Stephen Bannon fooled Trump into signing executive order that gave him national security role

I read through the Trump executive orders. They are all very short and easy to follow.

That is true, but at least they have the excuse that most bills passed by congress are incredibly long and complex. Trump’s executive orders all appear to be 1-2 pages at most.

The one about gathering first-born daughters as sacrifices to the Elder Gods on the Day the Stars Come Right is a model of simplicity.

Letters to the editor. Calls to your members of congress. Tweets to Trump telling him Bannon is calling him “short fingers” behind his back. Do it!

Don’t confuse my statement with making excuses for Trump. I am merely highlighting inept a lot of people in charge are.

I must have missed that one. By the way, you can find them all here https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/executive-orders

Just like how Alex Jones, who freaked out about Bohemian Grove and “the International Elites” is perfectly fine with a guy like Trump. He’s “not like them”, I’m sure.

It reads as both ;(

Brainspore was pointing out not that politicians are perfect, but that there is a very tangible difference between missing riders or hidden pages in a hundred versus a core component of a single page plain-language document that covers national security.

Don’t they also believe that alien lizard people also control the world?

I wonder, considering Trump obviously hasn’t released government files on alien lizard people (or even the “truth” about Roswell by executive order), would that mean to those people they’re no longer viable theories, or that Trump’s one of them?

See, I have doubts that he has even given much attention to his various business contracts over the years. First off, his businesses are bloated trainwrecks that have a habit of failing, so that in itself suggests a less-than-thorough approach. Secondly, Trump’s own philosophy is to hire the best people to do the job. To me that suggests that he has never, at any time, had much of a hand in his own success in life (such as it is). He is just a rich man’s son, without talent or skill, who has simply hired good accountants, attorneys, and managers to make things happen for him. All he has ever really done, I think, is say “I want something done here” and handed over some money. That’s not the same as having business acumen.

Doesn’t the former contradict the latter?

Best for what purpose? They’re not good at their jobs.

Apart from his campaign manager(s) I can’t think of many people he’s hired who are actually very good at the job he hired them to do.

When my grandmother entered the early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease, she began to lose her vocabulary first. My grandmother, with a Bachelor’s in English, a Master’s in Psychology, began to speak in simple sentences with what seemed a junior high level or lower. It started very innocently, with “it’s right on the tip of my tongue” and “It went right out of my head” excuses when her conversations stuttered and stopped. I understand there are all kinds of indicators, but perhaps he is really losing his vocabulary due to age-related dementia, or like my Nana, Alzheimer’s.

Perhaps I should have put “best people” in quotations.

My point is essentially that, HE has not kept himself out of jail all these years for tax evasion, his attorneys that he hired have done so. Whatever profit has come from his businesses have been the work of those he has hired, THEIR work, not his. He’s been stumbling along getting lucky in spite of himself, largely because other people happened to be competent. And has failed when no one around him could overcome his incompetence.
