Stephen K. Bannon, the new CEO of the Donald Trump campaign, was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence, battery and dissuading a witness following an incident in early January 1996, though the case was ultimately dismissed, according to a police report and court documents.
The Santa Monica, Calif., police report says that Bannons then-wife claimed he pulled at her neck and wrist during an altercation over their finances, and an officer reported witnessing red marks on her neck and wrist to bolster her account. Bannon also reportedly smashed the phone when she tried to call the police.

(81,466 posts)I feel kinda bad for her, actually. She's 46. Close to aging out. Expect her to be dismissed soon. Certainly AFTER the general election. She may have another couple of years for so, but I doubt she'll go the distance.

(5,611 posts)his behavior as "they get what's coming to them." In her view, which she has stated repeatedly, Trump doesn't criticize anyone unfairly, anyone who doesn't criticize him (poor, vulnerable Drumpf) first. Yeah, riiiiight. So the women Trump called hideous names, publicly ridiculed, hounded incessantly, etc all deserved it according to Melania's deeply disturbing, abuser-enabling language.
Melania enables his abuse of women, and she is married to this billionaire abuser. Whatever their prenup stated she would be handsomely provided for in a divorce and very likely have custody of Barron, which will mean more $$$ (as "great father" Trump never cared about custody all that much). I have no idea why anyone finds her sympathetic.

(150 posts)a lot about her racist husband she never knew before. Melania should high tail it out of that marriage so fast, head back to Italy and/or France where she lived before, find a wonderful husband who would give her the respect she so desires. Respect is what she wants. She admires Michele Obama and the family life she has.

(48 posts)I mean, Hillary's speech pretty much exposed Bannon for the bigoted moron that he is. Stuff like this only hurts Trump even more, and puts pressure on him to dismiss Bannon from his current job.
God, what a clusterfuck the Trump campaign really is.

(81,466 posts)But then again, that vile schmuck Andrew Breitbart keeled over dead here in So Cal. I know the general area where it happened but not the specific spot. If I did, I'd take some sacred sage and do a brief smudging ceremony there, to purify any remaining bad vibes.

(3,072 posts)They are trying to knock Trump off balance. He's gone at least 5 days since a major tantrum, I think the dems are trying to provoke one. It will probably work too.
