    Can someone tell me the upside of Steve Bannon?

    Like, I can halfway sorta understand some people liking Trump for his meme status, but Bannon fucking terrifies the living shit out of me and all signs are pointing to him essentially being "Dick Cheney but actually a fucking Nazi this time" and has the charisma of Ted Cruz.

    IDK this shit is making me really nervous to the point of questioning whether it might be better to flee the country now cause I kinda would like to avoid dying in an ethnic cleansing.
    This entire thing terrifies me.

    I was holding out some hope that it wouldn't be as bad as we feared but all these latest actions are very worrying. There's so many red flags, it isn't funny.
    Maybe I should be planning a trip to Japan so I can at least have a passport when things go to hell. Not that it'd help me.
    I just hope we can fight off a dark future.

    You wish! Soccer has been meh for me. I am not one of those nuts who's head over heels for "La Liga" and "El Clasico"...

    Those aren't contradictory statements. Your 'actually' only demonstrates a total fallacy. Until we cause the global nuclear apocalypse, things could always be far worse. That doesn't mean that every situation is acceptable except the single outcome of Armageddon.
    Not that I am saying something against who will stop it if it is stopped, but rather the outrage that might be caused if it's stopped completely (I can foresee a lot of stalling, but not voiding a referendum. That sets dangerous precedents to void other things).

    It also demonstrates that an argument could run left or right. You might as well say it will not be at it's absolute worse unless we reach nuclear war. I might say we will not be able to achieve something like an utopia, which would be the idea, but it does show that people love to blow things out of proportion when things don't go their way and that this happens often.

    I know I will be saying 'Fuck you Mericans' when the world goes under flames thanks to Trump and his happy tree friends.

    Maybe a year or two before Fascist America is introduced to the world.

    Can you tell me what exactly there bothers you? Because I looked at it and it was just the usual "Republican tells media to stop being biased" thing that every Republican does any time you ask them about the media.
    He never sleeps. He never dies.

    I think it's a bit more extreme then that. He's not just saying they're biased but telling them to shut up altogether, and essentially declaring he considers the free press as an enemy to be thwarted. Not exactly reassuring words coming from one of the president's uppermost advisors...

    The presidency is always at war with the press. No exceptions, even if the press is compliant.

    Maybe if the news is always contradicting what you believe it's your beliefs that are wrong and not a giant media conspiracy..... food for thought......

    It makes sense as long as you embrace the intelligent, simple, and logical premise that the dozens of different major international news organizations throughout the world are engaged in a Byzantine and nefarious plot to control public perception with the veiled dessimation of altered information designed to deceive you of your very soul.

    except those cursed do-gooders at FOX of course. Those damn kids are always spoiling the media and hollywoods evil plans.

    Of course media is self-serving. Those in Hong Kong like to paint a bad picture of China and only report news which reflects badly on them while China does the same. USA likes to shit on the rest of the world and themselves through media while Japanese like to shit on Koreans and pretend innocent of war crimes.

    Uhhhhh, what does this have to do with anything and how is it connected to what we're talking about?

    Like, aside from "the media" being the subject, this is kinda detached from the conversation in general.
