Keep digging. Bannon was a founding board member of Breitbart. He helped financed it from the start and elevated Andrew Breitbart from a basement hate blogger to an actual media voice.
None of this is mystery or unclear.
Breitbart was one thing with Andrew Breitbart running it. When he died, Bannon took over editorial control and Breitbart changed dramatically (and grew massively).
ABC/CNN had Biden at 261 EV and Trump at like 130 or 140 as of what they know now. Biden needs 9 votes to win with Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, Wisky, and Michigan still up for grabs. But as the guy who name escapes me on MSNBC said, Biden may not win one of those states and that could be very very likely.

Bull####. Brietbart was always a bomb throwing mate mongering series of blogs (Big Government, Big Hollywood, Big Journalism). Bannon was the brains behind pulling them together to be just Breitbart and becoming more of a "news" voice. Andrew Breitbart was the face and the "talent." Bannon and the board were the brains. The organization was already solidified and prepared for the future, regardless of Breitbart's death. It's hilarious that RW trolls don't even know the history behind the very people they worship.

Michigan is not really up for grabs.

After 3+ years it's stunning that we have to even consider the possibility that Trump could get re-elected. What happened to our neighbors? That country is a disaster right now.

I've never been a Breitbart nor a Bannon fan - although his antagonism towards the Republican establishment is funny sometimes.
But you're incorrect...Breitbart changed after Bannon took over direct editorial control.
ABC/CNN had Biden at 261 EV and Trump at like 130 or 140 as of what they know now.

Biden has a five point lead in three states. Biden's lowest advantage is almost as large as Trump's biggest. But of course it's not very likely. Things keep getting worse and worse for Trump from a legal and visual perspective, but some how that's not going to influence the public and their vote. I mean, 70 Republicans from the intelligence community have come out and stated Trump is unfit to lead.
Americans are ignorant, but they aren't stupid. Without the media cheering for this to be close, the numbers are stacking up for a significant statement vote.

President Trump said he would send law enforcement to Election Day polls to prevent voter fraud during a Thursday night interview, alarming academics, activists and former federal officials, who fear Trump campaign efforts to suppress voter turnout—and question whether Trump has the authority to make good on this threat.
“We’ve suspected this would happen and here it is. Anything to intimidate and stop people from voting,” tweeted Vanita Gupta, CEO of civil rights organization The Leadership Conference.
“This is extremely disturbing voter suppression,” election rights author Ari Berman wrote on Twitter, while historian Ruth Ben Ghiat described it as a “classic right-wing authoritarian tactic.”
Walter Shaub, former director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, tweeted that Trump is “sending law enforcement because it would be a crime to send the military,” but it seems the president could lack the authority to do so.
According to Rick Hasen, an election law expert who teaches at the University of California-Irvine, “Trump has no authority over local law enforcement such as sheriffs, so as commander in chief he cannot be ordering local law enforcement officials to be poll watchers.”
Watching Biden's speech right now, and yeah, I agree with what pundits are saying that this sort of format, with no audience and no pauses for applause, suits him well. I don't think he's got a compelling speaking style overall, but when he's talking quietly about grief and loss and purpose, it's about as strong as I can recall him speaking.
I wonder if we see a GOP shift away from the Biden cognitive decline push. They've made the bar way too low, his speech last night was good even without applying the scale grading, but by painting him as even less coherent than Trump it was basically a home run.

As cringy as that autotune "doesn't sound anything like the people look" video is, I really can't believe they released a cliche canadian video and dropped a "we're sauury for" in the middle of it.
Been a while since I heard that, guess it's time again.
Well the both sides many sides kind of takes away from a very real problem in America that's been rising for years. Yes, the GOP is worse, but yes both parties carry water for the 1% and continue to destroy potential and way of life for the average American as they siphon everything to the top.
It's unfortunately been turned into a "If you say anything bad about the democrats you're an idiot who doesn't understand how bad the GOP is", but there's so much more nuance and malice from America's political parties.
And before the predictable response, let me be clear - Yes, at the present getting Trump out of office is the most important thing in the world (Not often you get to say "most important thing in the world" without exaggeration).

That Canadian youtube video is horrendous. We already have Out For a Rip, we're good, please no one make any more of those.
