I was reading through a Guardian live thread that is reporting on a number of political events today and stumbled across this disturbing tweet. That’s one scary gathering.

Yesterday was Steve Bannon’s birthday and the former top White House aide had some interesting guests at his party.

2. It does sound like quite the Faustian fete.

3. Slime like these

are always securing a foreign haven to which they might flee if they're caught at home.

4. Yes, and he's been active globally to influence even more far-right directions in foreign nations.

5. What do get for the man who's worth nothing?

6. An on-going international tour bringing the far-right together under the guise of populism.

Here’s a recent Canadian report from one stop on his tour.

Bannon has been drumming up support for far-right groups and xenophobic politicians around Europe and South America for months using the term “populism” to describe his political philosophy.

8. Thanks.

9. Bannon's been making the rounds of countries where the leadership is in anti-democracy mode.

He's recently been to Poland, Italy, the UK (Brexit) and Brazil. This POS is an international menace.

10. Yes, he keeps going to push the far-right propaganda.

Agree he is an international menace, which is why that tweet caught my attention.

I noticed he went to Canada, too (see post #6) so he’s trying to stir up trouble with our peaceful northern neighbor as well.
