He praised Bannon as a “brilliant strategist” and “dedicated patriot,”
Yeah, we are going to be hearing this a lot
King said that voters looked at Trump’s remarks “far more pragmatically,” and recommended people do the same for Bannon.
Normalize, normalize
King expressed interest in serving as the President-elect’s head of the Department of Homeland Security
Ok, here we go. I am getting a feeling that I am getting a real taste of what the intellectuals and minorities in Germany must have felt as they read the daily news around Hitler’s growing power
He went on to praise “American values”
Translation – all white Christian values
King went off on a rambling tangent….
Fuck me with a burning cross

First black president has overturned all the rocks and let the creepies crawl out.

Too many video games for these nuts.

“bizarre defense”

I dunno that I’d call it “bizarre.” This was standard “Aryan Nation” type shit. He went right for the “blond” reference like a programmed robot.

Remember, Hitler was ELECTED with only 33% of the vote.
Then APPOINTED to the Chancellorship.
Then after the Reichstag fire, declared “Martial Law” and was GIVEN dictatorial powers.
He secured the Judiciary by getting the “Nuremberg Laws” passed in 1935, and it was all over then.
Sensing a pattern here?

But the sad fact is the Republican hegemony no longer actually requires Trump, so if he goes over the edge that will be fine with them - they have Pence warming up in the bullpen

“Just a few minutes ago I heard Steve Bannon on tape say ‘liberal dykes,’” Ruhle said… “You okay with that?”

“…I don’t know what the context of it would be in,” King replied.

“Yes. In the context of hateful, racist, anti-Semitic, misogynistic and homophobic terms Bannon bandies about regularly, I am sure he either mis-spoke or was misquoted. But I speak only from an idiot’s context.” King added.

" I asked why, when they were digging up the statues that had their hair painted blond, why I don’t see very many blond Greeks?"

OF COURSE. OF F&@KING COURSE this is the kind of thing this guy would be thinking about on his trip to Greece.

But Trump has been a blonde in his later years. When I was a kid, we had a dubbed into Spanish Clairol ad on TV that ended with “Only her hair stylist really knows.” Anyway, Steve Idiot King has just revealed that his trailer park theory on cultural homogeneity somehow involves the number of blonde people and preserving their number. And we all thought Reagan was a philistine.

Blond statues? Excavated statues from ancient Greece would at best have trace elements of color undetectable to the naked eye. Inside the right-wing information bubble, the Steve Kings of the world apparently believe Greeks were blond-haired, blue-eyed Aryan people–prior to their mongelization, that is…

These wankers live in a bubble where they never hear anything that wasn’t processed by the GOP, approved, and then passed onto them.

Ignorance as per plan. “Can’t blame me I’ve never heard of this ‘gravity’ thing of which you speak.”
