Latest nazi to lose their job: Steve Bannon

[Quartz]

I would not wish dismissal on anyone but there are some dismissals of which I read with pleasure.

No. Not for me. Trump needs to be taken out by the constitution. Otherwise his supporters will bleat on about how wonderful he was and how sad it was that his time was cut short. “He worked so hard for us it killed him”.

Of course they will still say that, but he needs to be taken out by legal means.

Already people are leaving his Trump badge. I would love to see them leave in droves and not a single reservation made at his venues for the rest of his days.

I see your point, but I don’t have enough faith in the Republican Party to believe that outcome is plausible.

Unless by “taken out by the constitution” you’re referring to the constitutional limit on how long his term can be. And four years of his America-hating fuckstickery? NFW.

…Takes huge bong rip… Oh shit! I thought “Idiocracy” was made into a Netflix series and I’ve been wondering why the previews are all over the news. What season is this?

Not sure what Bannon’s plan here is:

"The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over,” Bannon said Friday, shortly after confirming his departure. “We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over. It’ll be something else. And there’ll be all kinds of fights, and there’ll be good days and bad days, but that presidency is over.”

“Now I’m free. I’ve got my hands back on my weapons. Someone said, ‘it’s Bannon the Barbarian.’ I am definitely going to crush the opposition. There’s no doubt. I built a f***ing machine at Breitbart. And now I’m about to go back, knowing what I know, and we’re about to rev that machine up. And rev it up we will do.”

But then there’s this:

“If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents – on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America,” Bannon told Bloomberg News Friday in his first public comments after his departure was announced.

So, he lost the fight for the agenda he and Trump had planned. There’s now a new “presidency” involving Jared, Ivanka, et al. But he says he’s going to war for Trump. How does he plan to do that without targeting the administration that’s trying to accomplish everything he is against? It doesn’t make any sense.

Well at least it was wildly successful and they got so much done while it lasted.

It doesn’t make any sense.

And this differs from the entire course of the Trump administration so far… how? :dubious:

[AK84]

Bannon back at Breitbart? Why do people think that a good thing? In the WH, he was singularly useless. He chaired an editorial meeting yesterday evening at Britebart. They are already up in arms over statues, free speech etc. He will be able to be Trump’s Guderian.

Yeah, I soon as I posted that I thought “I’m trying to make sense of Trumpworld”. :smack:

Explain, please. All I could find on wikipedia under that name were a couple of German military men.

Did you mean to say “Goebbels”?

Guderian was the father of the German Panzer Corps, his book Achtung-Panzer! was the primary influence on how Germany organized its armored forces before the war, and during the war Hitler appointed him Inspector General of Armored Troops in 1943. Goebbels works for me too, six of one, half dozen of the other.

[Claude_Remains]

Oh… but Trump’s birthday is in June. Nice try. I didn’t and cant vote for Mr. Trump but that other guy said something about hating juice. I fucking HATE juice.

No, no no. I don’t mean term limits. Nor death. And assassination would be the worst thing. Straight jacket would be nice but I doubt that.

He is turning out to be so incompetent, that even his own may turn on him. I doubt that to though. They are just as fucking stupid as he is. Or more if that’s possible. So Impeachment or article 25.

I think Bannon’s remarks about fighting for Trump against his opponents should be taken for what they are. He believes that globalists, Capitol Hill, and corporate America are Trump’s enemies. He just believes that Trump is surrounded by the wrong people, is getting bad input, and needs to be reminded of who is ‘friends’ really are. And Bannon is going to give them a megaphone and they’re going to scream into it as loudly as they can right at the White House. This is no longer about Trump; this is about a potential civil war within the Republican party. But I would be careful about rejoicing just yet. It’s a civil war that could be won by the extremists.

Well, he’s going to try. With Fox News getting shitty ratings, Breitbart is poised to move into the lead as Republican news source of choice. They need their own tv channel, but that’s not hard to come by, these days. In the meantime, web streaming is an important factor, too, and Breitbart is already there.

I have no doubt that Eric’s Wife’s propaganda show will debut on Breitbart, soon. (And Bannon is savvy enough that he’ll get a professional presenter).

Will anyone buy what they’re selling? I mean, I didn’t think the American public would fall for Donald in the first place, so what do I know. If Breitbart perpetuates the fight against McConell and Sessions - I’m not sure what the Senate will do. OTOH, Breitbart should provide lots of fawning coverage of Donald’s next campaign rally, in Phoenix on Tuesday. That should be fun. Expect lots of mourning for the Lost Cause, there.

I suspect that Donald is hoping that with Breitbart riding herd, he can fire Mueller and then intimidate the Senate into cancelling their investigation. We’ll see.
