berth … what these a-holes are stirring up is powerfully destructive - it is not a bunch of harmless abstract thought exercises … Bannon and similars are deranged socetial arsonists.

Ummmm… i am in Italy regularly on business and/or pleasure and I have just one word on this: Berlusconi.

ETA: I was always pleased to be seated next to an Italian who had more to apologize for than I, even under Dubya. :laughing:

Now it’s reversed, although Berlusconi is apparently staging a comeback.

‘Team Bannon’…what makes them think they have anything to appeal WITH??? Why doesn’t Bannon and his RW ‘modern gladiators’ take over some country like Somalia?

Who is bankrolling this shitshow now that the Mercer’s booted him from their stable? (Rhetorical question as we know the answer involves rubles.)

Early reviews of Wolff’s new book say that Bannon acts almost as a narrator/guide through it, Yes I’ve been reading the reviews because I don’t want to buy the book, but I do want to get the salacious hints before the inevitable trump tirades about it show up. One reveal is about Bannon - and that he apparently thinks that HE should take the mantle from Trump. In his own way he is just as frickin delusional and certifiably nuts as Trump.

Their present government is no prize. They fucked up last election.

Rome is dirtier than it’s been in years.

about the reinforcement of the traditional Judeo-Christian West… an academy that brings the best thinkers together and can actually train what we call ‘modern gladiators.’”

This is what you get when you’ve seen “Spartacus,” read Samuel Huntington and Tom Clancy, and are lazy enough to decide you are therefore “one of the best thinkers” of your time.

Steve Bannon is a Cliven Bundy wannabee!
