To be sure, it’s not difficult to get inside Steve Bannon’s head.
If we assume that he’s now gone so far down the rabbit hole that he actually believes in the post-Hollywood persona he’s worked so hard to cultivate over the past several years, one imagines that beneath the disheveled mop that passes for hair and behind the moonscape he calls a face, is a word cloud full of racial epithets, excerpts from Nassim Taleb books, derogatory nickname ideas for Jared Kushner, and Breitbart headlines.
Of course we can’t know for sure what goes on in Bannon’s head, but thanks to some twit pics from Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, we do know for sure what’s on his white board.
Here are the pictures:

Oh, and if you’re wondering what a Rabbi was doing meeting with Steve Bannon in the first place, and before you go thinking that Shmuley Boteach’s glowing praise is somehow representative of how the Jewish community feels about Steve in general, do note that this is one Rabbi who writes for Breitbart.
Has Steve Bannon and Manuel Noriega ever been seen before at the same place and the same time https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/Manuel_Noriega_mugshot_cropped.jpg
Noriega could be called handsome compared to Bannon. And the good Rabbi, does he understand that the GOP’s fascination with Israel, for many, is rooted in its ultimate destruction and the rapture of the saved. I don’t think Bannon is an evangelical, he just really hates Islam.
