Goodbye, DeMint. Hello Bannon…

I guess they could just switch places right? I’m sure Trump would welcome DeMint. A RWinger AND a former congresscritter…

Little known fact:

Heritage is an old Ojibway word meaning intellectual bankruptcy…

He got paid. That was all he really wanted. He can go away now.

It’s the part where he doesn’t lose his house and his car and end up with TB in a cardboard box in a DC ally that puts a damper on my pleasure in reading this.

Perhaps he can put himself on the short list to replace the next person in the current administration who is forced to leave to spend more time with their family.

Could be a very good move for Bannon. He has to hope that it’s not a mere theoretical possibility. They pulled an imbecilic maneuver by granting unproven DeMint such a lavish position to begin with. Predictably, it worked out about as badly as conceivable for them.

They might just be gunshy about embabarking on another bold experiment this time! Or can Bannon show them how we built the organization in his previous job?

Defective DeMint Deposed, Deserved and Delightful.

Okay, the presidential election may have been filled with foreboding, but after winning it all, watching the conservative’s subsequent collapse is like watching the faces of a bunch of Lions’ fans at the NFL Draft.

Or watching Bear’s fans with their first round pick. A combo platter of OMG, SOS. and WTF…

Saunders cited “significant and worsening management issues…"

The Trump epidemic is catching.

I have an even better idea, at least if it’s correct that the House Speaker doesn’t need to be a member! Not to mention any names, but I hear there might be an opening there.
Edit: It looks like I’m right. If it’s possible to throw more sand in the GOP’s gears than is there already this’d be perfect.

Congratulations, you have been awarded the ishouldsaidishouldasaid award.

The Heritage Board can’t convince me that its members didn’t know about DeMint’s extremist, authoritarian ideas and behaviors before they hired him. They knew, but they were hoping they could harness them to push their right-wing agenda. It’s very likely that DeMint’s desire for control of all things became too much for them to deal with, so they rightly gave him the boot. I imagine they’re celebrating with champagne and caviar at Heritage headquarters today.

I thought that was a specialty of Jets’ fans.

Seriously, the Bears trade for position the way crack addicts trade for $2.
