The landmark civil rights act of 65 was primarily a Republican bill and opposed by many Democrats...

You'd make a pretty good troll if you weren't a true believer.

Just to set the record straight a bit.

1) The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was first proposed by JFK (Democrat)

2) It was ushered through by a majority Democrat Senate and House. In the House the Democrats had over a 2-1 advantage over Republicans

3) More importantly, the split in support for the Act was not along party lines but along geographic lines. The racist South very strongly opposed the Civil Rights Act. About 94% of southern senators and representatives (Dem and Rep) voted against the Act. About 90% of northern senators and representative (Dem and Rep) voted for the Act.

4) The 1965 Voting Rights Act was proposed by Democrat POTUS Lyndon Johnson.

5) Votes in the senate and house of reps followed along the same lines as the '64 act. Southerners voted against, everyone else voted for. Party lines did not play any significant role. Still worth noting that Democrats dominated both the house and senate as the '65 act was passed.

6) This was all before the brilliant Republican southern strategy based entirely on racism which turned the south into a Republican racist stonghold. So, at the time (1964), there were more southern racist Democrats than southern racist Republicans - so, yes, there were more southern racist Democrats to vote against the Act. Of course, you have since corrected that so that the GOP has a stranglehold on the southern racist vote.

Oh yeah, and how and why was the GOP so successful in taking over the racist south? Oh, primarily by playing off of racist resentment over the '64 and '65 Civil Rights Acts. So, yeah, it makes all kinds of sense for the GOP to try to take credit for the Civil Rights Acts. ROFLOL

In other words, The Deep State, the Swamp and The Establishment are rejecting Trump. The hard working real American people are defending him. Nothing has changed,

Thanks for providing the history. It's nice to actually learn something on this forum for once.

Southern Democrats were in many ways more conservative than Northern Republicans. As noted, they were Democrats because Lincoln was a Northern Republican.

So what's the motivation for Bannon's interview? Is his job really on the chopping block and this was a last ditch maneuver to somehow save it? Is he throwing in the towel and positioning himself for life after Trump? Does he think his position is completely safe and this was meant to be both an internal power play and distraction for Trump? Or is he actually just as big of a moron as Mooch? This season of The Apprentice sure has some interesting plot twists.

I've been skeptical that Bannon's job was ever in any real danger, given the influence he holds over Trump's core constituency. If Bannon goes, much of Trump's remaining political clout goes with him. But Trump is so stupid and vain he probably doesn't fully realize this. In any case, Bannon's absolutely right about North Korea, though not much else.

The interview occurred at approximately the same time as Trump went off-script and doomed his Presidency. So, I don't think distracting from Trump's predicament was the motivation. I think Bannon was legitimately calling the reporter to talk about trade policy with China and forgot to mention that the conversation was off-the-record. So, he's probably not as big of a moron as Mooch, but he's definitely impulsive and clumsy like Trump.

As far as his future, who knows? Trump is a loose cannon and doesn't behave rationally. The only thing that is predictable about the Trump Administration is that there will be more chaos.

I don't know. I find it hard to believe that a guy who has very deliberately kept a low public profile and run a media outlet (or whatever the hell Breitbart is) himself would randomly reach out to a member of the OPPOSITION Party just to spout off in a big way and forget say it's off the record. The portraits that have been painted of him suggest he's a bit more savvy than that. But I suppose it would make sense that he'd be just as incompetent as everyone else in this incompetent administration.

You're living in a fantasy world and are clueless as to what the future holds for America. Sheep like you are what they are counting on. Sadly, you are so ignorant that you actually believe what you say...it'll be too late one day and you'll only be able to say "I guess I was wrong after all". Laugh now, cry later.

I never thought this would happen, but Trump is Lexington news.

Bannon deliberately calling white supremacists, in public, losers...I mean those are his people. He may not be a white supremacist himself but he clearly knows the trumpers depend on those boys.

It's deeply weird. Hard to explain it other than bannon made the same mistake as the mooch by forgetting to say the convo was off the record. Hard to believe, but there it is.

you seem not to understand that Southern conservatives were in the Democratic Party back then. They switched to the Republican Party in the 70s and 80s.

Why don't you know that?

Where did you learn that nonsense?

I think Gary is trolling around 1/4 of the time. He at least knows something sometimes.

I think exthrower isn't a troll - I think he honestly is just going through life lazy and ignorant.

I would imagine that Bannon is not used to giving interviews that he would want off the record

Poor character

Antifa is declaring that they are a non politically affiliated organization. The are saying they do not represent the "left" .

No, what you tried to imply was that the GOP as it exists today was responsible for creating the major civil rights laws passed in the 1960's.

The truth, of course is exactly the opposite. The civil rights laws in the 1960's are responsible for creating the GOP as it exists today - fundamentally built upon racism and fighting the fight to roll back the advances we have made regarding civil rights in order to "make America ______ again".

Antifa has no political affiliation. That is why,
