    Hmm,

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/during-his-political-rise-stephen-k-bannon-was-a-man-with-no-fixed-address/2017/03/11/89866f4c-0285-11e7-ad5b-d22680e18d10_story.html?utm_term=.36ed814d4cc7

    "Under Florida law, it is a third-degree felony to provide false information on a voter registration application. It is punishable by up to five years in prison. First-time offenders are rarely given more than probation, something that could also lead to the loss of a security clearance."

    "Officials from the State Attorney’s Office for Miami-Dade County, which is led by an elected Democrat, declined to provide details about their probe into Bannon’s residency claim. In denying a Post request for documents about the investigation, officials cited confidentiality rules for “active criminal investigative information.”

    "But proving wrongdoing in Bannon’s case could be difficult because state law does not clearly define residency, according to an official who spoke on the condition of anonymity."

    Even now he looks like a bum.

    Especially with that red nose he has:


    The Link Between Rosacea and Alcohol

    "Not only is his reddish and bulbous nose a telltale sign of severe rosacea left untreated, but it has become synonymous with alcohol abuse. And that leaves many of the 14 million Americans with rosacea red-faced for a reason besides their skin condition"

    :smile: Too much devil juice. We have a dry drunk guy as Americas right hand man to the President.

    You should read some of the Twitter feeds from disgruntled White House staff. They're very descriptive about Bannon's alcoholism.

    Drinking Politicians

    I remember some memes and "articles" about Hillarys drinking behaviors. Bannons drinking problem is a new one to me.

    When you have nothing else, throw a bunch of crap against the wall, hoping some will stick.

    Yeah, but that one is a lot higher on the plausibility scale than "Obummer is a communist crypto-Muslim from Kenya!!1!!"

    I never said that, but let's pretend that both are true; I'd rather have a drunk in a position of power than the other, wouldn't you? :wink:

    In any case, even in Bannon does have a booze problem, so what? As long as he keeps it to his private time, who cares? John Adams, Teddy Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Lyndon Johnson were all known to be big drinkers, and they managed to do some pretty good things.

    Ted Kennedy goes without saying, and while I disagreed with him on almost everything, his obvious problem with booze didn't hurt his influence as a US Senator.

    That's actually a good point.

    This is the most stunning statement I have ever heard. Technically true but 100% misleading or misguided.

    As to Mr. Bannon's alleged drinking problem: it's not among the top 100 things about him that should bother anyone. As far as I know, he's not in the nuclear chain of command; otherwise, his choice of entertainment / health status has nothing to do with his performance (dreadful for other reasons). It could be useful to tease him, but that would be both immoral and ineffective: unlike his boss Bannon doesn't appear to be particularly thin-skinned.

    Precisely. It was wrong of me to poke fun about someone's POSSIBLE drinking problem.

    What, that I'd rather have an alcoholic in power than a Communist? What's so stunning about that?

    Alcoholism, I understand.
