I want the same thing, plus prison time for all of them.

> Steven Miller is not quite as much of an attention whore and word is that he actually gets along well with Javanka. I’ve always felt that Bannon was the aggressive one, Gorka the bat-shit insane one, but Miller is perhaps the most dangerous one of them all. He’s smart. He knows how to stay out of sight and to be able to survive in this toxic environment requires a certain amount of bacterial resistance. He’s also a terror in news interviews and public addresses.

You give him too much credit. Miller is a loathsome cockroach. No-one can respect that and I doubt very much J&I are fooled for a second. He may think he’s ingratiated himself to the Trump family but he is expendable and they will crush him the minute they are tired of his brown nosing.

Gosh, unemployed right after the holidays. Hope he doesn’t let himself go and start drinking too much.

I wonder how the Deep State coerced him into criticizing the Trumps?

Hard to believe, but according to _The Fire and the Fury_, he doesn’t drink. Not since 1998.

That’s even worse. Nobody should look like that when they’re sober.

He committed the cardinal sin of criticizing a Republican President. Being seen as betraying and stabbing him in the back. You know, the slightest sign that he didn’t completely fellate Donald every nanosecond of his miserable existence.

The Mercers (Billionaire Trump backers and Breitbart investors) wanted him gone.

To be fair, Anthony Scaramucci provided us with a full explanation for why Bannon can’t constantly fellate anyone else.

He must be extremely dehydrated. That must be why he looks so miserable all the time.

Awful lot of wreckage associated with this administration, no?

The thing jumping out at me is how few people are free and how many are owned. The Mercers are sort of free I guess, they get to make the decisions. Bannon? Owned by the Mercers. Most of the GOP? Owned by the donors. Mike Pence? Owned by Trump. Maybe Trump is owned by Putin, who knows? In any case, we see who is and is not in control of their own destinies.

Remember how in the Obama administration all those former officials were just constantly badmouthing him and each other, and couldn’t wait to tell reporters how dysfunctional and horrible everything about working there was?

Yeah, me neither.

That’s old news, everyone knows he doesn’t drink.

Anyway, they don’t sell booze at McDonald’s.

Not Trump… Bannon doesn’t drink according to The Book.

Which means he got hit by every ugly stick in his family tree, he used to really drink or he’s been doing Krokodil for the last 2 decades to look so “rode hard and put away wet”.

Man, I shouldn’t have typed that because now that image is stuck in my head.
