So ex-President Bannon is now a gossip queen?

And that didn’t strike you as potentially a dangerous trait in a president, Mr. Bannon? Amplify a false reality?

Oh, that’s right, you’re a primary creater/pusher of fake news to sell a false political narrative.

PS Is it just me - or is anyone else having problems going from the articles to the comments?

PS#2 - o/t - item that shows how a younger, female Representative in the House can effectively back up noxious Don Young http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/house-republican-causes-stir-claiming-female-lawmaker-doesn’t-know-a-damn-thing/ar-AAru7EU?li=BBnbcA1

This is bullshit posturing on Bannon’s part, trying to play the tough guy with a rewrite of history.

It was widely reported that Christie was shut out of any Cabinet positions, and removed from the transition team because of Jared’s family’s issues with Christie convicting his father.

Which of course immediately pokes holes in Bannon’s fake posturing. If Christie was out because Bannon said so due to the Access Hollywood tape…why was Christie in a high profile position on the transition team in the first place?

So REMEMBER folks…if you suck up to Donnie, right wrong or indifferent, you will get your way! Until of course, some like John Kelly who is ACTUALLY draining the swamp comes along. THEN you need to find a willing network to let the swamp perpetuate it’s dying gurgles (OK, I’m reaching for metaphors here, but you get my point!)

I’m having a hard time understanding why we should care about the Bannon’s rumored reasons that Christie didn’t get a cabinet post nine months ago. Seriously, why is this even being mentioned? This doesn’t even rise to the level of relevant gossip, and it happened nine months ago!

No doubt there’s a bottle of whiskey in the Green Room for Bannon, wherever he goes.

And you’re disregarding the bottles he has in Greeen Room chandeliers from coast to coast.

O.T., but has TPM covered this? This is unacceptable.

Despite the undeniable evidence that Donald Trump and his family colluded with the Russian government to undermine the U.S. election, Republicans in Congress are still resolutely dodging any discussion of the issue, all the while repeatedly proposing to re-investigate Hillary Clinton’s emails and conspiracy theories about the DNC.
On Thursday evening, during a conference of the House Judiciary Committee, Democrats introduced a resolution of inquiry into Trump’s ties to Russia, only to be summarily cut off by GOP chairman Bob Goodlatte.
Democrats on the committee were so outraged that they proceeded to walk out of the meeting:

Yes – am just now being able to post from my desktop, although I was able to access comments earlier from my IPhone. It can be frustrating because I need to hang out here with my peeps.

Yep! But as time passes, the ‘currency’ of his past WH time and stories will quickly fade w/o access to the staff, Trump, etc. as before. Better, since Trump manufactures new controversy every day, Bannon will be reduced to the role of commentator AFTER the fact, just like other bloggers, reporters, etc.

Its gotta be killing him to no longer be making the news. Instead, he’s in a backseat role now. And this is a great thing indeed!

Another broken comment link…
The passive/aggressive ‘page doesn’t exist’ screen, however, is a hoot with its ‘you may have mistyped’ advice for TPM’s ape-like readers.

On topic, I’m worried Bannon gave Charlie pink eye…

He wants to be a mean girl but nobody’s scared of him anymore. Sad.

Gropers, sexual predators, white christian supremacists and neo-nazis are not getting the respect they deserve. They ought to be canonized and beatified.
