Dude, Ok, your guy won. Now you’re next to the man who will be “the most powerful man in the free world”. You’re a white supremacist, I get that. Thing is, how about being a little fucking you know, SUPREME! Get a haircut, cop a shave, buy a suit. You look like you’ve been sleeping in the back of your car FFS. I’m gonna keep my eye on you and your ilk. I’m an old white guy and though I’ve never had any delusions as to my so called supremacy I still look better than you when I’m changing the oil in the wife’s car. I don’t know if there are only a few photographs of you in existence, maybe you’re like the snow leopard, elusive and hard to capture. Every photo I see of you, you look like crap. Hey, your heroes, those fucktards from the Third Reich, say what you will, but at least when they were cruising around in the big Mercedes convertibles, they looked sharp. You think Albert Speer showed up to the office in his PJ’s? Ditch the Members Only jacket and clean your act up. You got 4 years to show us how damn “supreme” you guys are, then it’s game over. By the way, tell your boss not to go too hard on “the gays”. He’ll end up with a straight guy like me designing Melania’s dresses. Not good. She’ll end up looking like she was from the old Wendy’s “Russian Fashion Show” commercial. Mind the Gap. ---

I think camo should look fine in the west wing…throw in one of those Crocadile Dundee hats, and sporting some masonic-looking hob-nobbed walking cane. Or just act like he’s some fitness putz and wear nothing but neon-colored cycling tights. EDIT: For the sake of boner prevention, I sure hope that **Clothahump** didn’t read that last sentence. ---

It always seems to be the the ones claiming to be the “master race” are usually the worst examples of it. (Like KKK members with missing teeth, great big beer bellies, neck beards, etc) I’m like, “If you’re a representative of ‘the Master Race’, we’re all in deep shit.” ---

Well, of course! The effects of sexual selection on genetic improvement would necessarily lead to a more “ugly” human being because…no, wait, that’s stupid, never mind. ---

I think his shabby dressing style is the very biggest clue he was hired to be fired. The Don has always been very open about liking people well dressed, no slobs tolerated! His 10 yr old ONLY wears suits! He hired him, to outrage, and attention (his manna!). He will fire him, to more attention AND accolades, while appearing more moderate. Plus this whack job crew all get White House experience for their resumes, even though they will end up getting canned! It’s the same script as his TV show, manipulation and distraction. For ratings and attention. ---

White male privilege. A racial minority or a woman who looked that raggedy wouldn’t be appointed to clean out a toilet. ---

Bannon just has multiple chins. Not that everybody needs a perfect physique. (I surely don’t.) But imperfections–and age–make good grooming even more important. My favorite style critique was inspired by [an article on Stormfront’s enthusiastic reaction](http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/stormfront-on-steve-bannons-appointment-it-doesnt-get-1789008594) to Bannon’s new job. It quoted various Stormfront messages & got this comment: > [@](#): > > Pretty wild that Stormfront can’t find a single fucking grammar nazi. ---
