I would think we will see a lot more of B than anything else. It would be interesting to see how r/the_donald sees this.

Sounds like something we say in here. "Unfit to be human" Man, I hope he see's that Tweet.
That shit ain't funny bro.
It isn't. So what's this feckhead doing in the White House then? The guy is a disgrace and an embarrassment. A rightwing racist bigot, who's pretty much doing the worst possible job imaginable at being president. At least he's completely useless compared to what Hitler was. God forbid if Trump was even half competent.

He should have immediately condemned what happened in Charlottesville, instead now he just sounds like he has been forced to do it.
Stopped when Cenk explained that SA is the closest ally of the U.S. (in the region) because they flood the market with cheap oil when the U.S. asks them to.
This story is about George Papadopoulos who is a new name to the Russia collusion story.

This is a pretty big story.
This wasn't about arranging a meeting with some unknown Russian official who we've never heard of. This advisor was desperate for a meeting to be arranged between Trump/campaign and Russian officials including Putin himself.

That would be actively against US economic interests right most of the timeStopped when Cenk explained that SA is the closest ally of the U.S. (in the region) because they flood the market with cheap oil when the U.S. asks them to.
Why Murdoch seems to be telling every politicians what they should and shouldn't do?
Perhaps he was confused it said woman and not racist white nationalist alt-right dude, so his mind thought just say American.

WTF is this shit??
People like him control politics.
Delete the thread, they are on our trail.
He's the guy who the far right should focus on.
They obsess over Soros, but Murdoch is a key player behind the scenes in politics.
That's the one conspiracy that I believe in but people seem to not be convinced. His name seems to be associated with every dodgy politicians.
Not even a conspiracy.
Murdoch, Kock brothers and now these Mercers... agree with @MoBeats that its not even a conspiracy at this point, they do it openly. Only thing that's debatable is what level of influence they manage to attain.
It's what happens when you own so much media (print and electronic) across the world - particularly the western world.
He can literally make or break a politician/govt.
As pointed out above - Koch and Mercer families are more practive and obviously limited to the US - SuperPACS, think tanks, advocacy groups, lobbies all funded with millions of $$$
Tbf Murdoch and Fox News are about to get some conservative competition with a revamped Sinclair Broadcasting Group TV juggernaut coming https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_Broadcast_Group

Jesus, can you imagine the reaction if Obama's administration had attempted to obtain the information of everyone who visited InfoWars or Breitbart?
For us it's not a conspiracy because it's kind of blatant but hundreds of millions of people seem totally oblivious to it, the guy actively influences elections and purposely misinform people. Also it seem that the News Of the World scandals have been ignored by most or maybe he gained critical information that he is using now?
The irony is that RAWK locks down more often than Stormfront by a country mile!!

From the start, Mr. Bannon, 63, has told people in his orbit that he never expected to last in his current position longer than eight months to a year, and hoped to ram through as much of his agenda as he could while he stood in the president’s favor. More recently he has told friends that he is working in the White House one day at a time, and constantly asks himself whether he could better pursue his to-do list — including cracking down on legal and illegal immigration — on the outside.
But the choice might not be his. At a recent dinner at the White House with Mr. Kushner and Mr. Kelly, before Mr. Trump decamped for a working vacation at his private golf club in Bedminster, N.J., the president listened while one of the guests, Mr. Murdoch, a founder of Fox News, said Mr. Bannon had to go.
Mr. Trump offered little pushback, according to a person familiar with the conversation, and vented his frustrations about Mr. Bannon. Mr. Murdoch is close to Mr. Kushner, who has been in open warfare with Mr. Bannon since the spring.
But Mr. Trump has expressed similar sentiments in the past, then backed off. Just a week earlier, as Mr. Trump ruminated on whether to dismiss his chief of staff at the time, Reince Priebus, he was pushed by Mr. Kushner and others to dismiss Mr. Bannon as well. Mr. Trump signaled to allies that he was pretty much there.
Someone — people close to the situation are still unsure whether it was initiated by Mr. Bannon or his cadre of administration allies — mustered a counteroffensive. Mr. Meadows reached out to the president and told him that he would lose his base without Mr. Bannon.
Mr. Bannon’s ability to hang on as Mr. Trump’s in-house populist is in part because of his connections to a handful of ultrarich political patrons, including Sheldon G. Adelson, the pro-Israel casino magnate who is based in Las Vegas.
He is especially close to the reclusive conservative billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter, Rebekah, who is a frequent sounding board for Mr. Bannon. In April, Mr. Mercer received assurances from Mr. Trump that he was not about to fire Mr. Bannon over his war with Mr. Kushner and moderates like Gary D. Cohn, the chairman of the National Economic Council and a top Trump adviser.
But Mr. Trump still publicly flayed Mr. Bannon, insulting him as a guy “who works for me.” It was a far cry from the lofty status Mr. Bannon enjoyed when he joined Mr. Trump’s faltering campaign in August 2016, when as a rich former investment banker he held the status of a near-peer and hell-raiser who shared his candidate’s daredevil approach to politics.
Mr. Bannon has not fared well in West Wing politics. His bonds with the president seem to be fraying daily, and Mr. Bannon has told friends his status as “staff” — compared with Mr. Kushner’s familial relationship with the president — will ultimately dictate his departure. But he has been adamant in maintaining that his loyalty to Mr. Trump will survive, and has suggested that he might direct his energies at creating a movement to challenge mainstream Republicans too timid to pursue the president’s agenda, like Speaker Paul D. Ryan.
Mr. Bannon’s cause is being damaged, people close to the president say, by a war he is waging against General McMaster. It has taken on a life of its own, with several alt-right websites faithful to Mr. Bannon tearing into the national security adviser.

Surely a declining viewership could be linked to his base drifting further and further into absurdity? Left used to mean progressive and inclusive. Now it's jumped the shark.
That would be a hugeee leap of faith tbh.
