Bannon fires up 'shock troops' for next GOP White House
NBC News ^ | October 2, 2021 | Jonathan Allen

Posted on 10/03/2021 5:25:26 PM PDT by absalom01

WASHINGTON — Scores of former Trump political appointees gathered at a GOP social club Wednesday night to hear Steve Bannon detail how they could help the next Republican president reconfigure government.

"If you’re going to take over the administrative state and deconstruct it, then you have to have shock troops prepared to take it over immediately," Bannon said in a telephone interview with NBC News. "I gave 'em fire and brimstone."

...

Trump often railed publicly about career civil servants and Obama administration political appointee holdovers whom he saw as obstacles to his agenda, referring to them collectively as the "deep state."

Bannon said he wants to see pre-trained teams ready to jump into federal agencies when the next Republican president takes office. For the most part, that means the tiers of presidential appointees whose postings don't require Senate confirmation.

Steve can be a dork, but there's no question that the permanent bureaucracy in DC were able to thwart large portions of Trump's agenda, and their constant leaking kept distracting the administration, forcing them to constantly be putting out fires.

The best outcome, IMHO, would be having a few hundred dedicated souls trained and ready to just burn the entire administrative state to the ground the moment a new Republican president is inaugurated.

That said, the "journalist" class was melting down over this, which is a sure sign that they're realizing that crazy uncle Joe and "heels up" Harris are looking like a one-term administration at this point.

Bannon’s got a plan which separates him from the legions of white shoe country club Republicans.

“...looking like a one-term administration at this point.”

If they make it through December; unless SCOTUS puts the clamps on TIGHT, we’re hosed.

I was looking for something to do when I retire.

Maybe I’ll toss my hat in the ring, I’d be glad to help dismantle any of the big three-letter agencies (BATFE would be my first choice though.)

Well, at some point we are for sure hosed. But I like Bannon’s idea to fight the deep state where it might actually make a difference.

But I still plan to BLOAT, as always.

I recommend going to the Virginia Military Institute. Go back 20 years and recruit the entire graduating class going 20 years back. That’s the core you can trust, and put them in charge. It’s broom closets and no telephones for the Swamp. 2 years in, the arrests start.

Yeah. Huh.

Great options:
Go in subjugation
Go in glory

I’m exhausting every legal option, first.

None of these injections would exist without abortion. They were all created using human cells that trace to the long-ago in utero slaughter of an innocent human person. I will not be an accomplice after the fact, and lend my stamp of approval to that atrocity by accepting any of these formulas.

The road narrows.

Real power does not come from just electing a charismatic populist like Trump without his having a deep network of movers and shakers that are synchronized behind him in a coherent force and can work the levers of the political machine. This was Trump’s mistake in Term 1. Term 2 must begin with mass firings at all levels unlike anything seen before.

This also requires loyal grass root politicians at the local and state levels that can shape the national party message and unify the message. It will take several elections to put all this in place but Bannon’s posse is about action, action, action. If you want talk watch Fox.

The election system is kaput as of 2020. Anyone who thinks it still works is deluding himself.

LOL “when”. And also LOL at the salivating over the power federal agencies unconstitutionally wield. That tells me someone is not thinking in terms of the Constitution.

If the Republicans hope to ever win another election, they need to be printing “mail in ballots “ by the hundreds of thousands, and develop a distribution network to the respective counties.

Next they have to have dedicated poll workers to count the ballots, and oversee the counting , with the ability to stop ,or extend the process at a point

I agree

Dissolve EVERY .gov agency but the Treasury and secret service and US Marshals.

Sh!tcan the “ federal reserve” that isn’t federal and has no reserve and has been counterfeiting our currency.

Fire and Send the IRS back to Puerto Rico.

Turn the Pentagon into a homeless shelter and mental hospital.

Outlaw lobbiests.

Hang all traitors found guilty by trial.

Make vote and election fraud a capital offense.

Outlaw any entity that advocates overthrowing our constitutional Republic.

After a trial and conviction finds them guilty of MUTINY
and a Treasonous Coup
hang Pelosi , mattis, and milley
on the white house lawn and leave the swinging corpses up till their skeletons are picked clean by vultures then charge a dime to beat the bones with a stick like pinatas.

Outlaw communism outright.

Outlaw Islam
( a terrorist criminal cartel in religious camafloge)
outright.

Return D.C. to Maryland and turn it into a state park.

Make all Congress telework from their home states.

Audit each and every city, county, state and federal election every election from now on.

Rico investigate every federal employee and contractor and lobiest still alive.

And shoot up Tony fauci with all the vaccines every day till the supply is gone.

That would be a good start.

Ymmv.

The Republicans are on the side of the Democrats and do not care if they ever win another election. They exist only to pretend there’s an opposition party.

Big problem Trump had was not nearly enough people that were not beholden to the Uniparty. Bannon is smart to start recruiting now. They will also need those boots on the ground for a national campaign.

Didn’t Bannon have the same plan for Trump in 2017. What does Trump do? Trump fills his cabinet almost exclusively with DS permanent bureaucratic hacks. If someone is working in DC and has that GOP (Uniparty R) affiliation they should be immediately disqualified for participation in any cabinet. I’d much prefer the first 15 names in the Podunk, Kentucky phone book to a cabinet, like Trump’s, composed of long term GOP swamp politicos with that DC stench about them.
