"Carping after the event" implies that she has just got her nose out of joint about a minor beaurocratic matter. Neither the huge scope of the EO or the process with which it was drafted/implemented are trivial items and think you are doing a disservice to minimalise it this way.

Perhaps.....
 
I agree I made a pretty extreme statement, but in these conditions I don't think anything can be ruled out. Consider:

1. Bannon is a complete monster who is on record saying he's a Leninist who hopes to burn down the entire American system. Possibly the most dangerous political type we've ever had.
He's not though. At all.

Communism is a leftist economic ideology in which the means of production are controlled by the workers.

Leninism is the political theory of encouraging a political awakening of the proletariat to take over the government on the road to socialism or communism.

Steve Bannon is a fascist. He has far more in common with Nazism than Leninism.

Not that I disagree with the thrust of your statement, it is just a personal pet peeve conflating the extreme right with the extreme left. Of course both fundamentally end up in strong-man governments because they are counter to human nature and thus must be governed through force, but socialism should not be tainted with Steve Bannon...we have our own bad apples, he isn't one of them.

I think when he called himself Leninist it was only in the sense of how to acquire power. In any other context he is far, far right wing.
