This is pretty startling stuff from CNN: http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/22/media/breitbart-prank-emails/index.html. Apparently a "prankster" e-mailed Breitbart editorial staff pretending to be Bannon. They gleefully discussed how to attack the globalists left in the WH, including a plan to smear Ivanka with a personal attack so vile CNN (rather schoolmarmishly) refused to say what it was. They promised to be able to completely alienate the president from his favourite child by Christmas.

Now, if you're wondering this might some sort of 12-dimensional chess by the globalists, Breitbart was asked for comment and responded with basically "Yeah? So what? We hate those guys." Apparently their ethical fibres are so coarse that they don't see planning to destroy a father-daughter bond with lies as anything violating normal journalistic ethics.

I'm still not entirely convinced Breitbart (particularly now that Bannon's back in the rat nest) isn't part of the whole smoke-and-mirrors machine surrounding the WH and distracting the public with manufactured crises. This looks like hot air, bluff, and bluster, bully threats and tattling with little tangible substance, but creating a nice big ruckus. (As for ethical fibers, I wasn't aware Breitbart ever had any, coarse or otherwise...)

I think this shows just how far we've gone that people aren't more shocked by this. Breitbart is considered by many on the right to be a legitimate news source. Yet in this exchange they openly plan to effect political change by planting false and slanderous news stories, attacking not just someone on the left, but the daughter of the man they claim to support.

I think this does prove that Trumpists are masters of projection. They attack the mainstream media as "fake news" because they have so little compunction about lying themselves that they just assume all news sources do, and everyone knows it. Sort of like adulterers who "know" their partners are cheating.

Why wouldn't they. They attacked DJT's speech and policy on Afghanistan. They only question is, as Brightdreamer said, is it a real attack or diversionary smoke and mirrors.

Oh, you mean Jared and Ivanka and Stevie B. ain't besties no more? Good. Hand them all long sharp knives and let 'em fight it out.

There's an African saying that goes, When elephants fight it is the grass that suffers. Let the various Trump factions duke it out and we'll deal with whomever survives the carnage.

Just don't be the grass.

There's just something about it that shows how meanspirited Bannon and Breitbart are. Trump doesn't have much love in his life. Ivanka's probably the one person who seems to love him wholeheartedly. The man doesn't even own a dog.

But Breitbart will happily destroy that one relationship that maybe brings a little true affection into his life. Whether or not you think Trump deserves it, it shows they really have no human decency, not the slightest drop. They're just pure evil, even to the point of devouring their own.
