Bye, bye Bannon

One fell swoop and Trump is able to knock Mueller's Russian bullshit off the front pages.

Happily, Trump may be as dumb as you are in thinking that the media coverage of Mueller's investigation is what's important concerning the issue. It's not, dimwit. It's what the investigation is doing outside of the purview of the media, which is just spinning wheels anyway until the investigation is concluded. With luck, Trump is as dumb as you're being and thinks that keeping this out of the media takes care of it. It doesn't. The investigation isn't "fake news," dopey. It's happening.

That investigation is for the benefit of simpering dummies like you, panty twist.

One fell swoop and Trump's daily shitshows are able to keep Mueller's Russian investigations going on in the background.

Mueller took it off the front pages.

Trump is on the front page for having staffers that openly undermine his foreign policies, etc.

Well, there you have it, the three articles on top at Breitbart. Two of them drawing a parallel between Trump and Obama.

So is the new Afghanistan policy the work of Jared Kushner, or is that no longer in his job description?

Fake news is anything you don't like.
Real news is anything you agree with.
Weather news shifts between the two.
Sports news -- I don't bother with that.
The astrology column is more reliable.
Hey -- does Breitbart do astrology?
Wait for the next Pizzagate in Scorpio.

I have to admit, "His McMaster's Voice" isn't bad.

The thing about the Breitbarters is that they're serious ideologues, not Trump cultists. They were singing this tune before Trump came on the scene, and they will still be there after he's pushing up the palms at Mar-a-Lago. If he deviates from their agenda and starts acting like Just Another Republican, he becomes fair game. I don't think it's just Bannon taking revenge, though that's how it will be framed.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Oh, he's gone from the oval, and I wouldn't call Breitbart a "another front" like it hasn't always been there.

We'll see. There is always that caveat we'll support Trump as long as he is pushing our agenda. It was there in April and it's there now. Meanwhile, Gorka will be next out the door. Although, Trump has a gift for talking/tweeting in headlines rather than having the talking points come from the administration. Kelly doesn't seem the effective in that regard.

He wasn't even on the bingo card. I feel cheated.

Is Bannon right?

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said Sunday the firing of FBI Director James Comey may have been the biggest mistake in "modern political history."

I disagree. I think things like dictating jr's statement about the meeting with the Kremlin lawyer will prove to be a bigger mistake made while Trump had been in office.

 

[Freudian_Slit]

Close call, and a good contender, nonetheless. And it shows a smidgen of awareness by the alt-right. Hey, credit where credit is due.

He's almost certainly right about this, as well as the legal corner it painted Trump into:

The ousted White House adviser also said that if Comey hadn't been fired, "we would not have the Mueller investigation," referring to special counsel Robert Mueller, who is heading the investigation into possible ties between Trump's election campaign and the Russian government.

 

[jomar]

Interesting Bannon basically claims he knew firing Comey would lead to the Meullar investigation.

We've all seen it, now if you are a racist, you simply deny it and try to pin that label on the folks calling you out.

I'm not so sure calling out Steve Bannon as a racist is the best line of attack. It's certainly not going to sway any of his backers or supporters.

Will this run to the right push the left even closer to the center?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/powe...3a5af4-b9a0-11e7-9e58-e6288544af98_story.html

Allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared open warfare on Wednesday against Stephen K. Bannon, the former White House chief strategist and leader of an insurrection aimed at defeating mainstream Republican candidates in next year's midterm elections.

More than a year ahead of the 2018 congressional contests, a super PAC aligned with McConnell (R-Ky.) revealed plans to attack Bannon personally as it works to protect GOP incumbents facing uphill primary fights. The effort reflects the growing concern of Republican lawmakers over the rise of anti-establishment forces and comes amid escalating frustration over President Trump's conduct, which has prompted a handful of lawmakers to publicly criticize the president.

Yet the retaliatory crusade does not aim to target Trump, whose popularity remains high among Republican voters. Instead, the McConnell-allied Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) will highlight Bannon's hard-line populism and attempt to link him to white nationalism to discredit him and the candidates he will support. It will also boost candidates with traditional GOP profiles and excoriate those tied to Bannon, with plans to spend millions and launch a heavy social media presence in some states.

I don't think he is trying to change the mind of Bannon's supporters as much as he is trying to link Bannon's candidates to white supremacy to damage them in the primaries.

The "traditional" republican party has been stood on it's head by all the anger and hate that Bannon and Trump have fueled. How "conservative" a candidate is doesn't matter anywhere near as much as it used to. Now, it's all about being anti-establishment, anti-immigration and anti-liberal.

Well said, I'm just not sure that tactic will work. Although, Trump has a new low approval rating of 38% in a Faux News poll.
