I don't care for all of Surber's stuff, but that one is outstanding. I want to post some excerpts from it here.
And I will say if this is a signal of the direction Bannon is going, Breitbart has a BIG problem:
From the Daily Caller just now: "House Agrees To $1.6 Billion For Border Wall."
What Trump gets out of the deal
Politics is a lot like the stock market. The bears hit last night, running scared on a rumor, and misreading "excluding the wall" as the wall will not be built.
Being bullish, I read it as an admission by Democrats that the wall is non-negotiable. Off the table. President Trump has the authority to build the wall, and he will.
This was what was meant by "excluding the wall" because President Trump told them the wall was non-negotiable. Show some faith, OK? He did not seek election to sell you out.
But the bears ran wild today.
Breitbart News -- which is morphing into Steve Bannon's Personal Department of Perpetual Publicity -- hopped all over it: "Report: Trump Caves on DACA, Wants ‘Quick’ Amnesty for 800K Illegal Aliens."
It is marketing, not journalism.
From Breitbart:
In a meeting with establishment politicians from the Problem Solvers Caucus and the Blue Dog Coalition, President Trump signaled a full-fledged cave on the issue of giving amnesty to nearly 800,000 illegal aliens currently protected by an Obama-created executive immigration program.Since Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the ultimate end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, under which hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens were given work permits and temporary protected status, Trump has remained unclear on whether he would stick to his anti-amnesty campaign promises or cave to the political establishment.At his White House meeting with moderates, according to The Hill, Trump is set to choose a legislative deal that quickly legalizes the nearly 800,000 illegal aliens on DACA, without getting any pro-American immigration reforms in return.The story is speculation.
Let us go to what The Donald said.
 Donald J. Trump
No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote.

Donald J. Trump
The WALL, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls, will continue to be built.
