Exclusive: Trump campaign CEO wanted to destroy Ryan

[DonViejo]

Source: The Hill

Steve Bannon, the chairman of the right-wing news outlet Breitbart who became CEO of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, gave explicit orders to his staff to destroy Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).

On editorial conference calls, the Breitbart chairman would often say “Paul Ryan is the enemy,” according to a source who worked with Bannon at the news organization.

In December 2015, weeks after Ryan became Speaker, Bannon wrote in an internal Breitbart email obtained by The Hill that the “long game” for his news site was for Ryan to be “gone” by the spring.
In the Dec. 1 email, Breitbart’s Washington editor, Matt Boyle, suggested to Bannon via email that a story promoting Ryan’s planned overhaul of the mental health system would be a good way to “open a bridge” to Ryan. Bannon wasn’t keen on the idea.

“I’ve got a cure for mental health issue,” Bannon wrote to Boyle. “Spank your children more.”

9. Godwin's Comparison: Night of the Long Knives

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives

was a purge that took place in Nazi Germany from June 30 to July 2, 1934, when the Nazi regime carried out a series of political extra-judicial executions intended to consolidate Hitler's absolute hold on power in Germany. Many of those killed were leaders of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the Nazis' own paramilitary Brownshirts organization; the best-known victim was Ernst Röhm, the SA's leader and one of Hitler's longtime supporters and allies. Leading members of the left-wing Strasserist faction of the Nazi Party (NSDAP), along with its figurehead, Gregor Strasser, were also killed, as were prominent conservative anti-Nazis

Just, you know, file that one away if the worst happens, because if that happens, so will this.

11. So, essentially, this is the third prong of the Free State project

First the attempt to get lots of people to move to New Hampshire to tilt it red

Then lots of white supremacist making their way into the police system and "establishing their kind of order"

And now it's clearer that they're making the big play for the federal government itself.

along with the "law'n'order" and the racism. And you guys thought Trump was studying Hitler.

16. Paul Ryan humiliated Mr. Trump & continues to ruin him. Tumps so weak he only 'fights' on twitter.

Jeb! Bush probably knew of his cousins "pussy grabber" recording last year and held on to it until this week to help Republicans ruin Trump.

[CanonRay]

17. Nothing like a GOP circular firing squad!

18. Who the fuck has a "CEO" of a political campaign? Only the bizarre Trump campaign.

[Botany]

20. Who the fuck has a "CEO" of a political campaign?

A campaign organization that has it's top two people with zero experience running a campaign.

19. “Spank your children more.”... Yeah, apparently that didn't work on you. You fucking sociopathic

chode.

21. Truthfully, it doesn't really

work on any body. At best, it creates children that fear their parents.
