Before the week is out, Steve Bannon will be Inspector General for all agencies. And just because they “pulled it back,” doesn’t mean the intent wasn’t there and that line of thinking isn’t there.
Employees who protest
News outlets who persist in asking questions
Oversight positions?
Either follow our orders or shut up and get out!
And so far the GOP seems to be pretty much OK with all of the feints in this direction as long as they pull them back, at least for the moment. But sooner or later they are back with even more dangerous ideas.
Tweeto Donnie’s management style is when putsch comes to shove…
“…the actions by Trump Administration officials demonstrate a troubling pattern of misguided and politically-motivated attacks on government watchdogs, ethics officials, and career government employees…”
This is what Trump promised in his campaign, correct? Shouldn’t have surprised anyone.
It was no mistake, they just got caught!
Puncture wounds
That’s Generalquartiermeister Bannon to you. Show some respect…
“Inspectors General.” Same as “attorneys general.” Just sayin’.
The first act of the really smart criminals is to find a way to neutralize or distract the police.
QED
Just an innocent mistake. The T-Rump crew thought inspectors general were the group that reviewed the top military brass at a dress parade.
still dont think there is a coup in progress?
and BTW/// the president and his top advisor agent orange…are ratcheting up the war talk against Iran…just as i predicted they would from day one.
Let us dispense with the notion that these guys don’t know what they are doing…
They know exactly what they are doing…
And there are no shortage of feckless Republicans who see the means to an unwholesome end…
Congressional republicans will cover for President Bannon until they are no longer necessary.
@asturcot Yes, as a Leninist, Bannon knows that the first priority is gathering all the reins of power. Governing is secondary. The Bolshevik government was in complete disarray for quite some time. Lenin didn’t give a damn as long as he shared power with no one, not even allies.
But what does President Bannon have to say about this stumbling about in the dark?
Welcome to the Fourth Reich!
You had better hope that a major crises emerges soon that affects their base directly…
That is the only way that they will be persuaded to abandon Trump…
They are eating this shit up hand over fist…
The “ban” is supported by a small majority of Americans.
We are getting our asses handed to us while we smugly made snide remarks that amount to nothing more than a circle jerk…
Chiselin’ Trump (loudly, as usual): “I know more than the Inspector Generals!”
“With each new administration, I’m sure there’s a learning curve, and hopefully they’ve learned that lesson," Chaffetz added.
This administration isn’t interested in learning. Interest in curves is limited to those which may be grabbed.
He doesn’t care even a little.
A new day, a new horror story.
