There’s also the attempt to create a “Trump Real News” network, and there also is the Sinclair All Crazy All The Time News network.
The right wing will always have their stage and their microphone; the important thing is to stand up to them and make them uncomfortable. What happened in Boston today, what’s been happening the past few days in the streets and in public discourse is the best thing I’ve seen in a while. Good people are getting fed up and they’re tired of sitting around and letting these loud mouth fuckers get away with peeing on our legs and calling it rain. Keep it up, America. That’s how you win this game. Out-anger them. Out-protest them. Out-shout them. Out-vote them.
It’s the globalists, and that starts with “G” which is pronounced like “J” and that stands for JOOOOS!
On some level, this has to sting. He never held Jews in high regard to begin with if you can believe the testimony of his ex, and he was basically defeated by two Jews (Kushner and Cohn) in the White House.
Everything I’ve read for the last few years in left leaning internet and media says there was already a GOP civil war and extremists already won.
I think ‘Bannon goes back to Breitbart’ is over hyped as a story, including by right leaning media and internet. The guy has something on the ball to get where he has, but I don’t see how him being at Breitbart is going to make them such a bigger megaphone to eg. say Ryan, McConnell, HR McMaster etc are the anti-Christ, or rail against ‘globalists’, ‘elitists’, ‘the chamber of commerce’ as malign forces in the GOP, which they’ve been doing non-stop all along anyway. Bannon himself has had to hold his tongue publicly for the most part. But what’s going to make Breitbart such a hugely bigger force against ‘the GOP establishment’ just because he’s back there? I don’t get that. Maybe the rest of the media hyping Breitbart more?
The big difference I would see is if Breitbart starts attacking Trump. They insist publicly that’s not the idea but we’ll see. And if they do start attacking Trump, I’m not sure that works out for them, or necessarily strengthens ‘extremists’. To a lot of left leaning people all Republicans are ‘extremists’ (unless they denounce the GOP). The warning about ‘extremism’ now would be more convincing if so many people hadn’t been saying the GOP was ‘extremist’ for years, or ‘no, now they’re really extremists’, I guess is the message. 
Or they (say Paul Ryan and Bannon) are just different kinds of ‘extremists’. But then ‘extremists’ win any fight among them automatically.
“Jews will not replace us.”
How’s that going?
Good post.
I admit it’s hard to game all this out. When I hypothesize the possibility of a GOP civil war, I guess I was thinking back to how the GOP managed to somehow avoid that during last year’s convention. Trump divided the GOP but then united it at the same time because it was their chance to defeat Hillary. He was an imagined president, representing the possibilities for an assertive GOP agenda. That just hasn’t panned out. And now it’s not clear what direction Trump is going to take.
I think Trump wanted to do much of what Bannon wrote out on his infamous white board, but for all of the talk of Trump’s impatience, I sorta wonder if it’s not Bannon who is also impatient and impossible to work with. Bannon is now clearly a guy who doesn’t do pragmatism. He wanted to be a revolutionary, and he was getting in people’s way. His arrogance is similar to that of Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Richard Perle, and Paul Wolfowitz all combined into one person. Bannon could have probably gotten some, maybe even a lot, of what he wanted done if he had just known the limits of his knowledge and capabilities at navigating the government. Instead he just wanted to tear it all down, just like Trump. But his influence was a destructive one. The federal government is a hard thing to deconstruct; it can probably be done but it still probably needs more time to corrode and it requires someone (probably someone inside the military or who has a tone of experience) to know how to dismantle it. Government was not Bannon’s domain, and he ended up driving the car over the cliff.
Now Bannon is back to where he’s more comfortable. I think he could incite a civil war and he could indeed turn on Trump, and that seems almost inevitable if Trump decides to pivot toward the center, which is what seems likely now given his awful week handling a crisis. One thing I unfortunately feel confident in saying is that Trumpism will outlive Trump.
The ominous post script to the bolded part is that maybe this is what Bannon will now devote all of his attention and energy to doing: deconstructing the establishment, acting as a corrosive agent on the institutional strength that form the pillars of our current government. And worse, now that he’s been involved in the government and presumably has a lot more knowledge of its inner workings, he now knows better than he did as an outsider, where the weaknesses in the infrastructure exist. He might now also know people deep within the system who don’t like the system and want to help Bannon dismantle it themselves. In some ways, Steve Bannon may have become a lot more dangerous.
Oooh, edgy.
How many times are you going to make this lame joke?
88?
As Bill Maher said on his latest show:
*Jews will not replace us! * Uhm, yeah… they actually will!
Breitbart this morning put up an article about Spanish police catching human traffickers on jet-skis. They accompanied the article with a photo of a “migrant” being hauled in by a “Spanish officer” on a jet-ski that turned out to actually be a photo of German soccer star Lukas Podolski being given a jet-ski ride by a Brazilian soldier during the 2014 World Cup. Promising return so far, Steve!
Here’s a screenshot. I’d been wondering whether it had been photoshopped, but I wasn’t prepared to visit Breitbart to find out.
Another Trump hateful minion gets kicked to the curb: Gorka forced out.
Go fuck yourself Gorka, you reptilian scumbag.
Gorka probably got run off because he’s a Bannon ally and Trump is paranoid about leaks. I don’t feel any sort of relief at all, and I suspect that Trump will now do things to the extreme just to out-Bannon Bannon and out-Gorka Gorka, or at least to blunt criticism from them either preemptively or reactively. Paranoia is part of the brain architecture of the authoritarian. This is why some of the conservatives who support Trump now will ultimately find that Trump has no real friends. To an authoritarian, everyone is a potential threat.
I prefer to view this as a pre-amble to eventually getting rid of the great orange menace himself.
I think Steve Miller can’t be too far behind.
I just hope Pence is found somehow complicit in the Russia investigation and is forced to go too.
I want Trump thoroughly isolated and embattled without a single ally before he’s finally impeached or quits.
Wouldn’t acting differently just underline the notion that Trump was only a Bannon/Gorka’s puppet.
He could say that he was deciding all the time if he just goes as before and it might even sound believable. Is Trump capable of considering those aspects ? Would he even care?
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.
We got trouble right here in River City 
For real. I hope the fucker gets hit by a garbage truck - or lightning - or ANY damn thing.
