I heard Steve Bannon spent tons of  accused fraudently money on cosmetic surgery, jewels and other things.   The only person better at conning would be  any doctor who talked him into having such a procedure.

Steve Bannon took a break from turning into compost for long enough to speak with Michael Wolff for Wolff’s latest book, Siege: Trump Under Fire. And Bannon had a lot of salty things to say about his ex-boss. The Guardian secured an advance copy of the book, scheduled to be...

Welcome to what I hope will become a daily feature. This carnival we call the Trump Presidency is like an out of control merry-go-round, shit being thrown off in every direction at 100 mph. By the time the 6:00 news rolls around, you've completely forgotten the “breaking news” of 8:39...
