Steve Bossieās been peddling bullshit for years. No reason to expect anything different from him here. I think we can expect from all the āgood talkā folks are painting on Bannonās departure that heās going to be a problem. Itās silly to think a man like Steve Bannon isnāt pissed off about getting axed. Of course he is. And he wants retribution. No Liberal or Democrat was responsible for that kick in the ass. My guess it was Kelly and Kushner that moved Trump to do it. And thatās where Bannon will point his mouthpiece BāBart News. No one can control him now. BāBart will boil over with outrageous allegations and climes and the Trump administration will have to tap dance away from that. It doesnāt matter if Bannon is pissing out of or into the tent. Heās trouble and now heās unchained.
It is probably a thankless, even hopeless, task, but I am trying to reconcile this, and other, āBannon will fight for Trumpās agenda from outsideā declarations, with the āSchwarzenegger 2.0ā clarion from the Breitbartistas. It begins to seem like Trotskyites in exile versus Stalinists in control, battling over the legacy of Lenin; or summatā¦
Yes, David. I am sure everything is sunshine and daisies and unicorn farts, and the reason everybody on the White house staff in running around like headless chickens is because they drank too much espresso.
The only time I want to see Bossie on air is if he does a Downfall bunker scene, on air, simultaneously chomping down on a cyanide capsule and pulling the trigger of a Luger aimed at his temple.
I suspect Donald will converse with Bannon 5 times a day, and Bannon will be very supportive, over all, of his partial creation.
Bannon takes his marching orders from the Mercers. After all, they own a huge chunk of Breitbart. I donāt claim to know what they think, but heāll do what they want.
If Bannon had really ever been an asset to the Trump White House, he could have filleted and eaten a newborn child on national TV and Trump would not have gotten rid of him, and not one fucking member of the GOP would have criticized him or called for his ouster.
If Bannon is such a brilliant strategist and knows the machinations of D.C. politics and the D.C. media, then why does everything Trump does turn to shit, and why have Trumpās numbers been in the toilet since the beginning of his presidency?
I think Bannon truly believed what Trump did: that Trump had the most astounding electoral victory in history and that the 3 million popular vote victory by Hillary was from ballots cast by illegal immigrants. Trump won because of a fluke in the electoral system, but neither Bannon or Trump will ever concede this.
Trump and Bannon have the same problem Sarah Palin had: she could not stand the idea of anyone around her being smarter or more well-informed or more knowledgeable about policy than she was, so she surrounded herself with people that were even dumber, both intellectually and politically, than she was. If you are a politician, no matter how smart you are, you always try to have people on your team that are smarter and more skilled than you are, and people who are not afraid to say, āIf you do this, you are out of your fucking mind, and you are going to look like an asshole.ā
But Trump, Bannon, and Palin are like the person with advanced lung cancer who keeps smoking three packs of Camels a day because, āWhat do those fucking doctors know, anyway?ā
ā¦weāve all read about and seen about the different factions within the White House staff.ā He said such divisions exist in āevery presidency.ā
Oh sure, sure. Weāve all seen it, just like the āall sidesā in Charlottesville.
I used to think that Trump was too afraid of (and perhaps awe struck by and beholden to) Bannon to fire him ā not to mention he wouldnāt want to offend the Mercers.
Now, because Trump is falling like a lead balloon after Charlottesville, itās possible he and Bannon parted amicably, with Bannon realizing Trump will only be further neutered by a close association with him. The Mercers would smile on that too. Just damage control.
But Iām not totally sure how to read this turn at all ā except to say itās obvious itās been in the works for weeks. It could be Kelly, but that would imply a less than amicable divorce, with Trump throwing Bannon over for a new shiny object, and then there would be resentment. Even if they shook hands and wished each other well.

@dommyluc āBannon is such a brilliant strategist and knows the machinations of D.C. politics and the D.C. media, then why does everything Trump does turn to shitā
Right you are there. Those are things Bannon absolutely doesnāt get, and his ego makes him think he and his āmovementā and Trump can roll right over them both. Or in other words, when it comes to administration policy, heās an asshole. And Iām almost sorry to see him go because he gave such piss poor advice.
a host
Nothing heavenly about this hostā¦
Seems like each, Trump/Bannon, has the other in a survivor-based, deathās embrace, knives to throats or testicles.
As Nazi Chris Cantwell said in the infamous Vice Charlottesville footage, their side doesnāt trust, work as well together as liberals do and require āteamā exercises.
Trump and outside Bannon will manufacture team exercises for their base via their Sinclair ānetworkā.
That this minimal, often half-assed, āworkā is violent and destructive creates a media-induced feel of being effective. It is mostly head trip.
āWhenever I travel to Manhattan from my hidden lair in South America, I always stay at the Trump Tower Hotel. The accommodations are impeccable, and the doormen are delicious!ā

Um, except for the division along racist lines.
Can SCOTUSā Dark Money spin Hannibal Lector into the Bobbsey Twins?
They keep trying to run this country like a business.
America is not the Quik-E Mart, and Trump will never be as smart as Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.
Next on Fox! āThe Bobbsey Twins Eat Nancy Drewā.
Trump couldnāt even run a business. The king of bankruptcy claims. Heās just a huckster who got lucky with good ratings on a piece of crap tv show.
Yes, and I hear Adolf had quite a few ādivisionsā when he invaded Poland.
Let us not forget the Mercerās Russian connections and those mysterious disappearing campaign Breitbart cookies for those now spouting the odd claim that āof all Trumpies only Bannon is Ruskie-freeāā¦nor those who have said the game remains afoot even with most of the compromised sponged from the Executive branch, most.
Baghdad Bossie says what?
Man, Iād hate to be your shoes!
