Steve Bannon Claims White Nationalist ‘Revolt’ Will Help Trump Win ‘400 Electoral Votes’ In 2020
In the remarks, which Bannon delivered at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, he said:

The populist, nationalist, conservative revolt that’s going on, that drove Donald Trump to victory, that drove Judge Moore to victory, that will drive 15 candidates to victory in 2018, and I hate to break the news to Graydon Carter and the good folks at Vanity Fair, but yes, President Trump is not only going to finish this term, he’s going to win with 400 electoral votes in 2020.

Bannon is correct that there is a white nationalist revolt going on across America as the U.S. becomes increasingly diverse. It’s certainly a big reason why Trump was able to eke an Electoral College victory last November, despite losing the popular vote by 3 million to Hillary Clinton.

We saw this “revolt” play out most recently in Charlottesville, Virginia when a crowd of alt-right Nazis – a group with which Bannon would fit quite nicely – held rallies that led to the death of an anti-racism protester.

Bannon is wrong, however, to believe that these deplorable human beings – yes, deplorable – make up a majority of the country. They didn’t constitute a majority in the 2016 election when most voters chose Clinton as their president, and they certainly won’t in 2020, after Trump has shown himself to be a dangerous, incompetent and mentally unstable commander-in-chief.

Catering to vile, white supremacist hate groups may have been a (barely) winning strategy in 2016, but as more Americans wake up to the damage this president does each day, it isn’t likely to work again in the next presidential election.

Trump was nice enough to give up his extravagant billionaire lifestyle to become a public servant and help Americans of all race, color and creed... and this is how the public repays him. Slandering his name, throwing around false accusations, offering money to have him impeached... sad!

In Speech, Sen. McCain Decries 'Half-Baked, Spurious Nationalism'
In what appeared to be a thinly veiled reference to politics in the Age of Trump, Sen. John McCain on Monday warned Americans against "half-baked, spurious nationalism," calling the abandonment of U.S. global leadership "unpatriotic."

Speaking in Philadelphia, where he was being honored with the Liberty Medal by the National Constitution Center, McCain did not mention the president by name, but his words appeared aimed at Trump and his administration.

"To abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems," he said, "is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history."

In an apparent reference to white supremacists who sparked violence in Charlottesville, Va., in August, the former prisoner of war said: "We live in a land of ideals, not blood and soil."

The Nazi slogan "blood and soil" was shouted by tiki-torch-wielding white supremacists in Charlottesville.


"We are the custodians of those ideals at home, and their champion abroad," he said. "We have done great good in the world. That leadership has had its costs, but we have become incomparably powerful and wealthy as we did."

"We have a moral obligation to continue in our just cause, and we would bring more than shame on ourselves if we don't," McCain continued. "We will not thrive in a world where our leadership and ideals are absent. We wouldn't deserve to."

The chairman of the Center's Board of Trustees, former Vice President Joe Biden, presented the medal to McCain.

Speaking of Biden, the Delaware Democrat who once served alongside McCain in the Senate, the six-term Arizona Republican said: "We often argued — sometimes passionately. But we believed in each other's patriotism and the sincerity of each other's convictions. We believed in the institution we were privileged to serve in."

Biden alluded to McCain's torture during more than five years spent as a POW after his U.S. Navy A-4 was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967.

"John, you have broken many times, physically and otherwise, and you have always grown stronger, but what you don't really understand in my humble opinion is how much courage you give the rest of us looking at you," Biden said.

McCain was diagnosed with brain cancer in July.

Russia probe: Senate asks Mike Flynn's son for documents, testimony
The Senate Intelligence Committee has requested documents and testimony from Michael G. Flynn, the son of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, but has not received a response, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The committee, which is investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, is interested in Flynn’s work as his father’s aide and travel companion with Flynn Intel Group, the consulting firm retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn formed after he left government service, the sources said.

Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, the intelligence committee chairman, and Sen. Mark Warner, of Virginia the ranking Democrat, declined to comment when asked about the matter Monday by NBC News.

Michael G. Flynn’s lawyer, Barry Coburn, declined to comment.

The younger Flynn, 34, accompanied his father on a 2015 trip to Moscow, where the elder Flynn sat next to Vladimir Putin at a dinner to celebrate Russia’s state-funded media network, RT. The younger Flynn can be seen in video from an associated event.

Ultimately, the committee could issue a subpoena to Flynn if he doesn’t comply, but he could assert his right against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

NBC News reported last month that the younger Flynn is a subject of the criminal and counterintelligence investigation being conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is also interested in Flynn’s work with his father’s consulting business.

Flynn responded on Twitter to the NBC News report, tweeting on Sept. 14: “I’m not the sub of any federal investigation.”

The elder Flynn was fired as Trump's national security adviser in February after it became public that he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in Washington.

A former business associate of Michael Flynn's said the younger Flynn played an important role in the day-to-day operations of Flynn Intel Group and served as his father's chief of staff.

Those responsibilities included attending meetings with his father and communicating with prospective clients, the former business associate said

This nutcase can’t even pretend to be a human being long enough to get through a phone call to a military widow. And what’s his reaction, no problem I’ll just go on Twitter and call it “fake news”. “I have proof!” what a lying piece of shit. I can’t believe his supporters aren’t offended by how stupid he thinks they are.

You're trusting one person's word over another. Neither have proof, unless Trump recorded the conversation.

Fallen soldier’s mother: ‘Trump did disrespect my son’

President Trump in a tweet Wednesday denied that he had told the widow of a soldier killed in an ambush in Africa this month that her husband “must have known what he signed up for.”

I can understand how the wife would find that insensitive, but it's a partial quote from a conversation of condolence.

"He knew how dangerous the job was going to be, but he signed up anyway, because he's a hero."

Who knows what Trump said but interesting body language by Trump. As soon as he was started to interact with the press, his body language got very defensive. Strange way to cross his arms too? Looked awkward.
