Fresh Air tonight - fascinating (and sickening) - all about Bannon

And I am referring to the NPR radio show, Terry Gross' Fresh Air.

A Bloomberg writer did an expose on Bannon. I could only listen to the first 20 minutes or so.

But the important equation to know is that Drudge begat Breitbart begat Bannon.

And this scumbag is a so-called key adviser to our so-called scumbag president.

What was horrifying was to hear this all reported in such clinical, clean methodology. As if there are not victims at the end of the bullshit that Bannon so gleefully shits out of his brain.

Empathy, decency, inclusion - what the hell is happening to our world? How have so many people become so totally twisted and hateful?

"What do you think about the swastika?"

"It's a symbol of ancient history and has an old meaning"

"So I'll put that down in the support column"

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

They just weren't as obvious as they are now.

Trump gave them permission to stand up and be heard, and they went for it, big time.

As to where they came from, I have no idea.

I just wish they'd go back there, NOW.

~sigh~
