Certainly he contributes to the dysfunction in the White House, but he is not the cause of it. He’s like a secondary cancer. You should extract it, but it doesn’t make the rest of the cancer go away.

He floated the idea of a tax hike on the rich. Now he must die.

ok…so, I refuse to ever read the WSJ Editorial page, so I will make this comment blindly. I hope they brought up the apparent coordinated effort between the Russian bots and Breitbart to attack McMaster. On a related topic, why haven’t we heard Bannon’s name brought up more regarding the Russia investigation?

If Bannon goes down, it will be because Brad Parscale turned state’s evidence. Remember that he was hired quite late, and so wasn’t around for that June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower. For the same reason Kellyanne has a measure of plausible deniability.

This message will not reach its intended target until it is dumbed way, way down and put on FOX & FRIENDS. Murdoch can do that, of course. He knows how to reach the dumb.

Bannon’s evil all on his own. As far as I can tell, that’s not linked to Russia; he’s just evil.

Murdoch’s properties have soured on trump? How does that jive with the 22 out of 24 hour tongue bathing they give him on Fox?

The Conservatives have high hopes for Kelly. He is their best hope for reining in donnie. Of course, this is impossible, but how dare Bannon try to sabotage their last prayer for a turnaround.

Russian trolls started spewing anti-McMaster crap at the same time Breitbart did. Bannon still has Breitbart connections and is pro-Russia.

Someone recently (NYT?) wrote something suggesting Bannon is coordinating messaging with Russia. And if he’s doing it now, he likely did it during the campaign.

Where do you get that Bannon is pro-Russia? Best I can tell, he’s always warned against Putin.

I wouldn’t read anything in to them having a temporary alignment of interests (e.g., McMasters); that happens among competitors all the time. They may each want to get rid of him for completely different reasons.

Nobody here is going to do anything about Murdoch’s blatantly unethical activities, so it’s good to know that the UK is on the case to prevent the spread of Murdochism there.

Besides, I’m sure Bannon loves the chaos. He’s out to prove something that is being totally orchestrated by him.

He’s in for a fall. A long one.

Like Trump needs someone to create dysfunction in WH.
